If the   washing machine does not have this setting the hottest wash possible for   the fabric should be used and sanisoft, bactericidal fabric conditioner   added to the final rinse. * Safetex bags/dissolvo sacks must be available for use with machines having   a sluicing facility, or a cold rinse programme. * C.   HEAT LABILE CLOTHING * This is clothing manufactured from fabrics which would be damaged by normal   heat disinfection or by machine washing. e.g. thermal underwear, knitted   polyester. * These must be washed according to care label at temperatures below 40°C. * These items cause concern if they become infected as bacteria will multiply   on the fabrics. The Department of Health recommend the use of bleach to   disinfect such items; however, this is not advisable as it damages the   fibres. *    A combined fabric conditioner and bacteria sanitiser called Sanisoft      (Catalogue No. 598948) is now available to disinfect Heat labile items.      Sanisoft replaces Divosan QC. Sanisoft has a lemon fragrance and will not      damage fabrics. It is a fabric conditioner so must not be used on fabrics      that are required to be absorbent e.g. reusable bed pads. The chemical is      fed into the machine during the final rinse via the liquid dosing system.  N.B. Sanisoft can only be used on washing machines with the liquid dosing      system installed. To install please contact your Diversey Lever representative. For Further information contact the Hotel Services Officer (01962 847289) or your Diversey Lever Representative. (See appendix 9)  Laundry will also be sorted by other groups:- Fabric type:Cotton, polycotton, synthetics "Area" type:Kitchen, laundry, overalls, resident's clothing, dining room laundry Colour: Light and dark colours. (i.e.. residents bedroom, bathroom toilet etc.) * All used/ infected/heat labile items must be initially sorted at source by      care staff etc. * No linen contaminated with body fluids shall be mixed with used linen as   this would make all linen infected and would therefore require processing   on a hospital setting (thermal disinfection) * All linen containing body fluid such as urine, blood, vomit and faeces must   be put into a safetex bag or dissolvo sack if no safetex bag is available   and sorted as described in Section 1 page 7-16 * All used/infected linen must be sorted into covered bins/trolley * Used/infected linen must not be carried around the establishment in staff   arms unless within a safetex bag or dissolvo sack. * Where a laundry chute is used all infected linen must be thrown down a   chute in a colour coded bag/ safetex bag or dissolvo sack. * The laundry chute door must be locked when not in use and fittted with a   guard to prevent persons falling down the chute. *  Where possible the use of the laundry chute should be discontinued. TROLLEYS AND BINS TO SORT/COLLECT/STORE & TRANSPORT USED/INFECTED LINEN The trolley/ bin used to sort/collect/store and transport used or infected linenfrom source to laundry chute or laundry room must be looked at as part of the risk assessment to ensure that it reduces the risk of contamination from micro organisms and moving and handling injuries to staff. They should have the following features:- *     well fitting lid *     easy to load and unload e.g hinged lid *     on wheels *     braked wheels if required *     easy to manoeuvre *     has a handle to assist with moving *     correct height which does not create a stooped posture when moving,       loading unloadingeasy to unload *     easy to clean/disinfect *     allow laundry to be sorted into differentbins/bags e.g. colour coded       bags * Laundry must not be sorted on the floor unless this is unavoidable. There   should be sufficient laundry bins/ colour coded bags available for each   group as previous discused. For information on laundry bins and bags contact the Hotel Services Officer or Hardware Section at County Supplies 01962 846157                              ( SEE APPENDIX 6& 7 )                               PROTECTIVE CLOTHING   * Laundry Assistants must wear overalls or work wear such as polo   shirts/trousers/tabard when working in the laundry . . *  Rubber gloves must be worn :- i. When handling used/soiled laundry. ii. When hand washing. iii For all cleaning tasks. iv. When changing over containers on liquid dosing system or handling any washing powder or fabric softener. * Disposable gloves and plastic aprons must be available in the laundry for   laundry assistant to wear when handling infected laundry. * Laundry staff must report to their manager any skin irritation such as dry   skin, rash, allergy or dermatitis. Manager must follow guidelines as laid   down in Hazardous Substances COSHH Manual.  It is advisable that disposable gloves are kept in a plastic dispenser on the wall. * Eye protection such as safety over glasses or goggles must be worn when   dispensing chemicals, changing liquid dosing bottles *  Face masks must be worn when cleaning the lint screen on the tumble drier.                                 