Soil sort is where safety and precision matter most.

Our soil sort team handles healthcare-specific laundry every day, carefully opening and separating soiled linens by type while watching for non-linen items. In a hospital environment, that can mean anything from medical supplies to sharps or bodily matter, making proper sorting critical for employee safety, linen quality, and reliable processing.

Behind every clean sheet is a team trained to handle the toughest part of the job—safely and responsibly.

Throughout December, HandCraft was proud to host holiday lunches for our production teams across all plant locations.
