Premier Laundromat with Pickup & DeliveryPremier Healthcare Laundry Service - Redmond, Bellevue, Kirkland & Bothell WA
Serving healthcare facilities for over 40 years. Cleanliness is the most critical element for healthcare and medical clinics to promote sanitation and prevent infection spread. Healthcare facilities generate substantial amounts of dirty laundry - from scrubs and lab coats to bed linens, blankets, medical towels, and gowns. Overlake Laundromat specializes in OSHA-compliant healthcare laundry services, ensuring you NEVER run out of clean supplies while you focus on exceptional patient care. We provide professional healthcare laundry with FREE pickup and delivery throughout the Seattle eastside, plus comprehensive medical linen services for complete healthcare facility support.
Important Regulatory Note: Did you know it's against OSHA regulations for most healthcare providers to launder contaminated items on-site without proper commercial-grade equipment and protocols? Our specialized facility ensures full regulatory compliance, protecting your practice from potential violations.
Medical Garments & Linens We Process
Our healthcare laundry service handles every textile your medical facility uses — from daily staff scrubs to specialized surgical linens. Each item category follows its own cleaning protocol optimized for the fabric type, contamination level, and your facility's requirements.
Scrub Cleaning Service
We process thousands of medical scrubs weekly for Eastside healthcare facilities. Scrubs are sorted by color to prevent dye transfer, washed at 160°F+ with antimicrobial detergents, and returned folded by size. We handle all scrub types — ceil blue, navy, hunter green, burgundy, black, and printed patterns. Scrubs contaminated with bodily fluids are processed in isolated biohazard loads with EPA-registered disinfectants.
- Color-sorted to prevent cross-contamination
- High-temperature wash cycle (160°F+)
- Folded and packaged by size for easy dispensing
- Stain pre-treatment for blood, betadine, and surgical prep
Lab Coat & Physician Coat Service
White lab coats and physician coats require specialized brightening treatment to maintain their professional appearance. We use optical brighteners and commercial-grade bleach alternatives that remove stains without degrading the fabric. Coats can be returned on hangers or folded — your choice.
- Optical brightening for whites
- Stain removal for ink, chemical, and biological marks
- Returned on hangers or folded per your preference
- Name embroidery preserved with gentle processing
Patient Gown Processing
Patient gowns require the highest sanitization standards since they directly contact vulnerable patients. Every gown is processed in hot-water cycles with hospital-grade disinfectants, inspected for tears or missing ties, and packaged individually in sealed bags to maintain sterility until use.
- Hospital-grade disinfection (160°F+ wash)
- Individual inspection for damage and missing closures
- Sealed protective packaging for sterility
- Isolation gowns and barrier gowns processed separately
Surgical Linen & Drape Service
Surgical drapes, gowns, and operating room linens demand the strictest contamination protocols. These items are processed in dedicated loads separate from general facility laundry, using EPA-registered antimicrobial treatments. Every piece is individually inspected and wrapped for sterile storage.
- Dedicated processing separate from general linens
- EPA-registered antimicrobial treatment
- Individual wrapping for sterile storage
- Full traceability documentation per load
Additional Healthcare Textiles We Handle
- Bed Linens: Fitted sheets, flat sheets, pillow cases, and mattress pads — all processed at sanitization temperatures

Frequently Asked Questions About Healthcare Laundry Service
What makes healthcare laundry different from regular commercial laundry?
Healthcare laundry requires OSHA-compliant sanitization protocols, separate processing for contaminated items, hospital-grade disinfectants, and sterile packaging.

Every load is documented for compliance auditing.
What types of medical garments and linens do you process?
We process all healthcare textiles: medical scrubs (all colors and sizes), lab coats, physician coats, patient gowns, surgical gowns, surgical drapes, bed sheets, pillow cases, thermal blankets, bath towels, hand towels, washcloths, privacy curtains, barrier gowns, isolation gowns, and specialty items like dental bibs and chiropractic table covers.

How do you handle contaminated or biohazard medical linens?
Contaminated healthcare items are bagged separately at pickup using color-coded biohazard bags. At our facility, they are processed in isolated loads using commercial-grade equipment with hospital-grade sanitizing treatments at 160°F+. We follow OSHA Bloodborne Pathogens Standard (29 CFR 1910.1030) protocols and provide documentation for your compliance records.
How much does healthcare laundry service cost for Eastside medical facilities?
Healthcare laundry pricing is based on volume and specific processing requirements. Scrubs and lab coats start at competitive per-pound rates with volume discounts for recurring accounts. No long-term contracts required. Billing is simple — easy monthly invoicing with one invoice and one payment. We accept corporate accounts, ACH transfers, and credit cards. Contact us at (425) 881-0303 for a custom quote tailored to your facility's needs.
Can you match our specific folding and packaging requirements?
Absolutely. Every healthcare account gets a custom processing protocol sheet. We can fold scrubs by size and color, package lab coats on hangers, stack linens to your shelf dimensions, and deliver in sealed protective bags. Surgical linens can be individually wrapped. Custom sorting, packaging, and delivery preferences are all tailored to your facility's workflow — we adapt to you, not the other way around.
Healthcare Laundry vs Medical Linen Service — When to Use Which
We offer two distinct services for medical facilities, and choosing the right one depends on what your facility needs cleaned. Here is a clear breakdown:
Healthcare Laundry Service (This Page)
Focus: Staff garments and clinical apparel
This service is designed for the clothing and protective garments your staff wear every day. If your primary need is keeping your team in clean, sanitized work attire, this is the right service.
- Medical scrubs (all colors, sorted by size)
- Lab coats and physician coats
- Patient gowns and exam gowns
- Surgical gowns and barrier gowns
- Isolation gowns
- Surgical drapes and sterile wraps
- Dental bibs and procedure covers
Best for: Hospitals, surgical centers, dental offices, urgent care facilities, and any practice where staff garment volume is the primary laundry challenge.
Medical Linen Service
Focus: Facility linens and patient comfort items
Our medical linen service handles the sheets, towels, blankets, and fabric items that furnish your treatment rooms and patient areas. If your primary need is keeping exam tables, beds, and patient areas stocked with clean linens, start here.
- Bed sheets (fitted, flat, draw sheets)
- Pillow cases
- Patient blankets and thermal blankets
- Bath towels, hand towels, and washcloths
- Privacy curtains
- Chiropractic and PT table covers
- Face cradle covers and bolster covers
Best for: Physical therapy clinics, chiropractic offices, dermatology practices, outpatient clinics, and facilities where linen volume exceeds garment volume.
Many facilities need both services. A dental office, for example, may need scrub cleaning (healthcare laundry) plus patient bibs and towel service (medical linen). A surgical center needs surgical gown processing (healthcare laundry) and bed sheets and blankets for recovery areas (medical linen). We can bundle both services into a single pickup and delivery schedule with one monthly invoice — contact us at (425) 881-0303 to set up a combined account.
Key difference in processing: Healthcare garments like scrubs and surgical gowns are sorted by color, treated for specific stains (betadine, blood, ink), and returned folded by size for easy dispensing to staff. Medical linens like sheets and towels are processed for maximum sanitization and returned in sealed packaging organized by item type for restocking shelves and treatment rooms. Different workflows, same OSHA-compliant standards.
