Healthcare Laundry Accreditation Council - HLAC

Patient safety is the reason HLAC Accreditation exists. Patient safety is the reason for every inspection, standard, and requirement.

HLAC laundries don’t just meet regulations; they understand them, apply them, and verify their results. Every load of hygienic linen supports safer care environments and healthier outcomes.

Because when patient safety comes first, everything else follows.

Clean linen doesn’t always equal hygienic linen. True hygiene comes from consistent, verified processes and well-trained teams.

HLAC-accredited laundries prove every day that they can meet the highest standards for infection prevention and safety.

Because patient safety isn’t a one-time event, it’s a daily commitment.

There’s no room for shortcuts when it comes to healthcare textiles. The quality and safety of every sheet, gown, and towel directly impact patient outcomes, and that starts long before they reach a patient’s room.
HLAC-accredited laundries continually meet the highest standards for producing hygienic linen from handling and sorting to washing, finishing, and delivery.
Because patient safety starts long before the bed is made.

Not all laundries are created equal. HLAC-accredited laundries undergo rigorous on-site inspections to verify they meet the highest standards for processing healthcare linens, protecting patients, staff, and the integrity of your operations.
When you choose an HLAC-accredited laundry, you’re choosing a partner committed to accountability, transparency, and excellence in every cart.
Because in healthcare, clean isn’t enough, it has to be accredited.

Accredited laundries must show their work. HLAC Accreditation requires clear documentation, staff training, and a plan for corrective action if something isn’t right.

When issues happen, laundries must identify the cause and fix it before they move forward. This process helps maintain high standards and builds trust with healthcare partners.

That’s how accountability drives better results — and safer care.

See how it works:

For the independent laundry, the benefits realized from accreditation – in advancing patient safety, quality improvement, credibility, competitiveness, and learning – all combine to outweigh the costs involved.

Excellence comes from accountability, and HLAC-accredited laundries demonstrate more than clean linens. They show a commitment to safety, consistency, and quality through documented processes, operational understanding, and corrective actions when needed.
Each accredited laundry completes rigorous on-site inspections to ensure it meets the highest standards for processing healthcare linens.
By choosing an HLAC-accredited laundry, you’re choosing accountability, transparency, and excellence in every load.
When accountability is built into every step, excellence naturally follows.
