Note: When chemical disinfection is used to wash linen, all wash standardization operations must be carried out in accordance with the disinfection specifications for the chemicals used.

NO.3

Linen light disinfection method

That is to use physical effects such as temperature to denature or solidify the proteins and enzymes of microorganisms to achieve the purpose of disinfection and sterilization. The light disinfection method mainly uses ultraviolet radiation to photolytically denature bacterial proteins and cause bacterial death.

1. Sun exposure disinfection method: Sun exposure method is used for disinfection of pillows, mattresses, mattresses, cotton wool, etc. Generally, the disinfection effect can be achieved by exposure to the sun for 6 hours, and it needs to be turned over every 2 hours during the period.
