Doing Laundry Safely During COVID-19

The threat of coronavirus isn’t likely to go away any time soon. In fact, public health experts have been warning the public to expect a second wave. It’s important to remain vigilant about protecting yourself and others. Part of that must include following laundry safety protocols.

Laundry Safety Tips During COVID-19

In addition to selecting a laundry service with care, there are a few things you can do to protect yourself and others. Social distancing is essential and so is wearing a mask.

We will Launder your clothes on the warmest setting possible (unless you request a different temperature) and dry them completely. It’s a good idea to use a plastic bag as a hamper so that you can throw the bag away or a fabric bag so that it could get washed with your clothes. If someone in your household is sick, follow these CDC-approved guidelines for handling their clothes and linens:

• Wear disposable gloves before handling dirty laundry.
• Never shake dirty clothes or linens.
• It is safe to launder potentially infected clothes with the laundry of non-infected household members.
• Remove and dispose of gloves and wash your hands immediately after handling dirty laundry.

In addition, if you’re using a drop-off and pick-up service for your laundry, you can protect the laundromat workers by bagging your dirty laundry and setting it aside for two days before sending it out for cleaning. Likewise, when you receive a load of clean laundry, set it aside for a couple of days before putting it away.
