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
Linen pH Matters
Softness Matters
 Skin pH = pH 4 – pH 7*
 Promotes healthy skin barrier
*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.