THERMAL DISINFECTION   Thermal disinfection involves holding washing liquor for sufficient time/sufficient temperature to disinfect items washed on such programmes. On the majority of washing machines purchased during the last 15 years this is built into the Hospital Programme. The hospital programme ensures that:- 65°C (Polycotton) temperature is maintained for at least 10 minutes. 93°Ctemperature is maintained for at least 3 minutes. Items washed at these programmes are thermally disinfected and most bacteria/viruses are destroyed during the washing process. ITEMS WHICH MUST BE THERMAL DISINFECTED 1. Infected items - items contaminated with a body spillage. 2. All bedding. 3. All towels/flannels. 4. Kitchen cloths/tea towels/uniforms. See Section 1 page 16 5. Workwear/uniforms generally. e.g tabards 6. Colour coded mops and cloths if commercial machine used - polycotton 65°C      or 71°C cotton hospital programme. N.B.On all Electrolux machines the polycotton setting has a slow cool down which maintains the non crease qualities of the fabric. This setting also has a short spin.                               THE SAFETEX BAG SYSTEM BACKGROUND This system provides a simple and effective method of protecting staff and service users from infections from body fluids from all infected laundry. It is environmentally friendly as it reduces the use and disposal of red plastic dissolvo sacks within establishments each day. The bag is washed and dried with the load or air dried and therefore does not use any additional energy.`   LEGAL GUIDELINES Although there is no specific Health and Safety Regulation for laundry operations, it is covered under the Health And Safety at Work Act 1974 and the Management of Health and Safety Regulation 1992. It would also be required under Control of Substances Hazardous to Health Regulation 1995 as micro organisms are included in this regulation. HEALTH SERVICE GUIDELINES HSG(95)18 The NHS have produced guidelines which should be adopted as good practice by all laundries who handle potentially infected laundry; this includes NHS laundries , private laundries, all nursing and residential homes in house laundries. The purpose of the guidelines are to protect staff handling and processing linen. These guidelines include the collection, sorting and washing of linen. The guidelines recommend that all laundry is sorted at source. It is felt that these guidelines may soon become the framework for a health and safety regulation and are accepted by the Health and Safety Executive as a good practise standard..   Hampshire Social Services have to work on the assumption that all laundry contaminated with body secretions could be infected and must be sorted at source. Until recently the method used to prevent laundry staff coming into contact with infected laundry was dissolvo sacks. DISSOLVO SACKS (The previous system) Dissolvo sacks are the patent name for a red plastic sack which has a cold water soluble strip and cold water soluble tie manufactured by a company called ENAK. The bags are widely used throughout the country in health, nursing homes and residential homes both private, voluntary and local authority run. For many years ENAK have had been the only manufacturer of this type of system.   The purpose of dissolvo sacks is to isolate and transport soiled and infected laundry from the source to the laundry room   Dissolvo sacks are a single use. The sack is put into a washing machine and the sluice cycle opens the bag, releasing the items and allowing the laundry to be washed. The plastic bag is disposed of at the end of the washing cycle. Before the devolvment of budgets to areas and units, the purchase of dissolvo sacks was held centrally in the incontinence budget. Managers where therefore able to purchase as many bags as required. However many units did not use the sacks as required so consumption although high was not as high as one would expect. Today with the budgets restrictions Dissolvo sacks are not used for all laundry contaminated with body secretions, the minimum standards laid down in the previous Laundry Manual where:-   *  during an outbreak of Diarrhoea and vomiting   *  when a resident has a know infection   *  during bed changing at night   *  during staff sickness or holiday when laundry will not be processed for      some time The actual uses in residential units vary, e.g. some units only use them during an outbreak, some only use them at night others use them more frequently. The reasons for this varies but some suggestions are:-   *  varying laundry systems   *  budget restraint vs. health and safety   *  lack of knowledge by managers   *  poor control of usage by managers and staff   *  lack of management support   *  lack of training for staff   *  lack of staff awareness of their existence   *  incorrect use e.g. used as a waste bag This system is recommended by the department of health and is particularly important in many residential homes in Hampshire