PPE disposal or washing machine

[stella1981]

Hi I wondered if anyone could advise.. I have a small home salon and work alone I have more than enough gowns to run them through the wash after each use and tumble dry them. I’m just a bit cautious about COVID 19 I will wear a visor and gloves but should i be buying disposable Ppe aswell?

I shall be washing as much as possible at 60 or 90 degrees rather than using disposable plastic items. Better for the environment.

Working from home, I can do this but I can see how large salons might have to use disposable items.

As long as they're washed at 60 degrees it's safe to reuse for peace of mind you could always add a capful of disinfectant/ laundry disinfectant to the wash
