Considerations for a Skin Friendly Program
Laundered items in contact with skin 24/7
Skin barrier function Prevents the invasion of pathogens Prevents unregulated loss of water and solutes Aged skin has weakened skin barrier = susceptible to damage
Softness Matters Promotes healthy skin barrier
Linen pH Matters Skin pH = pH 4 – pH 7*
*Source: Lambers H, Piessens S, Bloem A, Pronk H, Finkel P. Natural skin surface pH is on average below 5, which is beneficial for its resident flora. Int J Cosmet Sci.2006 Oct;28(5):359-70.

What is Hygienically Clean?
CMS has referenced the Association for the Advancement of Medical Instrumentation’s definition of hygienically clean, “free of pathogens in sufficient numbers to cause human illness.”* No government agency has defined a quantitative definition for the term hygienically clean. For the current purpose, hygienically clean is defined as a linen having no more than 10 cfu/100cm2 of residual microbes in agreement with other independent parties in the industry. For those states requiring the added protection of an EPA registered laundry product, use Ecolab’s Advacare 120 Sanitizer Sour.