as laundry often has to be transported near to kitchen, dining room. front entrances and laundries are often sited near to the main kitchens. THE DISADVANTAGES OF THE DISSOLVO SACK SYSTEM * cost 20p each * not used by all establishments as necessary * training only occurs as part of the departmental laundry course or by   management in the establishment. * one use only * linen must be sorted before placing in the bag * damage to clothing due to incorrect sorting into bags. * mixed loads require various temperatures * under/overloading * incorrect use * environmental plastic usage and waste * plastic bags can be faulty * plastic bag can burst when thrown down a laundry chute. * bag will disintegrate if soluble strip becomes wet. * staff found handling bag with wet hands can often cause the bag ties or   strip to dissolve. * staff remove the soluble ties and cause holes to appear in the bag. * water soluble ties are often missing * if not sealed correctly the bag will not open fully THE ADVANTAGES ARE:- * infected laundry is only handled at source. * micro organisms can't multiply * less risk of infection to staff and residents * less risk of cross contamination * Ammonia can't form due to lack of oxygen therefore urine smells are not   produced. * prevents stains setting as laundry doesn't dry out * laundry can be safely transported near to kitchen etc. * dirty laundry can be left until laundry assistant is on duty this could be   days. * laundry can be transported safely in cars e.g. community laundry * can be used for an emergency such as machinery breakdown.  HOW TO USE DISSOLVO SACKS The use of  dissolvo sacks now will  be minimal but  when needed staff  should follow the following instructions. 1.    A supply of dissolvo sacks should be kept on the premises for emergency       use ofortransport of infected linen outside the premises. e.g. Community       Laundry, day centres, vehicles. A sack stand is available to hold the       sacks when in use. 2.   Items must be sorted before putting in the sack, i.e. polycotton and       cotton Items which cannot withstand thermal disinfection must be put       into a separate dissolvo sack to other infected items to allow laundry       staff to process at low temperatures with sanisoft bactericidal fabric       conditioner added.Items must be sluiced off to remove organic matter       before placing in the sack. 3.   Don't remove the water soluble tie from the side of the sack as this can       cause holes to appear in the sack. 4.   Place items in the bag. Turn the water soluble strip side of the sack to       the back of the sack stand. This stops water running down the front of       the sack dissolving the strip.( For information on sack stand see       appendix 6) 5.   When the bag is two-thirds full, exhaust the air in the sack and tie       tightly using the water soluble tape supplied.       i)  Do not overfill bag or it will not fit into machine.       ii) Do not knot the bag - this will prevent the soluble strip dissolving             fully.       iii)  Do not leave bags open after filling. This allows bacteria to             escape and odours to be given off. 6.   Take Dissolvo sacks to laundry. Do not store on a wet floor or in a sink       as water will dissolve the strip. 7.   Without opening the bag place in the machine as soon as possible. 8.   The machine should be set for a sluice programme followed by a hospital       programme. Alternatively, a cold rinse followed by a hot wash may be       used if machine has no hospital programme. 9.   During the cold sluice/cold rinse, both strip ties will dissolve and       contents of bag will be released into drum. 10.  At the end of the cold sluice/cold rinse programme and without opening       the machine door or removing the bag, the items should then be washed on       a hospital programme so that the bag and contents are thermally       disinfected. 11.  The sack must be removed at the end of the wash cycle and thrown in the       waste bin. DISSOLVO SACKS USAGE AND COST PER ESTABLISHMENT (1998) The consumption of dissolvo sacks varies but if an establishment used the sacks to transport all laundry contaminated with body fluid such as urine, blood, vomit and faeces, the average consumption would be 10 per day. THE COST  Dissolvo sacks cost approx. £40 per box of 200 therefore cost per bag is .20p If one establishment use 10 bags per day cost per day is £2 Therefore the annual cost is 2 X 365 = £730 per annum   FUTURE USE OF DISSOLVO SACKS There will be a future need for dissolvo sacks   *  when extra bags are needed in an emergency such as an outbreak of      infection, staff shortages.   *  for use in establishments who operate a community laundry e.g.      Nightingale Lodge.   *  when a day care service user requires infected clothing to be transported      to their home for washing.   *  when needed to transport infected laundry in a vehicle. THE SAFETEX SYSTEM (The New System) This is an alternative bag to the dissolvo sack which is more cost effective, provides a quality service, is environmentally sound and protects the health and safety of staff and service users. Content Ltd. have recently introduced a reusable alternative to the dissolvo sack called Safetex. They have the patent of this design and will supply direct to the establishments. Content Ltd. have also provided laundry trolleys to a number of homes in the last 2 years. This system will be introduced during 1998 to all residential and some day care units who handle infected laundry and will form part of the control measures required under the Control of Substances Hazardous to Health Regulation 1995. All residential establishment who have potentially infected laundry on their premises will receive full training before implementing this system. This training should be completed in full by July 1998. Training, all staff who handle infected laundry must attend the training session. This includes:-   *  care assistants   *  night care assistants   *  senior care assistants   *  management   *  laundry assistant   *  relief laundry staff The initial purchase of the bags is being funded centrally so all invoices will be sent to your Property Services Assistant for payment. Any additional bags or future replacements will be funded by the establishment.     SAFETEX BAGS The system consists of a waterproof bag which is held together with poppers. The bags are supplied in three colour:   *  RED   *  BLUE   *  GREEN THE COST Considerable cost saving can be made by introducing the Safetex system. Cost per Safetex bag is £12.95 If a home use 10 dissolvo sacks it is estimated they would require at least 20 Safetex bags to allow for processing time. 20 x £12.95 = £259 per annum   TOTAL COST OF DISSOLVO SACKS PER UNIT PER ANNUM = £ 730 TOTAL COST OF SAFETEX BAGS PER UNIT PER ANNUM = £ 250 The total saving per annum would be £480 These figures reflect the saving made if Safetex bags were used to transport all contaminated linen. This saving would be greater as although the bags are guaranteed for 250 washes, which means if washed alternate days would last 500 days. I have also found that reusable bed pads which are made of a similar plastic they are still in use years after their expected lifespan. Chris Speak from Content has also commented that the bags have been on sale for 18 months and as yet no original customer has had to purchase replacements. The bag is washed and dried with the load so there is no extra washing/ drying costs. If bag is aired dried outside during dry weather this also prolongs the life. bags don't have to be fully dry to be re-issued for use. ADDITIONAL ADVANTAGES COMPARED TO DISSOLVO SACK * cost * training provided to staff before use. * guaranteed at least 250 washes each * environmentally friendly as does not waste plastic bags. *  fully waterproof * will not disintegrate if wet. * staff are able to sort with use of colour coded system * all linen contaminated with body spillage can be put into Safetex bag * only care staff handle linen contaminated with body fluids * the same system will be introduced throughout Social services therefore any   member of staff can work in another unit and be familiar with the system. * the initial purchase is funded from the central budget. THE DISADVANTAGES OF DISSOLVO SACKS ARE REMOVED THE ONLY DISADVANTAGES OF THIS SYSTEM COMPARED TO THE DISSOLVO SACK ARE:- * items must be correctly sorted by care staff to ensure that items are   washed at the correct temperature. * the bags are not transparent so staff must use the correct coloured bags * care staff will need to be trained in sorting * ensuring that there are enough Safetex bags available. * dissolvo sacks may still be required for use in an outbreak of infection in   the establishment as there will be more infected linen. * dissolvo sacks will still be required for infected linen being transported   outside the establishment e.g. infected linen being brought in or taken   home by respite, community laundries or day care service users HOW TO USE THE SAFETEX SYSTEM 1.   Care staff sort all laundry contaminated with any body fluid into one of      3 coloured bags at source e.g. bedroom, bathroom, toilet and medical      rooms.   *  RED All items contaminated with body fluid that can be washed at 65°C      Hospital Programme with a fabric conditioner added e.g cotton and      polycotton bedding,   *  GREEN All reusable bed pads, chair pads and personal pads. These items      can be washed at a hospital programme but fabric conditioner must not be      added as it affects the absorbency.   *  BLUE All items contaminated with body fluids that cannot be washed at a      hospital programme (Heat labile) e.g personal clothing. 2.   Any item which requires sluicing is taken to the sluice in the sealed      bag, removed sluiced and returned to the Safetex bag and then resealed. 3.   Bags must not be overfilled, or under filled, if a bag had only a few      items in it must be sealed and reopened when there are another items. 