We can provide a cleanroom facility for
garments that are used in industries in the high care
sector (e.g. food production, health care, medical, pharmaceutical
and electronics engineering).
The cleanroom provides an enclosed, hygienically
clean area that is fed with filtered air, where garments
can be cleaned and processed in a controlled environment
away from other garments, which may potentially introduce
contaminants.
The cleanroom is designed to process soiled
garments with two objectives:
Disinfect the garment
Remove the foreign body contamination
The cleanroom is operated so that garments
will also be protected from subsequent recontamination,
up to the time they are required to be used again by the
customer.
How does it work?
The sole purpose of the cleanroom
is to process the garments for companies who require
a hygienic service. No other workwear enters the
cleanroom at any time, thus reducing the chances
of contamination.
From the moment dirty garments arrive
in the laundry they are separated from other garments
that may cause contamination. The garments are received
and sorted ready for washing, they are stored in
specially marked closed trucks away from other garments,
to prevent any contaminants being transferred to
or from the workwear.
The garments are then loaded into
a washing machine from the soiled area, are washed
and then unloaded directly into the cleanroom where
the operators work in cleanroom workwear. The garments
are then loaded into a tumble drier. When dry, the
garments are inspected for holes or tears, pressed,
folded and placed in clean bags. The bagged items
are then stored in the cleanroom until they are
ready to dispatch back to the customer.
In order to ensure that the garments
are sterile they are washed at 87degrees centigrade,
which is a proven disinfectant.
We can source a full range of workwear
that your employees will need and the cleanroom
is designed to be able to process a wide range of
garments.

How do we ensure it works?
We have produce a hazard analysis
programme using Hazard Analysis Critical Control
Points (HACCP) which is a well used management based
technique to identify and control risks to the contamination
of garments, thus we can assure customers that workwear
is safe. The scheme allows us to identify areas
where contamination may occur and how to control
them. This has provided us with a working document
that is constantly updated and worked with to ensure
contamination is eliminated. The scheme is recognised
by the EU and provides customers with quality assurance
and enables the cleanroom manager to run the facility
to the highest standard.
