Your First Step to Smarter Linen Management
At Ten Texpros, we believe quality linens are the foundation of exceptional care in hospitals and unforgettable comfort in hotels. But even the best fabrics underperform without proper handling. In this inaugural post, we share three universal principles every facility should implement—whether you’re a rural clinic or a luxury resort.
1. The Hygiene-Lifecycle Balance
Why it matters: Every wash cycle impacts both cleanliness and fabric longevity.
Best Practice:
- Healthcare: Wash medical linens at ≥70°C for infection control, but use pH-neutral detergents to preserve fibers.
- Hospitality: Rotate between 3 sets of bed linens to allow fibers to “recover” between uses.
Our Role: We provide WHO-compliant care labels with every order and offer free staff training on optimal washing techniques.
2. Smart Inventory Systems
The problem: 43% of African hospitals report linen shortages due to poor tracking (Linen Day Africa, 2025).
Simple Solution:
- Color-code linens by department (e.g., blue for pediatrics, green for surgery)
- Implement barcode scanning for high-volume facilities (we include RFID tags on request)
How We Help: Our Linen Bank Program offers emergency reserves for unexpected shortages.
3. Right Fabric, Right Purpose
Common mistake: Using hotel-grade cotton for hospital isolation wards.
Quick Guide:
Need | Our Recommended Fabric |
---|---|
Surgical drapes | Fluid-repellent polypropylene |
Luxury hotel sheets | Long-staple Egyptian cotton |
Spa towels | Bamboo-viscose blends (quick-dry) |
