Just curious as to how often other PACUs have their curtains laundered. I honestly do not even think that we have ours laundered twice a year where I work. Is there a standard as far as infection control is concerned?

i don't think our curtains have been washed in over a year! we are currently in the middle of a renovation-and the sheetrock dust is all over the place. i'm the nurse whose ambulatory surgery center has no housekeeper during the day! i'll take dirty curtains over the fine white dust anyday. i worry about my patients and the staff. we're sneezing all the time. i can't imagine our infection rates are going down.
