Aberdeen Laundry Services works with care homes across Scotland to deliver consistent, compliant and compassionate laundry services. Our HTM 01-04 compliant processing, individual resident garment tracking, and carbon neutral certified operations mean your residents are cared for, your home stays inspection-ready, and your environmental responsibilities are met — every collection, every time.
Our Care Home Laundry Services
We provide a fully managed service that takes the burden off your team, covering every textile in your home:
Duvet covers, sheets, pillowcases, duvets, pillows, blankets, mattress protectors and towels — available as a rental and reprocessing service or for your own customer-owned goods, processed to healthcare hygiene standards and returned crisp, fresh and ready for use.
A dedicated individual service that keeps every resident’s own clothing traceable from collection to return — with full garment tracking that means personal items are never lost or mixed up. Click to read more.
Complete uniform management — collection, laundering and delivery — keeping your team professionally presented and your uniforms hygienically maintained.
Entrance mats, corridor runners and kitchen mats to keep your home safe, clean and welcoming, refreshed on a regular schedule.
HTM 01-04 Compliant Healthcare Laundering
As specialists in healthcare textiles, our facilities operate to HTM 01-04 standards — the UK Department of Health’s guidance for processing healthcare linen — giving you audit-ready records for Care Inspectorate and CQC inspections. That means:
Validated thermal disinfection (71°C for at least 11 minutes) and chemical disinfection processes that eliminate harmful bacteria and viruses, protecting vulnerable residents.
Continuous monitoring of wash temperatures, chemical concentrations and cycle times.
Strict separation of clean and soiled textiles throughout the process, including water-soluble red-bag handling for infectious linen.
Documented audit trails supporting regulatory compliance and quality assurance.
A dedicated healthcare team trained to maintain consistent infection-control standards.
Individual Resident Garment Tracking
Lost and mixed-up clothing is one of the most common causes of complaint in care — and one of the easiest to solve. Our personal clothing service is built around individual traceability from start to finish:
Every resident is provided with their own dedicated mesh bag, with separate bags available for delicate garments.
Each bag is labelled with the resident’s name and a unique QR code.
Bags are collected and scanned on arrival at our facilities, then tracked through washing, drying and finishing before being wrapped and returned.
Because every item is linked to an individual resident throughout the process, clothing is fully traceable end to end — leaving less room for error and delivering a smoother, more efficient service.
The result: personal items returned to the right resident, cared for with the dignity and respect they deserve.
Carbon Neutral – Sustainability You Can Put Your Name To
Aberdeen Laundry Services is the UK’s first certified carbon neutral commercial laundry, independently certified to ISO 14064-1 and ISO 14068-1. Partnering with us adds a credible, verified sustainability credential to your supply chain — supporting your own net zero goals, ESG reporting, and the environmental questions increasingly raised at inspection. It’s not a marketing claim, it’s certified.
