Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

Cotton is commonly used for hospital clothing due to its breathability, comfort, and ease of sterilization. It is hypoallergenic, which makes it suitable for sensitive skin and environments requiring high hygiene standards.

Answer 2

The hotel sector emphasizes aesthetics and the final finish of articles, including bed linens, towels, and furnishings. This attention to detail enhances the guest experience by ensuring a polished and welcoming environment. Hospitals prioritize hygiene and disinfection over aesthetic appeal.

Answer 3

The passage specifies that there are two types of institutions with in-house laundry and maintenance setups: hotels and hospitals. Both require significant laundry operations for bed linens, staff uniforms, and other items, but each focuses on different aspects, such as hygiene for hospitals and aesthetics for hotels.

Answer 4

The methods suitable for disinfecting hospital laundry include:
(A) Use of disposables, which helps reduce the risk of infection as they are discarded after a single use.
(B) Anti-bacterial finishes on garments to reduce microbial contamination.
(D) Use of disinfectants and high-temperature washing, which kills bacteria and other pathogens effectively.
(C) (reusable garments washed in cold water) is not suitable for disinfection in hospitals, as cold water does not effectively kill bacteria and other pathogens.

Answer 5

In-house laundry set-ups operate within the organization and are responsible for washing and finishing the organization’s laundry, including items like uniforms, bed linens, and other linens. They typically do not have link-ups with commercial laundries, as their purpose is to manage all laundry needs internally.
