Keeping Your Laundry Clean In this Crucial Time
Keeping your laundry clean is the primary goal of Lucy’s Laundry and Dry Cleaning. Most especially in these challenging times while dealing with a serious virus.
It’s surreal with so many changes currently happening in our world. The team at Lucy’s Laundry is doing all that we can to comply with all safety regulations and protect our valued customers.
- We are doing our part to support the fight against COVID19.
- Lucy’s Laundry Team makes sure your laundry is being cleaned and sanitized.
- We have been taking extra precautions to ensure that we create a clean and safe environment for both our customers and our employees.
Your safety and the safety of others all depends on us coming together as a community. Our cooperation with one another is important to avoid the spread of viruses.
It is our responsibility, to our community, to place guidelines that will help you and those surrounding you to properly wash your clothing in a way to help eliminate and prevent spreading viruses.
Regular cleaning of clothes will help in the prevention of spreading diseases. Thus, we have gathered several guidelines for you to help prevent the spread of the virus.
Here are Lucy’s Laundry Guidelines:
- Do not shake dirty laundry. This minimizes the possibility of dispersing the virus through the air. Wash items in accordance with the directions.
- If possible, launder items using the warmest appropriate water setting for the items, and dry items completely. (Please note that dirty laundry that has been in contact with an infected person can safely be washed with other people’s items).
- The hotter the wash, the better! (The CDC recommends washing items in a temperature of at least 140 degrees).
- Use the dryer. According to research, viruses hate heat. Therefore, drying clothes will further prevent the spread of the disease.
- Use the right amount of soap. Too much soap creates excess suds that enable dirt and grime to remain trapped inside the fabric. The right amount of soap will properly clean and then be rinsed from the clothing.
- Clean and disinfect clothes baskets, carts, and hampers. Clean these items as often as possible and use a bag liner, if available.
- Above all, Wash your hands!
- Wet your hands with clean, running water (warm or cold)
- Lather your hands by rubbing them together with the soap. Lather the backs of your hands, between your fingers, and under your nails.
- Scrub your hands for at least 20 seconds. I suggest humming the “Happy Birthday” song from beginning to end twice.
- Rinse your hands well under clean, running water.
- Dry your hands using a clean towel or air dry them.
We will also be doing our part in helping prevent the spread of viruses with the following actions:
High Touch Sanitizing
- Lucy’s Laundry team is sanitizing high-touch surfaces every 2 hours for your safety. High touch surfaces including wash buttons, dials, and X-Changers.
Attendant Shifts & Gloves
- Lucy’s Laundry team will be wearing gloves during all interactions with each other and customers.
- Attendant shifts will abide by social distancing to reduce attendant-to-attendant contact.
- All attendants will require doctor clearance if they display signs of sickness.
Wash Cycles & Detergent
- We have confirmed with our vendors that our fluff- n- fold detergent is effective against viruses.
- Where possible, we will be moving to high-heat wash and high-heat dry.
Self-Serve Customers
