In industries like food service and healthcare, maintaining a clean and safe environment is not just about aesthetics—it’s essential for health, hygiene, and regulatory compliance. Linens play a critical role in this equation, serving as the first line of defense against contamination, bacteria, and potential hazards. Tomlinson Linen Service has been a trusted partner in Washington since 1985, providing high-quality linens, uniforms, and facility products to support safety and cleanliness in the workplace. 

Reducing Cross-Contamination in the Food Industry 

In the food service industry, the risk of cross-contamination can jeopardize customer health and tarnish a business’s reputation. Proper linen management ensures that towels, aprons, and tablecloths are consistently clean and free of harmful pathogens. At Tomlinson Linen Service, we offer specialized food-grade linens designed to withstand the rigors of daily use while maintaining the highest standards of hygiene. Regular laundering at professional-grade temperatures eliminates contaminants, helping restaurants and food facilities minimize risks and adhere to health codes. 

Uniforms also play a significant role. Chefs’ coats, aprons, and kitchen uniforms must be clean and free from food particles that could carry bacteria. Our uniform services ensure that food service employees always have fresh, sanitized attire, reducing the risk of contamination in the kitchen and dining areas. 

Enhancing Patient and Staff Safety in Healthcare 

In healthcare settings, linens are a key component in infection control protocols. From bed linens and patient gowns to staff uniforms and towels, healthcare facilities rely on fresh, sanitized textiles to protect patients and staff. Poor linen management can lead to the spread of infections, posing serious health risks. 

Tomlinson Linen Service provides healthcare-grade linens that meet stringent regulatory requirements. Our laundering processes are designed to eliminate harmful pathogens, ensuring that linens return to healthcare facilities sanitized and ready for use. Clean and well-maintained staff uniforms help project professionalism while preventing the spread of dangerous bacteria and other contaminants within patient care environments. 

The Importance of Consistency and Reliability 

One of the primary benefits of partnering with Tomlinson Linen Service is the consistency and reliability we bring to linen management. For both the food and healthcare industries, running out of clean linens can disrupt operations and compromise safety. With scheduled deliveries and comprehensive inventory management, we ensure that businesses always have the supplies they need to operate smoothly. 

Facility Products for Added Protection 

Beyond linens and uniforms, we also provide essential facility products that contribute to workplace safety. Floor mats, for example, reduce slip-and-fall accidents, while mops and cleaning towels help maintain clean, dry surfaces. In combination with our linen services, these products create a comprehensive solution for maintaining a safe and professional environment.
