    HI All,

    I am reviewing our hospital’s laundry practices, and I would like to know the temperature for laundry – drying process for different fabric.

    (1) for heat liable fabric that is treated by low temperature.

    (2) for general fabric that would stand for higher temperature.

    Yours sincerely,

    Dear Fiona.

    Thank for your sharing.

    Australian / New Zealand Standards for Laundry Practice AS/NZS 4146:2000, Section 3.5.2, which states:
    “The minimum time/temperature combinations are therefore-
    (a) 65C maintained for not less than 10 minutes; minimum cycle time 14 minutes for low loading or 18 minutes for high loading; or
    (b) 71C maintained for not less than 3 minutes; minimum cycle time 7 minutes for low loading or 11 minutes for high loading.”

    My raised question is for the heat liable fabric and it is contaminated with scabies. Because the concerned fabric’s laundry label states the fabric is not suitable for temperature which is greater than 65C.

    So, we would like to know the temperature requirements for washing and ironing process of this heat labile fabric.

    Regards,
