As a matter of fact, multidrug-resistant germs threatening debilitated patients as well as home residents keep spreading if they are brought to clean laundry via improper handling of dirty laundry. The hygiene expert at Electrolux Professional, Thomas Schauerte told that it’s possible to reduce the risk of recontamination or cross-contamination of multidrug-resistant bacteria in nursing homes. For this purpose, the laundry cycle needs to be separated between clean laundry and dirty laundry.     

The company promotes developing and installing laundries in community facilities based on the black-and-white principle. The main thing here is to separate between the clean and the dirty side. First, the laundry needs to be collected in separate containers. Then, it should be washed in specialized barrier washing machines. Once one side is filled, another is emptied to disinfected containers.
