How is it recommended to clean the dirty bedding and towels of patients with COVID-19?
It is recommended that when handling dirty bedding and towels from COVID-19 patients:
Wear appropriate PPE before touching dirty sheets, which includes sturdy gloves, a mask, eye protection (goggles or face shield), a long-sleeved gown, an apron (if the gown is not waterproof), and closed boots or footwear.
Never carry dirty sheets close to your body and put them in a tightly labeled and clearly labeled container (for example, a bag or a bucket).
If there are solid droppings on the sheets, such as faeces or vomiting, carefully remove them with a flat, hard object and deposit them in the wedge or the corresponding toilet / latrine before putting the sheets in the container designated for this purpose.
If the latrine is not in the same room as the patient, the solid stool will be placed in a covered bucket to dispose of it in the toilet or latrine.
Machine wash and disinfect sheets with hot water (60-90 ° C) and laundry detergent.
If it is not possible to machine wash the sheets, they can be soaked in hot soapy water in a large barrel, using a stick to remove them and avoiding splashing.
If hot water is not available, it is recommended to soak the sheets in a 0.05% bleach solution for about 30 minutes.
Subsequently, the sheets should be rinsed with clean water and left in the sun until they dry completely.
