Overview of Laundries and Record Keeping

Unlock Audio Book

Signup and Enroll to the course for listening the Audio Book

The commercial establishments have a system of keeping record. When the article is received, it is checked and any damage or special care requirement is recorded. The customer is given an invoice for the kind and number of articles received and the date of delivery. System of code tags matching the invoice helps to identify the items of each customer or invoice.

Detailed Explanation

When a laundry service receives items to be cleaned, they implement a systematic approach to documentation. This begins with inspecting each item for any existing damages and noting specific care requirements that may be needed. An invoice is then issued to the customer, which details what items were received and provides a delivery date. Each item is tagged with a unique code that matches the invoice, allowing the laundry to easily track and manage each customer's items throughout the cleaning process.

Examples & Analogies

Think of it like checking into a hotel. When you check in, the hotel staff takes note of your room number, checks for any existing damages to furniture or amenities, and gives you a keycard that has a code unique to your stay. This way, if anything happens to the room, it can be tracked back to you, just like how laundries tag items with codes.

Laundries in Large Institutions

Large institutions that require a constant flow of clean linen, working-clothing or uniform, like hospitals, prisons and hotels, will usually have their own laundry departments. The organised collection, laundering and timely delivery of processed material is essential to the operation of the institution.

Detailed Explanation

In large institutions such as hospitals and hotels, maintaining hygiene and cleanliness is of utmost importance. These organizations typically maintain their own laundry services to ensure a constant supply of clean linens and uniforms. A dedicated laundry department within these institutions manages the collection of dirty items, their cleaning, and timely delivery of fresh materials back to respective departments. This system ensures that there is always a supply of clean bed sheets, uniforms, and other essentials readily available.

Examples & Analogies

Imagine a busy hospital where every room needs clean linens daily. If they relied on external laundry services, they might run out of sheets during a busy day. Having their own laundry department is like a restaurant having its own kitchen staff—they can control the quality and speed of service.

Laundry Process in Hospitals

The process of laundry functioning in hospitals:
1. Collection from Emergency, main OT, OPD, various specialised centres and wards
2. Transportation from linen bank or directly from hospital to laundry plant
3. Unloading dirty linen and sorting: Bed linen—clean, mildly soiled and very soiled; Patients’ dress; Doctors’ dress; Blankets
4. Washing is done in large washing machines which have a capacity of 100 kg per load.
5. Hydro-extraction — Hydro extractors work in centrifugal motion which gets rid of 60 –70% moisture.
6. Drying
7. Pressing, ironing, folding and stacking
8. Mending and segregation of condemned articles
9. Packing
10. Distribution

Detailed Explanation

The laundry process in hospitals involves several structured steps to manage the large volume of materials needing cleaning. It starts with collecting items from various areas within the hospital, like operating theatres and emergency rooms. Dirty linens are then transported to the laundry facility where they are unloaded and sorted based on their condition—clean, mildly soiled, or very soiled. Hospital laundries use heavy-duty washing machines to clean the items, followed by hydro-extractors to remove excess water. After washing, the items are dried, pressed, folded, and stacked, before mending any damaged pieces and preparing them for repacking and distribution back to departments.

Examples & Analogies

Think of this process like preparing a big meal for a family reunion. You gather all the ingredients, prepare and cook each dish, serve them on plates, and then clean up afterward—which involves washing and drying all the dishes before they can be put away. Each step needs careful management to ensure everything is ready on time.
