Healthcare Laundry Accreditation Council - HLAC

10/20/2026

Don’t settle for just asking, “Does the linen look clean?” 🤔

Remember, appearance isn’t everything! It’s crucial to understand how your healthcare textiles are processed. Make sure to ask your laundry partner about their monitoring processes, how they keep soiled and clean textiles separate, and what measures they take to protect linen after washing. 🧺

Look for HLAC accreditation as it provides a standards-based framework to assess these important practices. Make sure to include accreditation on your laundry selection checklist! ✅

Your infection prevention program has a laundry partner. Choose wisely! 🏥

Remember, your hospital's infection prevention efforts go beyond just its walls. The laundry that processes your reusable healthcare textiles plays a crucial role in keeping things hygienic. This Infection Prevention Week, take a moment to ask: Is our laundry HLAC-accredited?

Let's bust a myth: choosing an HLAC-accredited laundry doesn't cost more, cutting corners does.

Reprocessing. Contamination risk. Compliance gaps. These are the real costs that show up when quality is skipped. HLAC accreditation means independently verified standards for infection prevention and consistency, built to protect against exactly these risks.

Patients rarely see the systems that protect them. They do experience the results: safe environments, confident caregivers, and healthcare textiles that have been processed under standards designed to support infection prevention. HLAC accreditation exists to bring rigor and independent review to that work.

For leaders, that is the real value of accreditation: it connects behind-the-scenes operations to the people those operations ultimately serve. Learn more about HLAC’s accreditation approach and why it matters for patients and healthcare workers: https://hlacnet.org/accreditation/

✅ Strong teams do not improvise the basics. Practical tools like checklists and downloadable resources can help new staff learn expectations faster and help experienced teams stay aligned on best practices. HLAC’s resource library is built to support safer routines and clearer communication across healthcare textile operations. Browse the available resources: https://hlacnet.org/laundry-resources/

An accreditation mark should represent more than a moment in time. HLAC describes its program as a three-year, independent third-party accreditation that evaluates the full textile processing operation. That framing matters because patient safety depends on consistent systems, training, and follow-through. Learn more about the program: https://hlacnet.org/accreditation/
