After a service, how should soiled linens be prepared for transport to laundry?

• A. Rolled outward
• B. Rolled inward
• C. Kept in a bag with the client's belongings
• D. Left on the bed

Answer: (B)

Controlling contamination when moving soiled linens is essential. Rolling the linen so the dirty surface stays inside keeps contaminants contained, reducing the chance they contact your hands, clothing, or clean surfaces, and it helps prevent moisture or soil from leaking into other areas. This makes it safer and easier to carry the bundle to the laundry without spreading contamination. After rolling, place the bundle into a designated laundry bag or hamper for transport. Rolling outward would expose the dirty side and increase the risk of spreading contaminants, leaving the linens on the bed risks environmental spread, and keeping them with the client’s belongings risks cross-contact with other items.
