AmeriPride Services’ Watkinsville, GA, Springfield, MO, and Minneapolis, MN, locations have earned Hygienically Clean Healthcare certifications.
The certification reflects a laundry’s ongoing commitment to best management practices in laundering as verified by on-site inspection and its capability to produce hygienically clean textiles as quantified by ongoing microbial testing. It emphasizes infection prevention, compliance with recognized industry standards and processing healthcare textiles according to quality assurance standards.
To maintain their certification, a laundry must pass quarterly testing to ensure that as laundry conditions change, such as water quality, textile fabric composition and wash chemistry, laundered product quality is consistently maintained. Re-inspection occurs every two to three years.
AmeriPride now has 13 Hygienically Clean Healthcare certified facilities throughout the United States.
