Clean linen in aged care is more than comfort—it’s essential for dignity, health, and infection control.
At Washmate, we specialise in providing professional aged care laundry services across Sydney, ensuring every garment and towel is handled with precision, hygiene, and compassion.

The Unique Laundry Demands of Aged Care

Aged care facilities face unique challenges:

• Managing delicate, mixed-fabric garments
  
• Ensuring infection-control compliance
  
• Coordinating frequent pickups and returns
  
• Maintaining residents’ comfort and confidence
  

Washmate addresses each of these through proven systems aligned with healthcare standards.

Our Commitment to Infection Control

AS 4146:2024 Compliance

All laundry is processed in line with AS 4146:2024 Laundry Practice Standard, ensuring proper disinfection cycles and separation of soiled and clean items.

Controlled Environment

We maintain strict zoning for handling, washing, drying, and packaging, reducing cross-contamination risk.

Staff Training & PPE

Our teams are trained in infection-control procedures and use PPE during every stage.

Personal Care for Residents’ Garments

Every resident’s clothing is tagged individually, washed separately, and returned neatly folded.
This preserves fabric quality and ensures garments always find their way back to the right person—important for both dignity and trust.
