Dear Colleagues,
I am seeking advice regarding window dressing .i.e. net curtain and drapes.
Our facility has recently acquired a small rehab facility, where they have net curtains and drapes at the window for each room!!
My question to you all is, should the curtains be laundered after a patient with an MRO has been care for in the room? Baring in mind the drapes are for window dressing and not privacy and are not always drawn closed. Ideally I’d like to get rid of said items but it is not possible at present.Please advise 🙂
Kind regards

Dear Jayne,
At our hospital, when we were using cloth curtains, these were changed(that is laundered) after a patient with an MRO was discharged.

Thanks Rita,
That’s correct this is what we do here too. However the curtains that I refer to are really window dressing as opposed to a privacy screen.!! Here we don’t have the need for window dressing. The issue has arisen as we have a new GM at the rehab facility ( which we don’t or haven’t previously covered)and has highlighted to us. Cleanable roller blinds might be the long term solution.???Kind regards

We are still phasing out our curtains, but in the rooms that have them we remove all curtains and have them laundered, sometimes it has to be steam cleaned as some of the curtains do not come out well after high temperature machine washing.
