According to the CDC, 1.7 million HAIs occur in U.S. hospitals every year. Linens — like bedsheets and hospital gowns — can harbor pathogens that can infect vulnerable patients. Hospitals and healthcare facilities rely on their commercial laundry partners to properly disinfect linen laundry, to help reduce the risk of HAIs.
AdvaCare laundry disinfectant for healthcare is EPA-registered (EPA Reg. No.1677-193) and has been proven to kill eleven microorganisms on healthcare linen, including C. difficile**, the number one U.S. healthcare-associated infectious microorganism.
AdvaCare Disinfectant has demonstrated effectiveness against Clostridioides difficile, a spore-forming organism, on laundered fabric [linen]. Spores are the most difficult form of microorganism to kill according to the hierarchy of microorganisms and their resistance to disinfectants. Therefore, AdvaCare Disinfectant can be used against SARS-CoV-2 when used in accordance with the directions for use against Clostridioides difficile when added as a disinfecting agent at a rate of 5 fluid ounces per 100 pounds of dry laundry at 160°F and laundry is treated for a minimum of 6 minutes.
