Healthcare Laundry Accreditation Council (HLAC)

The Healthcare Laundry Accreditation Council (HLAC) is an organization that sets standards for laundries serving the healthcare industry. It ensures that these facilities maintain high-quality processes for cleaning textiles like linens, uniforms, and surgical materials, which are essential for patient safety and infection control. Accreditation by HLAC signifies that a laundry has met rigorous requirements related to cleanliness, safety, and operational efficiency. This helps healthcare providers ensure that their linens are hygienically clean and free from contaminants, promoting a safer environment for patients and staff.
