3.10.5 Service Users personal clothing
All facilities should have a process in place for managing service users personal clothing.
If industrial style laundering is not availabl, a domestic-type laundry facility may be suitable for
those laundering personal clothing, e.g. adults in rehabilitation facilities. If using a domestic-type
washing machine to launder service users personal items:
• Use a suitable detergent
• Use the highest temperature setting tolerated by the fabric (see care label), for example wash
delicate items at a lower temperature.
• Avoid mixing items from multiple persons in a single load
• Service users clothing should be identifiable to avoid items being mixed up