4    Sealed bags must be taken to the laundry in a laundry trolley or down the      laundry chute and stored there until processing. 5.   The laundry assistant sorts and processes the bags by colour.   *  RED bags processed with a sluice/prewash Main wash Hospital programme      65°C destainer and fabric conditioner turned on.   *  BLUE bags processes with a sluice and then main wash 30/40 °C no      destainer used. Sanisoft the bactericidal fabric conditioner is added.   *  GREEN bags processes with sluice and pre wash. Main wash 65 or 71°C with      destainer and no fabric conditioner or sanisoft added. 6.   The 3 poppers at the top are opened before the bags are put fully into      the machine. The bag is put into washing machine bottom first, before       closing the machine the popper on the tie are undone. 7.   After washing the bags are either line dried or in the tumble dryer for       15 minutes medium heat. 8.   The 3 popper at the top edge must be done up before returning to the       sluices for future use. LAUNDERING OF KITCHEN LAUNDRY *     All kitchen laundry must be washed on a hospital programme. *     If the laundry has no hospital programme wash on the hottest programme       possible. *     Items must not be bought for use in the kitchen if they cannot be       treated at a minimum 65°C hospital programme. *    All uniforms used in the kitchen and for serving meals should be      washed in-house. *    Yellow kitchen mop heads areas may be washed with blue and green mops.      See Laundering of Mops Section 1 page 16 *    Kitchen tea towels, oven cloths and yellow cloths must be washed      together. *    Kitchen laundry i.e. dish cloths, mop heads, tea towels, tablecloths,      napkins, must be kept separate from other laundry within the      establishment. *    Wash polycotton napkins and tablecloths on 65°C hospital programme. *    Wash tea towels and dishcloths at 93°C or 71°C hospital programme. *    Heat labile tableware e.g. nylon table cannot be washed above 40/50°C.      and if available Sanisoft should be added to final rinse in the machine. * There must be a covered bin designated for kitchen laundry only into which   all the items above are placed when used/soiled/dirty. LAUNDERING OF COLOUR CODED MOPS ANDCLOTHS (REFER ALSO TO CLEANING WITH COLOURS VIDEO AND SOCIAL SERVICES CLEANING MANUAL). MOP HANDLES Should be stored in clips on a wall surface. LAUNDERING OF MOP HEADS / CLOTHS a)  Mops heads and cloths used with approved disinfectant     should be washed together: i.e. White mop heads from Spot Mops      Red mop heads from toilets and sluices      All red cloths b)   All other mop heads may be washed together: i.e.          Green mop heads from bathrooms and laundries          Blue mop heads from general areas          Yellow mop heads from kitchens          and Blue and Green cloths. c)   Yellow cloths from the kitchen and tea-towels should be washed      together.   There must be bins with lids provided to sort and store used mops before washing. Ideally these bins should be colour coded. The minimum standard is 3 bins to store mops and cloths as above. DIFFERENT METHODS OF WASHING MOP HEADS AND CLOTHS: a)In a domestic washing machine which has been specifically designated for the laundering of the mop heads. i)     Put mop heads and cloths in a laundry bag. ii)    Put a small amount of washing powder (approx. 1 oz or 25 gms) in the        machine. iii)   Wash items on the hottest wash cycle. iv)    Dry mop heads and cloths in the appropriate drier. The machine must not be used to launder any other type of laundry.   b)  In commercial machines - this is only appropriate where there     are sufficient mop heads and cloths to be laundered.     i)   Put mop heads and cloths in a laundry bag. ii) If the machine has liquid dosing, switch this off and use only a     small amount of soap powder (as above). iii) Wash mop heads and cloths on the 'Hospital' wash cycle (Polycotton 65°C.) iv)  Mop heads and cloths can be dried in the 'tumble drier' on the cool      setting. c)   By hand - where there are insufficient mop heads to make a machine wash      economic. Items can be soaked in a solution of washing powder and      then washed out by hand, rinsed thoroughly and line dried.  It is advisable to wash all mop heads once a week in the machine to help to retain their colour, but do remember:       All mop heads and red cloths used with approved disinfectant should       be washed together in a separate load.       Use the 'Hospital' wash cycle on commercial machines.                            (POLYCOTTON 65°C OR 71°C.)                        THE CARE OF POLYCOTTON IN THE LAUNDRY * Polyester/cotton materials require different handling to cotton items.   