There are practices that we now have to follow to ensure our safety and the safety of our loved ones during the wake of this pandemic. All this to avoid contracting the virus and spreading it to our loved ones- considering it is a contagious disease that can be spread from the slightest contact.
Through all fields, the laundry services not left behind, there is need for the adaptation of better practices to curb the spread of the virus. For instance, there is need for the disinfection of items such as your laundry hamper. This needs to be done more frequently than ever before as it is one of the most effective ways of stopping the spread of the deadly virus.
Just as in other sectors, there are a couple of best practices that need to be followed so that you are safe when dealing with your laundry!
WashLand Laundromat response towards the pandemic
At WashLand Laundromat, we have developed some practices that will guarantee the safety of our employees as well as the clients that put their trust in us. For one, all our staff use gloves when they are handling laundry that is brought into our premises. They have also been educated on the best practices to follow when dealing with gloves.
We have also developed the habit of using hot water to wash some of the items that are shared between employees and other people that walk into our premises. This is because of the fact that the virus doesn’t survive hotter temperatures and this should reduce the probability of someone getting infected by coming into contact with the shared items. We also use sanitizers to wash our hands and also to clean some surfaces such as the door knobs in our premises.
Other habits that you didn’t know are appropriate is the use of just enough soap when cleaning dirty laundry. We try to avoid using too much soap as this might cause the dirt to be trapped in the clothes and thus might be risky as far as the spread of COVID-19.
Why you need to be extra cautious to avoid contracting COVID-19
WashLand Laundromat strains the need to be extra careful to avoid being on the wrong side of the COVID-1 pandemic. This is not only for the sake of the individual but also for the sake of their family as you might know. If you are careless you might carry the virus home and this might affect the lives of those you love- the innocent ones.
In the case of laundry services, as your clothes are sparkling clean so should you from the deadly virus. There are some guidelines that should help you protect you and your family from being affected during this pandemic. For instance, there are wash formulas that are recommended for use together with the guidelines on how sanitizers and detergents should be used to curb the spread of the virus.
