Recover Safely with Clean Laundry
After surgery, hygiene becomes more important than ever. Contaminated bedding, clothing, or towels can harbor bacteria and increase the risk of infection. Maintaining post-op laundry hygiene isn’t just about fresh linens—it’s about protecting your health while you heal.
That’s where Get Fresh Start Laundry helps. We serve Fairfield and Westchester counties with professional pickup and delivery laundry service, offering ozone sanitation that kills 99.9% of bacteria and viruses—without harsh chemicals.
Why Post-Op Laundry Hygiene Matters
During recovery, your immune system is focused on healing. Even small lapses in hygiene—like reusing towels or sleeping on unwashed bedding—can allow bacteria to grow. Proper laundry practices help:
Prevent infection and irritation
Eliminate lingering odors and germs
Keep your environment clean and comfortable
Reduce the need for physical exertion during recovery
Essential Post-Op Laundry Tips
1. Wash Bedding Frequently
Sheets and pillowcases should be washed every 2–3 days during recovery to reduce germ buildup.
2. Use Hot Water (When Safe)
Hot water helps sanitize fabrics. When fabric care labels don’t allow heat, our ozone sanitation system provides disinfection without damage.
3. Separate Laundry by Type
Separate surgical garments, towels, and bedding to prevent cross-contamination.
4. Avoid Heavy Lifting
Laundry baskets and wet clothes can strain healing muscles—schedule pickup and delivery instead.
5. Choose Fragrance-Free Detergents
Fragrance or dye residues can irritate sensitive or healing skin. We include a Free & Clear hypoallergenic detergentoption at no extra cost.
