A room can look clean and still harbor harmful microorganisms. A recent Infection Control Today article explains why visual cleanliness doesn't always mean a hygienically clean environment. Effective infection prevention starts with the right products, consistent cleaning protocols, and attention to high-touch surfaces.

HCSC's microfiber mops and cloths help healthcare facilities support effective environmental services teams.

A visibly clean health care environment does not always mean it is infection safe. Workflow, communication, equipment handling, and operational consistency often determine contamination risk.

A big thank you to Jack Morgan, Senior Editor of Textile Services magazine, for recently visiting our Asbury Park Plant to learn more about our operations. During his visit, Jack met with Eric Yeakel, Senior Vice President; Eric Stas, Vice President of Operations; and Carlos Mendez, General Manager, to discuss the facility's history and the retooling that took place several years ago.

We're incredibly proud of the dedication demonstrated at our Asbury Park Plant, and across all HCSC Linen Services facilities, and we can’t wait to see Jack's feature in an upcoming 2027 edition of Textile Services magazine!

Many healthcare textiles require specialized processing to support patient care and help meet healthcare standards. Here are just a few examples:

✔ Surgical towels
✔ Patient gowns
✔ Sleep lab linens
✔ Hyperbaric chamber textiles
✔ Privacy curtains

Each item has unique handling, processing, and inventory requirements. Behind every clean textile is a process designed to help healthcare facilities operate efficiently and safely. Learn more about HCSC's healthcare textile programs: https://hcsc.org/programs/

Hyperbaric oxygen therapy programs have enough to manage without worrying about textile inventory. Because hyperbaric chambers require 100% cotton textiles, having the right inventory on hand is essential for both safety and smooth daily operations. A reliable textile management program can help reduce shortages, simplify workflows, and give staff more time to focus on patient care.

Healthcare-associated infections (HAIs) affect about 1 in 31 hospital patients on any given day in the U.S. While no single solution prevents every infection, proper environmental cleaning, hygienically processed textiles, and standardized linen programs all play an important role in supporting a safer care environment.

TRUE OR FALSE?
Hospital privacy curtains can become contaminated with bacteria within one week of being installed.

✅ True.

A study published in the American Journal of Infection Control found that 92% of hospital privacy curtains had acquired bacterial contamination within one week of installation. Because privacy curtains are among the most frequently touched surfaces in patient rooms, routine exchange and laundering play an important role in supporting infection prevention.
