Angelica Corporation Encourages Preventing Staph/MRSA Infections with Sanitized Hospital Linens

NORCROSS, GA, October 30, 2012 (Press-News.org) Angelica Corporation knows that the greatest fear many people have going into the hospital is that they will come out worse than they went in. Once of the ways that happens is with the prevalence of staph and MRSA infections that get their start in hospitals.

One of the best ways to alleviate this common fear is via an appropriate healthcare linen service. Since most hospital patients will be spending a great deal of time in bed, hospital linen services that offer sanitizing of sheets, blankets and pillow cases can both destroy that fear and help prevent the spread of these insidious illnesses.

While most hospital laundry services will clean the linens, the key to eliminating MRSA and staff infections is stepping up the sterilizing process to make sure that the germs that cause the infections are removed. That means using special cleaning agents and cleaning techniques developed in conjunction with hospitals to verify that the linens are not a source of infection.

Rather than searching your hospital again and again for the source of these skin infections, be proactive and eliminate one potential source by choosing a medical laundry service that guarantees to sanitize your linens. Sanitizing everything else in the hospital is standard practice; why not add your linens to that list?

Aly Merritt, Marketing Manager at Angelica Corporation, said the company works very hard to make sure that it is eliminating the threat to patients. "We all know that MRSA and staph can be resistant to many things, including antibiotics, so Angelica Corporation worked with our partners, such as Ecolab, to develop sanitization solutions that get around those problems. After all, we want our loved ones safe when they visit the hospital, too."
