According to the CDC, approximately 1.7 million healthcare‑associated infections occur in U.S. hospitals each year. Healthcare textiles, such as bedsheets and gowns, can be exposed to microorganisms during use and laundering. Hospitals and healthcare facilities rely on defined laundry processes to disinfect linens in accordance with established hygiene requirements.
