Aberdeen Laundry Services delivers healthcare laundry that meets the sector’s most demanding hygiene standards. Our processing is HTM 01-04 compliant — meeting the UK Department of Health’s guidance for decontamination of healthcare linen — giving you the infection control, traceability and audit-ready records your facility depends on, with BS EN 14065 accreditation in progress. As the UK’s first certified carbon neutral commercial laundry, we also help you meet the environmental and net zero commitments the NHS and wider sector now expect — every collection, every time.
Our Healthcare Laundry Services
A fully managed service covering every textile in your facility:
Sheets, duvet covers, pillowcases, blankets, towels and bath linen — supplied, processed and replenished to healthcare hygiene standards, available as rental or reprocessing of your own customer-owned goods.
A sustainable, cost-effective alternative to single-use — laundered, inspected and returned ready for use, reducing clinical waste without compromising protection.
Laundered and rotated on a managed schedule to maintain hygiene and dignity on wards and in treatment areas.
Reusable draping and wrapping textiles for instrument trays, laundered and inspected to healthcare standards and returned ready for sterilisation.
Full scrub-suit management — collection, laundering and delivery — keeping clinical teams hygienically presented and compliant.
Specialist processing for items requiring individual care.
Regularly refreshed matting to keep entrances safe, clean and presentable.
HTM 01-04 Compliant Healthcare Laundering
As specialists in healthcare textiles, our facilities process to HTM 01-04 standards — giving you documented assurance for CQC, Healthcare Improvement Scotland and internal audits. 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.
Advanced ozone technology further elevates disinfection, giving clinical teams and patients added peace of mind.
We are working towards BS EN 14065 accreditation, the microbiological quality management standard for laundered textiles, further strengthening our infection-control assurance.
The Case for Reusable Textiles
Switching from single-use to professionally laundered reusables cuts cost and waste without cutting standards:
Reusable gowns can be fully recycled at end of life, helping remove tonnes of single-use waste from the system.
A managed reusables programme reduces spend versus continual disposable purchasing.
A single reusable gown can be used many times over, delivering long-term value.
Our commercial processes use significantly less water per item than domestic washing.
