B2B Biohazard Policy

At Fully Folded, the health and safety of our customers, employees, and community are our top priority. To ensure a clean and hygienic environment for everyone, we have established a comprehensive biohazard policy that outlines how we handle potentially hazardous items in the laundry process.

 

Definition of Biohazards

Biohazardous materials include, but are not limited to:

• Items contaminated with bodily fluids such as blood, vomit, feces or urine.

• Clothing or linens exposed to infectious materials.

• Items that pose a risk of spreading harmful pathogens, bacteria or virus.

 

Identification and Handling

1. Inspection:

   • All laundry items are carefully inspected before washing to identify potential biohazards.

   • Any items deemed hazardous will be isolated and removed from the standard laundry process.

2. Safe Containment:

   • Biohazardous items will be placed in designated, sealed bags to prevent cross-contamination.

   • These items will be handled exclusively by trained personnel using proper personal protective equipment (PPE).

3. Disposal or Specialized Cleaning:

   • If an item cannot be safely cleaned, it will be securely disposed of according to local regulations.

   • For cleanable items, we will use high-temperature washing cycles and hospital-grade disinfectants.

 

Bed Bug Protocol

Laundry suspected of being exposed to bed bugs requires special handling to ensure the safety and cleanliness of all items we process.

• Customers must identify any laundry suspected of having bed bugs and double-bag the items in tightly knotted plastic bags.

• Upon identification, these items will be subjected to additional laundering protocols, including high-heat treatments to eliminate any pests.

• Additional charges will apply for handling and processing these items due to the need for specialized procedures and equipment.

• If bed bugs are discovered without prior notification, we reserve the right to refuse service for the affected items and may impose additional fees.

 

Customer Notification

• If we identify biohazardous or bed bug-affected items in your laundry, we will contact you immediately to discuss next steps.

• Additional fees may apply for the handling, cleaning, or disposal of these items.

 

Employee Training

All team members undergo regular training on:

• Recognizing biohazards and pest-related risks.

• Proper handling and containment procedures.

• Safe cleaning and disposal methods.

 

Prohibited Items

For the safety of all parties, we ask customers to refrain from including the following items in their laundry:

• Medical waste or sharp objects.

• Items heavily soiled with bodily fluids.

• Any materials that require specialized biohazard or pest-related disposal.
