Most infection control practitioners do not trust their hospital's laundering system, according to an article on the Becker's Cleaning Leadership & Infection Control website.
Seventy-two percent say they would not wipe their drinking glass with a freshly laundered hospital mopping pad or wipe, according to a recent survey.
The poll found 42 percent have seen trash, debris or hair in freshly cleaned fabrics.
A recent study found half of laundered mops and wipes still contain living bacteria levels exceeding national standards.
