How to Design a Safe, Efficient Laundry Room for Your NYC Assisted Living Facility

Because Laundry Impacts More Than Cleanliness — It Impacts Resident Health and Comfort

In assisted living facilities, rehab centers, and nursing homes across NYC, the laundry room plays a vital but often overlooked role. It’s where hygiene meets dignity — and a well-run laundry space supports:

• Infection control

• Resident comfort

• OSHA compliance

• Efficient workflows for staff

At Sani Wash, we help healthcare and senior care facilities across New York design, supply, and support safe, effective, and cost-efficient laundry operations that meet both medical standards and day-to-day operational needs.

➡️ Key Elements of a Safe, Compliant Laundry Room

✅ 1. Separation of Clean and Soiled Items

Avoid cross-contamination by:

• Using clearly labeled carts

• Installing visual signage

• Keeping folding areas separate from wash zones

We supply color-coded systems and staff guidance to help ensure compliance with CDC and DOH guidelines.

✅ 2. Proper Chemical Storage & Dispensing

Many facilities store laundry chemicals in jugs or open shelves — a risk for both spills and misdosing.

Sani Wash provides:

• Wall-mounted chemical dispensers

• Secure storage stations

• Dilution systems that eliminate manual mixing

• Safety Data Sheets (SDS) in English and Spanish

✅ 3. Efficient Workflow Design

Design your room to support:

• Easy cart movement

• Clear pathways for dirty → clean linen flow

• Logical placement of folding tables and PPE

Our team helps assess your layout and suggest low-cost improvements to reduce wasted time and steps.

✅ 4. Equipment-Safe Chemistry

Not all healthcare laundry machines are created equal. We match:

• Detergents, softeners, and oxygen bleach

• To your machine type, load volume, and water profile

This protects your investment and improves cleaning consistency.
