Protective clothing ISO 15797 Industrial washing

PPE must comply with the “PRO” washing symbols (see above) which means professional industrial laundry.

The stages of industrial washing

Step 1: Sorting

This step is crucial to differentiate:

  • White and colors
  • PPE and non-PPI
  • Work clothes and flat linen (sheets, tablecloths, …)

In order to send the garments to the right maintenance process.

Step 2: Washing

  • Washing tunnels: accommodate approximately 50kg of laundry per module
  • Washing is done with detergent and chemical products adapted to these materials
  • The press at the exit of the washing tunnel: crushes the clothes in order to wring them out (pressure of 6 bars for clothes to 24 for flat linen)

Note: today more and more washes are done at 60°C to respect the fibers and save energy
