High Point, NC -- (SBWIRE) -- 02/02/2017 -- ImageFIRST, providers of medical uniforms and scrubs in Raleigh, NC, and throughout the US, recently announced the relaunch of their complimentary guide entitled "5 Things You Should Know About Your Medical Linen Laundry Service."

Available in PDF format, the guide can be downloaded from http://www.imagefirst.com/5-Things-You-Should-Know-About-Your-Medical-Linen-Laundry-Service-. The document clearly and concisely explains the importance of medical linen and laundry service providers that are familiar with the industry's challenges, and why they are so valuable to healthcare facilities.

A relatively quick read, the document instructs medical professionals on what to look for when selecting a medical linen service. Also included in the PDF is a checklist for healthcare providers to use when evaluating the service of their choice.

Due to the unique challenges of the medical industry -- in particular, healthcare acquired infections - many common techniques for in-house laundry of medical linens fall short of being adequate, as do descriptive terms like "hygienically clean." The guide available from ImageFIRST includes recommendations on things to look for when assessing a linen and laundry service, especially when determining how and if they can bolster effective infection prevention.

The guide is available to everyone, not just healthcare administrators, to download and read at any time.

To learn more about ImageFIRST and their newly relaunched guide or their scrubs and uniforms in Charlotte, NC, interested parties are encouraged to visit the medical laundry service's website at http://north-carolina.imagefirst.com.
