Colour Coded Laundry Bags for Care Homes and Hospitals
Care homes, hospitals and healthcare facilities require effective linen management systems using colour-coded laundry bags to prevent cross-contamination and maintain infection control standards. At Next Day Care Supplies, we provide reusable linen bags, Safeknot infection control bags and Safetex self-opening bags in red, blue, white, green and yellow for segregating soiled linen according to NHS protocols.
Our laundry bags for care homes are manufactured from durable polyester fabric designed for repeated industrial washing. The colour-coding system enables staff to easily identify and separate infected linen, general bedding, theatre linen and isolation linen, reducing infection risk and ensuring compliance with healthcare laundry guidelines.
Why Colour-Coded Laundry Systems Matter
Infection control laundry bags prevent the mixing of contaminated and clean linen, protecting residents, patients and staff from healthcare-associated infections. The visual colour-coding system makes it impossible for staff to mistake high-risk infected linen for general laundry, ensuring proper handling and washing procedures are followed.
