Rule 67:42:11:41 Laundry.

67:42:11:41. Laundry. Each facility must provide for the cleaning of all linens and washable goods. Soiled linen must be placed in closed containers or hampers during storage or transportation. The handling, sorting, or washing of soiled linen may not take place in food preparation or serving areas. Areas designated for soiled linen handling and processing must be physically separated from kitchen areas by a permanent partition. If physical separation of laundry and kitchen areas is impractical, written procedures must be developed that prohibit the washing, sorting, or handling of laundry while meals are being prepared or served. Laundry detergents, bleaches, soap builders, brighteners, bluing agents, or other chemicals associated with the washing or finishing process must be safely stored to prevent injury to clients by spillage or ingestion. Laundry chemicals may not be placed or stored with or near food or on food contact surfaces.

If the facility provides laundry service for common-use linens or if different clients' clothing is laundered together and if the water temperature at the washing machine is less than 160 degrees Fahrenheit, bleach or a disinfectant must be used in the laundering process.