Polyester/cotton It is in some ways stronger but in other ways more   sensitive to how it is handled. * Polyester/cotton materials include 'polycotton' which is an easy care   material with a mixture of polyester and cotton in different percentages   e.g. 50:50, 60:40, 70:30. In the following the term polycotton will be   used. * Polycotton is devised to combine the advantages of each. * Polycotton is man made, very strong, has a memory (heat can change the   memory). * Cotton is natural, porous, soft, absorbent, comfortable but   wrinkles easily. THERMAL SHOCK  If polycotton is subjected to a sudden change in temperature e.g. from very hot to cold and vice versa, the straight fibres of the manmade fibre are distorted and so are no longer straight. The fabric therefore becomes creased. The creasing and damage caused by thermal shock is permanent. SORTING a)   Separate out polycotton from cotton as polycotton is attracted to lint       and will become fluffy. b)   Separate heavy soiled and normal soiled if possible to stop soiling      redepositing on items. c)   Separate colours: Light and dark. Polycotton will absorb some colours.     WASH a)   Do not overload machine.  i)  If the load cannot turn easily creasing will occur. ii) Overloading will mean that detergent cannot work in correct      concentration. iii) Items will not be cleaned efficiently. NB  If creasing occurs because of overloading, items will need to be rewashed. b)  Wash polycotton on the 'Polycotton' setting only. N.B Rewashing will not help in such cases, the creasing caused by thermal     shock is permanent.   SPIN DRY Never use a separate hydro-extractor or spin drier for polycotton. TUMBLE DRYING a) Do not overload b) Do not mix loads c) Set the temperature for polycotton. d) Set the time/cool down. Polycotton needs approximately 30 minutes drying    with minutes cool down. e) Do not remove items before cool down occurs or 'thermal shock' and creasing    will occur. f) When tumble drier has finished unload immediately. Fold or drape items to prevent creasing. g) If items are left in tumble drier creasing will occur. These items may need to be rewashed to remove creasing or tumble dried on no heat to allow creasing to drop out. h) Items left in tumble drier are a potential fire hazard. IRONING Polycotton items must not be ironed or thermal shock will occur. When items have a thermal shock the only way to remove creasing temporarily is to iron. Therefore, once item has been ironed it will always need ironing. If you have any item that has been mistreated in the past and now have to be ironed ensure that when new bedding is bought it is not mixed up with the damaged e.g. for bedding or tableware buy a different colour or design If polycotton is looked after correctly it is a very easy to care for fabric    CHECKLIST FOR THE CARE AND HANDLING OF LINEN This checklist must be photocopied and completed at least once a year or more frequently as necessary e.g. induction of new staff or introduction of systems.It should be completed by the the officer with responsibility for the laundry and the relevant staff.

As a rough   guide a hand span space between the top of the clothes and the top of the   drum is the ideal. * If there is not sufficient washing to make up a full load and it cannot be   left, use old clean linen e.g. old sheets to make up the load. The sheets   should be kept for this purpose. *  Underloading will:    a) Damage the machine    b) Cause oversoaping when liquid dosing is used.    c) Be less cost effective particularly if liquid dosing of detergents       is in use. N.B. The WE 55 model has a microchip which weighs the laundry and calculates the water level, drum balance. This means that the machine can be used under loaded.           liquid dosing is dispensed automatically into machine.           See section on washing detergents. Appendix 9 & 10           DETERGENT: *  Follow the dosage recommended on the packet. *  The correct dose for the machine will depend on the water and the amount   of soiling and the best guide is trial and error. *  It is important not to under or to over soap. *  When the machine stops during wash cycle, soap suds should be only   one-third of way up the glass. *  Undersoaping will give poor results and possible rewashing over soaping   will be uneconomic and may result in laundry being incompletely rinsed.   This can cause skin irritation.  ROUTINE CLEANING:  Daily  1.    i) Put 5 litres (1 gallon) of hot water into a bucket.       ii) Add 5 mls (1 teaspoon) of neutral detergent or professional Flash           powder as per the directions on the packet..      iii) Using a green cloth, clean the washing machine to remove splashes           paying particular attention to glass door, door seals etc.  2.   Clean the detergent hopper using a bottle brush. Weekly Once a week the machine should be run empty on the hottest wash possible. Do not add soap. This will clear the pipes and drains of surplus detergent.   The operation manual for Electrolux washing machines can be found in Appendix 12                          USE AND CARE OF HYDRO-EXTRACTORS                                  (SPIN-DRYERS)      The basic rules for hydro-extractors apply also to domestic spin dryers.      