Medical Linen Service

OSHA-Compliant Medical Linen Service - Redmond, Bellevue, Kirkland & the Seattle Eastside

Trusted by healthcare facilities for over 40 years. Medical practices need clean, sanitized linens every day — and managing that laundry in-house is a compliance headache, a space problem, and a drain on staff time. National medical linen rental companies solve one problem but create others: multi-year contracts, inflexible delivery schedules, and costs that climb every year. Overlake Laundromat offers a better path: OSHA-compliant medical linen laundering with free pickup and delivery, no contracts, and the flexibility to scale with your practice.

Medical Linens We Process

We handle all standard medical and healthcare textiles with appropriate sanitization protocols:

• Patient Gowns: Standard hospital gowns, exam gowns, and specialty gowns laundered with high-temperature sanitization and returned neatly folded
• Bed Sheets: Flat sheets, fitted sheets, and draw sheets for exam tables, treatment beds, and recovery areas
• Pillow Cases: Standard and specialty pillow cases for patient comfort, sanitized and packaged
• Blankets: Patient blankets, thermal blankets, and warming blankets cleaned with infection-control protocols
• Bath Towels: Full-size bath towels for patient care areas and staff facilities
• Hand Towels & Washcloths: High-volume hand towels and washcloths for exam rooms and patient care
• Surgical Drapes: Reusable surgical drapes and procedure drapes for outpatient surgery centers
• Lab Coats: White lab coats and physician coats laundered with stain treatment and professional pressing
• Scrubs: Medical scrubs for physicians, nurses, and clinical staff — washed at sanitization temperatures and returned ready to wear
• Privacy Curtains: Exam room and treatment area privacy curtains cleaned on a regular rotation schedule

Sanitization Standards & Infection Control

Your patients' safety is our top priority. Medical linens require a higher standard of cleaning than general commercial laundry. Our sanitization process meets OSHA requirements and follows CDC guidelines for healthcare textile processing:

• High-Temperature Washing: All medical linens are washed at 160 degrees Fahrenheit or above, the minimum temperature recommended by the CDC for healthcare textile sanitization
• EPA-Registered Disinfectants: We use EPA-registered antimicrobial agents in addition to professional-grade detergents for thorough decontamination
• Separate Processing: Medical linens are processed separately from general commercial laundry to prevent cross-contamination
• Protective Packaging: All sanitized linens are packaged in clean, protective wrapping immediately after processing to maintain hygiene during transport and storage
• Chain-of-Custody Tracking: We maintain pickup and delivery records so your facility can document linen processing for compliance audits
• Regular Equipment Sanitization: Our commercial washing equipment is regularly sanitized and maintained to healthcare processing standards

Medical Linen Service vs. Linen Rental

Frequently Asked Questions About Medical Linen Service

What sanitization protocols do you follow for medical linens?

We follow OSHA-compliant sanitization protocols including high-temperature washing at 160 degrees Fahrenheit or above, EPA-registered disinfectant treatments, and separate processing of medical textiles. All linens are packaged in protective wrapping after processing to maintain sterility during transport.

Do you handle HIPAA-related concerns with medical laundry?

We do not process items containing patient records or identifying information — only textiles such as gowns, sheets, and towels. We maintain strict chain-of-custody procedures and all drivers and staff follow confidentiality protocols appropriate for healthcare environments.

Medical linen service is priced by weight with volume discounts for recurring accounts.
