Dirty linen and terry should never be used as guestroom cleaning rags.Bloodstained linen or terry must be placed separately in a biohazard waste bag (pre-sort in guestroom).Biohazard waste bag should be on every housekeeping cart.
Sorting Once in OPL, laundry is sorted both in terms of fabric type & degree of staining.
WashingThis step is the most complex part.Monitor a: washing times, b: wash temperatures, c: chemicals, d: agitation length and strength