It is very important that manufacturers instructions are followed. LOADING: i.  Load evenly, distribute articles around outside of drum. Do not     overload. ii. Place a towel over the top of the clothes to prevent garments from    moving up the drum and into the outer casing. ROUTINE FOR CLEANING i.  Wipe over daily using a green cloth and hot soapy water. ii. Once per week put half a bucket of plain water through the machine to     keep it sweet smelling. iii The lid must be left ajar when machine is turned off.   N.B. Never try to open the lid or remove items while the drum is still turning. Never use the machine if the guard in not working.                        THE USE AND CARE OF TUMBLE DRYERS LOADING Operation: i)  Set the time and temperature appropriate for the type of laundry. ii) Do not stop tumble dryer in mid cycle. Allow cycle to be completed.     care of polycotton).  (iii) Articles must be removed from the machine at the end of each cycle.        Failure to do this may result in a FIRE. It will also lead to creasing        of clothes.  (iv)  Articles removed from the drier at the end of the cycle should be        draped over tables or racks until folding and finishing can be carried        out.  Leaving articles in a basket can: *     cause a fire by spontaneous combustion, especially if articles in       centre are hot and moist. *     cause creasing.  (v ) NEVER place articles around or on the top of the dryer to dry. This is a       fire hazard.   ROUTINE FOR CLEANING When cleaning filters wear a face mask to protect from dust.  DAILY: * Clean filters using a soft brush at least once daily. * Wipe drier top, sides, door and glass daily using a neutral detergent   solution and a green cloth. WEEKLY: *  Using a tub vacuum cleaner remove lint from behind filter    screen, put vacuum hose into drum to remove loose lint.

Replacement   covers are available from Diversey Lever representative * To put cover back on, it is best left damp. * The sole plate should be cleaned regularly at least once per week using a   conditioning blanket. The conditioning blanket and wax may be purchased   via Diversey Lever . The Diversey Lever representative will be happy to   show staff how to use it. * After cleaning run an old sheet through the ironer to remove any surplus wax   before using. REMEMBER:  A dirty sole plate will result in ironer not working properly and will give poor results.  Operation Manual for Electrolux rotary ironers can be found in Appendix 14                          THE USE AND CARE OF HAND IRONS Hand Iron *Read the manufacturers instructions for care of hand irons. *  Read the care label on items before ironing. *  Set the iron for the type of fabric. *  Remember irons take a long time to cool down.

Flame retardant polyester filled pillows are available direct from County Supplies Flame retardant duvets may be purchased via County Supplies See Social Services Department procedure 33/93 N.B. All duvets purchased by Social Services are fully washable. However, there is not available on the market at present a 'heavy duty' duvet and for this reason washing of duvets should be kept to the minimum by making use where possible of water retardant protective covers: pillows may also be protected in a similar way to prevent over-washing (see also washing/cleaning below). For information on water retardant duvet and pillow protectors . ( See Appendix 4 ) STORAGE *  When not in use, store in a dry cool place, free from odours. *  Avoid excessive compression of the quilt in a folded position for periods   `exceeding one month.   WASHING AND CLEANING *  The use of an outer cover will minimise washing. The washability feature    of the duvet enables the easy removal of soiling and spillage, but does not    cover repeated or multiple washing. It is, therefore, recommended that    duvets are not used in a situation where there is a high degree of    incontinence, without some form of water retardant cover. *  Dry cleaning is not recommended under any circumstances. *  Soap powders of a synthetic variety only can be used, thereby protecting    the flame retardancy of the duvet. These are supplied by    County Supplies i.e. Industrial Ariel or Staphro powders or liquid dosing    wash products. *  Single duvets can be washed in machines which have a capacity of 6.5 kg    (11 lbs) or more. *   The "setting" for each machine should be as follows:- i)  Minimum wash programme, without addition of bleach. ii) Temperature - minimum 40°C up to maximum thermal disinfection programme of     71°C (where possible these items must be washed on hospital programme     setting). iii) Drying - tumble dry at not higher than 40°C for shortest      time possible.  iv) Hand washing is not recommended.  v)  Do not dry over the top of tumble dryers.      This is a fire hazard.                         