North Carolina Hospitals Improve Hygiene with Linen Service Programs

When a patient checks into a hospital, they expect more than good medical care. They want to feel safe, and that starts with the basics: clean sheets, fresh towels, and gowns they can trust. Hospitals across North Carolina are seeing the difference that professional linen services make in maintaining the kind of hygiene standards patients notice.

At CORE Linen Service, we help hospitals keep up with demand while delivering linens that meet strict cleanliness requirements, so staff can focus on what matters most.

Clean Linens Make Hospitals Safer

Hygiene is at the heart of every hospital’s mission. Fresh, sanitized linens protect patients and staff from harmful bacteria that can spread through contact with unclean surfaces. According to the CDC, proper handling of healthcare textiles is critical for infection prevention. Our team at CORE Linen Service uses a certified cleaning process that eliminates contaminants and ensures every item returned to a hospital meets strict safety standards.

We hold Hygienically Clean, HLAC, and LEED certifications, which confirm our compliance with national infection control requirements. These certifications also reflect our long-standing commitment to sustainability and responsible operation. Every wash cycle, rinse, and inspection step is guided by proven healthcare laundry practices that support patient safety.

The Details That Protect Every Patient

We take great care in how every load is handled from start to finish. Clean and soiled linens are always kept apart to remove any chance of cross-contact. During washing, our team keeps a close eye on temperature, detergent balance, and sanitation levels to make sure everything meets hospital-grade standards.

Once the linens are fresh and dry, they are inspected by hand, neatly folded, and wrapped in a clean environment so they reach each hospital ready for use.

Flexible Linen Programs Built for Hospital Efficiency

Every hospital in North Carolina operates differently. Some handle large patient volumes, while others serve smaller or specialized units. Our linen service programs adapt to each client’s needs. We help hospitals build custom delivery schedules, select the right linen types, and maintain accurate inventory levels.

This flexibility means staff members always have the linens they need—without the burden of managing laundry in-house. By removing the daily stress of linen handling, hospitals can focus more time on patient care and less on operations.

Choosing the Right Linens for Each Department

CORE Linen Service gives healthcare facilities control over linen selection. Whether a hospital needs durable surgical textiles, soft patient bedding, or clean uniforms for staff, we provide options that fit comfort and quality expectations. Our team assists with inventory tracking, replacements, and adjustments to prevent shortages or excess stock.

Expanding Access and Maintaining Reliability

Our network has expanded to serve hospitals throughout North Carolina. Each facility receives the same standard of care regardless of size or location. With multiple plants and backup systems in place, we ensure continuous service even during unexpected events.

This built-in redundancy allows us to protect hospitals from delays and keep clean linens in circulation at all times. It is a system built for reliability, designed to support healthcare providers when they need it most.

A Partnership Focused on Shared Values

At CORE Linen Service, we don’t just drop off clean linens and call it a day. We see ourselves as part of your team. Since 1991, we’ve worked hard to build partnerships with hospitals that share our commitment to doing things right.

What that looks like in practice:

  • Showing up on time, every time
  • Keeping communication simple and direct
  • Putting patient safety first
  • Delivering quality you can count on

Our financial stability means we can invest in better equipment and smarter processes. When something comes up, you won’t get stuck in a phone tree. You’ll talk to someone who knows your account and actually listens.

That straightforward approach has earned us the trust of healthcare facilities across the region for more than 30 years.
