AbstractA bacteriological study was carried out in a local hospital laundry to examine the effects of (a) lowering the wash temperature from 90 to 70 oC, and (b) adding chlorine to the penultimate cycle. This was carried out in 10 runs each of hospital fabrics including registered nurse uniforms, patients' coats and pants, operation theatre towels, and hand towels.