THE LAUNDERING AND CARE OF CURTAINS PURCHASING OF NEW CURTAINS The budget for the purchase of all sort furnishing including curtains is now held centrally (as at 1/4/98). Therefore any purchase must be made via the Property Service Officer for the establishments. Any manager who has resident, relative who wish to purchase soft furnishings such as curtains and bedspreads for bedrooms must refer to their Property Service Officer for authorised suppliers and samples. See Social Services Department Procedure 33/34 (Appendix 2). The following has been extracted from the above document. "2.2  All curtains, including net curtains, blnds must meet the current fire retardancy standards, i.e. B.S. 5857 Part 2 Source 5 or FR7. There are, in fact, relatively few outlets which stock fabrics to these standards though a large number will buy in to order, made, or for making up. 4.4  In some cases, residents' relatives have purchased curtains and provided flame retardancy sprays with which to 'coat' the curtain. The only flame retardancy method which can be guaranteed is complete immersion of the fabric.  Furthermore where materials have been sprayed, they will have to be treated after every wash.  The use of sprays is not therefore recommended."   All curtains for Social Services establishments must be fire retardant. The material used must be inherently fire retardant and not ordinary material sprayed with a flame retardant spray.   THE LAUNDERING OF CURTAINS The periodic vacuuming of curtains can reduce the need for laundering in some cases Different methods of flame retardancy require different washing methods. It is advisable to ensure that the washing instructions are available when purchasing new curtains. Many firms sew instructions into curtain linings or headings . Although requiring different methods of washing some general rules do apply:- *  All curtains with sewn in lining should be dry cleaned only. This will   incorporate retreatment for flame retardancy. * Flame retardant curtains without a lining or with detachable lining may be   washed without destroying the fire retardant properties provided that: Only synthetic washing powder e.g Industrial Ariel, Staphro and liquid dosing products are used. (soap e.g Lux or Persil will cause soap deposits on fabric and adversely affect the flame retardant properties. Bleach is not to be added to wash/rinse. * Temperatures up to 71°C only may be used, this will depend on the type of   fabric (read the wash care label). *  Curtains must be of a manageable size for washing and ironing. * A commercial steam cleaner fitted with tools may be used to clean and   disinfect curtains in situ. (this method can not be used on curtains with a   pile such as velvet.) For further details contact the supplier of the   equipment for training. *  Heavy stained curtains may be soaked for up to 2 hours at room temperature   in an enzymatic detergent e.g Industrial Ariel.                    *    Do not overload washing machine.                    *    Do not use fabric conditioner/softener /sanisoft as                         this can affect fire retardant properties.                    *    Do not over dry items as this can cause static. FREQUENCY Generally, curtains need washing/cleaning every year except in areas where there are strong odours when more frequent cleaning will probably be necessary.   THE WASHING AND CARE OF REUSABLE BED PADS e.g. Martex * It is recommended that there is a minimum of 2 pads per bed. If there are   insufficient pads the non stop processing will result in a reduced   life span. The average lifespan of reusable pads is up to 200 times   without deterioration of absorbency. * Wash before first use for optimum absorbency. * Fabric conditioner including Sanisoft must not be used with bed pads as this   retards absorbency. * Reusable bed pads must be washed on a hospital programme if the facility is   available.   1. The pads can be washed up to 77°C.      Therefore the pads can be washed at                                     either      A 65°C. hospital programme, polycotton setting      or if possible A 71°C hospital programme (Cotton Setting )      The wash time for the 71°C is approximately the same as the 65°C      setting, but it produces a better spin. This will reduce the      drying time.           If the washing machine does not have a 71°C setting, then wash at           65°C hospital programme. When the cycle is finished, leave in           machine. Set machine to 93°C hospital programme and fast           forward to final rinse and spin. This will leave the bed pads           drier and reduce the drying time.  2.  Tumble dry the pads at 82°C for 30 minutes.  3. Do not overload the dryer, give pad sufficient space and air to dry.  4. Do not use the hottest setting on the tumble drier.  5. Do not dry above 88°C.  6. Do not mangle, iron or dry on radiator. CHECKLIST FOR THE LAUNDERING AND CARE OF SOFT FURNISHINGS This checklist must be photocopied and completed at least once a year or more frequently as necessary e.g. new soft furnishing being purchased.It should be completed by the the officer with responsibility for the laundry and the relevant staff.
