CERTIFICATIONS

Why Use a Certified Laundry?

The stakeholders in your business are increasingly concerned about its commitment to product cleanliness. They need to be assured of your efforts to maximize safety and health. You require as much verified proof as possible to demonstrate that you are achieving these goals.

Using a Hygienically Clean certified laundry contributes mightily to this endeavor:

Textile services companies that earn the Hygienically Clean designation have turned to a third party to attest to their business practices that prevent laundered goods from becoming a source of contamination.
Conformance by textile services operations to this internationally recognized standard for hygiene reflects high performance in multiple aspects of laundering. Certified operations have mastered responsive and timely customer service as well as excellent goods quality.
A textile services operation that earns Hygienically Clean certification and maintains TRSA membership is committed to high productivity and workplace safety rates, achieving the highest levels of excellence in these metrics as well as efficiency, cleanliness and environmental protection. TRSA members report their best practices collectively to benchmark (foster improvement) individually.

The new economy demands more scientific assessments of the health impacts of management practices. Your use of a Hygienically Clean certified laundry indicates your personal conscientiousness and willingness to perform to the highest standards in matters related to all these issues.

When hospitals and other healthcare facilities review linen, uniform and facility services options, every laundry under consideration should be Hygienically Clean Healthcare certified. The certification reflects laundries’ commitment to best management practices (BMPs) in laundering as verified by third-party inspection and their capability to produce hygienically clean textiles as quantified by ongoing microbial testing. A laundry’s dedication to compliance and processing healthcare linens and garments using BMPs as described in its quality assurance documentation (QA) is confirmed. QA is the focus of inspectors’ evaluation of critical control points to minimize risk.

Laundries pass three rounds of outcome-based microbial testing, indicating that their processes are producing Hygienically Clean Healthcare linens and garments and zero presence of harmful bacteria. To maintain certification, laundry plants must pass quarterly testing to ensure that as laundry conditions change, such as water quality, textile fabric composition and wash chemistry, laundered product quality is consistently maintained.
This process eliminates subjectivity by focusing on outcomes and results that verify textiles cleaned in these facilities meet appropriate hygienically clean standards and BMPs for hospitals, surgery centers, medical offices, nursing homes and other medical facilities.

Hygienically Clean Healthcare certification acknowledges laundries’ effectiveness in protecting healthcare operations through testing and inspections that scrutinize quality control procedures in textile services operations related to the handling of textiles containing blood and other potentially infectious materials.
Hygienically Clean Healthcare certified laundries use processes, chemicals and BMPs acknowledged by the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, Association for the Advancement of Medical Instrumentation, American National Standards Institute and others. Introduced in 2012, Hygienically Clean Healthcare brought to North America the international cleanliness standards for healthcare linens and garments used worldwide by the Certification Association for Professional Textile Services and the European Committee for Standardization.

Objective experts in epidemiology, infection control, nursing and other healthcare professions work with launderers to ensure the certification continues to enforce the highest standards for producing clean healthcare textiles.
Processes, chemicals or procedures to achieve BMPs are not stipulated – only that whatever protocols the laundry deems appropriate are documented and practiced. Hygienically Clean Healthcare certified laundries are free to practice whatever tactics are needed to meet Minimum Performance Specifications for bacteriological testing. But they must document their tactics including written quality control procedures.

Hygienically Clean Food Service certification recognizes textile services operations supplying the restaurant industry and other food service establishments. Certified laundries commit to cleanliness through third-party, quantified biological testing and inspection. This process eliminates subjectivity by focusing on outcomes and results that verify textiles cleaned in these facilities meet appropriate hygienically clean standards and best management practices for servicing full- and limited- service restaurants, hotels, hospitals, educational institutions and other locations where food is handled and served.

Application Standard Multiple Certification App
Hygienically Clean Food Service inspectors verify laundry practices including washing procedures (detergent formulas, temperature, disinfectant, pH, extraction), drying, garment inspection and transportation. Each certified laundry plant’s operational flowchart is evaluated, ensuring these procedures (as well as pickup, unloading and sorting of soiled items and sorting of clean laundry) are mapped. Employees’ use of personal protective equipment must be documented.

Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points (HACCP) practices are examined, including the plant’s techniques for:

Conducting hazard analysis
Determining CCPs, monitoring their control, correcting them if not under control
Validating and verifying HACCP system effectiveness
Documenting and record-keeping to show ongoing conformance

Our History

NOW OWNED and managed by third and fourth generations, Shasta Linen Supply traces its origins back into the last century. After immigrating to the US from Scotland, Andrew MacAulay established MacAulay’s Laundry in Chicago 110 years ago.

Seeing new opportunity in the West, Andrew MacAulay moved to Seattle, WA where he operated his second laundry. By this time the automobile was beginning to replace the horse and the company’s service became more frequent and efficient.

Andrew MacAulay’s son, Gordon A. MacAulay, entered the family business as a young man after returning from military service in World War I. Later on, he organized his own company and operated laundries in Klamath Falls, Oakland and Sacramento.

In 1948, Gordon A. MacAulay purchased the Herb Grow Laundry, a firm founded in 1923. Renamed Shasta Linen Supply the company was converted from a family laundry to a commercial linen supply business during the 1950s. After Gordon MacAulay’s death in 1964, the business was purchased by his son, Gordon T. MacAulay, and a son-in-law, Thomas J. Hammer, Jr., a Sacramento attorney.

Expanded and modernized, the company’s production plant is located on 20th between D and E Streets in downtown Sacramento. Today, the company processes and leases linens, uniforms and other textile products to more than 1,200 business and professional firms in the Sacramento and San Joaquin Valleys. Many of these customers have been with Shasta Linen Supply for five decades or more; some have never had linen service from another company.

Our office team is always available to answer any questions.
