Hygienically Clean certifies laundries by verifying their best management practices (BMPs) and quantifying their textile products’ cleanliness. Inspection of BMPs reveals their extensive support for medical facilities’ infection prevention initiatives, proving certified laundries give priority to bio-burden concerns in all processes.
