Boost infection control and efficiency in the laundry room

  • Hygiene
  • January 13, 2025
  • Olivia Nolan
  • Care sector expert

Laundry operations within a care home can be demanding and labour-intensive, often requiring significant effort with limited recognition. However, the smooth and efficient functioning of the laundry department is critical to the overall well-being and comfort of residents.

Join Olivia Nolan, Business Development Director for care, and JLA’s in-house chemist Lucy Cripwell as they discuss:

• Thermal disinfection
• Remote maintenance and monitoring
• Domestic vs commercial machines
• Ozone technology and much more.

Podcast hosted by Alan Rustad and kindly sponsored by Rotacloud.

Why is infection control important?

Infection control is arguably the most important thing to get right and stay on top of for care home across the UK.

It is critical to maximise the health and safety of residents, staff, visitors and contractors by reducing the risks of infections. It is also key to bear up to the scrutiny of CQC inspections – following best practice procedures. 

The podcast outlines the importance of constantly reviewing performance if you are to maximise the prevention and control of infections to keep care home residents out of harm’s way.

The focus on energy efficiency

With energy prices set to increase and care homes seeking to decarbonise, there is a continued focus on energy efficiency for managers and owners. In the podcast, we outline ways of improving efficiency and reducing bills whilst also maximising resident safety and comfort. 

Learn about how using commercial equipment and ozone technology can help to improve both energy efficiency and enhance infection control in care homes.

Why Domestic Machines Are Not Suitable for Care Homes: Critical Risks and Compliance Issues

  • 18th May 2026
While they may have less-intensive capacity requirements than, say, hospitals or healthcare facilities, even the smallest care homes have unique laundry processing requirements. That’s why you need a commercial laundry equipment that’s designed to meet these needs, not a domestic model that’s underpowered and ill-equipped.

Large Capacity Commercial Washing Machines

  • 12th May 2026
Large washing machines have a capacity of 20kg+, with some XL units capable of processing loads of up to 180kg. Of course, size isn’t everything, which is why you can expect the same levels of efficiency, durability and performance from these machines as you can from other JLA commercial laundry appliances.
