McKight’s points to a recent study that suggests nursing uniforms laundered at home have not been adequately sanitized. The study from the University College in London found residential washing machines only heated water to 104 degrees Fahrenheit, leaving substantial amounts of bacteria behind.
Investigators found that thorough ironing after washing was successful in removing remaining Acinetobacter and methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA).
