Have you noticed how prominent white linens are in the medical industry? From doctor’s offices to dentists, hospitals, and more, white linens are commonplace. But why? White linens are the clear and perfect choice for medical facilities for a variety of reasons.

Fresh and crisp white linens look appealing and stylish to the eye. They can give a sense of cleanliness and sterility. Not only that, but studies have shown that patients are more likely to trust doctors who wear white lab coats over formal clothing.

You might be surprised to learn that white linens are actually easier to clean than linens of any other color. Colorful linens are more challenging as you have to sort them to determine which fabrics could bleed. White linens don’t need to be sorted, and laundry providers don’t have to worry about any color bleeding or fading. Instead they can focus solely on what matters most – getting your linens as hygienically clean as possible.

White hospital linens make it easier for nurses and other medical staff to swiftly identify issues with their patients. White healthcare linens are the quickest to visually reveal bleeding or other bodily fluids and injury coming from a patient. Not only that but, because it’s so easy to identify injuries, dirt, and other stains on white sheets, medical personnel will better know when it’s time to change the sheets. Patients will feel more comfortable knowing they are laying on clean sheets because they can see them for themselves.
