Infection prevention microfiber textile products should no longer be purchased and owned by environmental services, according to an article on the Infection Control Today website.
Instead, the laundry/linen department or contractor must take on the responsibility of providing infection prevention microfiber products.
In the case of a hospital-operated laundry, they get the infection prevention textiles.
In the case of a contracted laundry, ownership of the EVS textiles — like the other textiles — should be theirs.
