Hi Catherine,
All hoist slings that are shared between residents should be laundered
between each residents use.
If hoist slings are allocated to specific residents I usually recommend
laundering weekly and whenever visibly soiled.
You will need to ensure you have enough slings to allow for laundry
turnaround times.
Hope this is helpful.

Hi Michael,
Could you please put this out as a question.
Can anyone tell me how often hoist slings should be washed, (apart from when
they are obviously soiled) ?
With thanks,
