Lab Coat Program
Tailor-made to enhance image and help control infection
Superbugs like MRSA and CRE can live on lab coats for up to 56 days
In the real world, many lab coats aren’t cleaned for weeks—sometimes several months! That makes them a prime breeding ground for pathogens that can harm patients and have a long-term financial impact on your healthcare facility.
A recent internal study of cleaning records for customer-owned lab coats at two major U.S. hospitals identified how infrequently healthcare professionals turned in their garments for proper laundering:
Key survey takeaways:
- The most common cleaning frequency was once every 13 weeks.
- The median cleaning frequency was once every 23 weeks.
- The average cleaning frequency was once every 32 weeks.
- Some lab coats were laundered as little as once every 2 years.
