Healthcare and medical linen and laundry service requires dependable inventory, documented processing, and reliable weekly delivery. U.S. Linen & Uniform provides commercial healthcare linen and uniform rental services for hospitals, medical practices, surgery centers, clinics, and specialty healthcare providers throughout Washington, Oregon, and Idaho. From patient gowns, scrubs, and lab coats to specialized fluid-resistant and anti-static lab coats, every garment is professionally processed, inspected, and delivered on schedule.
Every week, we process more than 200,000 pounds of laundry, giving providers the confidence that clean, ready-to-use linens and uniforms will be available when they need them. Our Star Tracking SystemⓇ uses RFID technology to improve inventory visibility and reduce garment loss, while the Star Garment Repair App helps extend garment life through proactive repairs. Combined with Service When You Need It and No Surprises Billing, our managed healthcare linen program delivers consistent quality, predictable costs, and dependable service so your staff can stay focused on patient care.
Linen & Laundry Built Around Patient Care
Healthcare facilities depend on a steady supply of clean, professional linens and uniforms to keep patient care moving. U.S. Linen & Uniform provides medical linen and uniform service for dental offices, medical and urgent care clinics, diagnostic and testing laboratories, and surgery centers. From patient gowns and scrubs to lab coats, every item is professionally laundered, inspected, repaired when needed, and delivered on a dependable schedule so your team always has what it needs.
The daily demands of healthcare quickly expose the limits of a do-it-yourself approach. Patient gowns turn over with every visit, scrubs and lab coats are exposed to contaminants, yet many facilities still rely on staff to wash garments at home, risking the loss of protective performance or the items themselves. Return clinicians to patient care and leave the medical laundry and linen service to us.

- Sizing and fitting for every staff member, with quick turnaround for new hires and traveling clinicians.

Less time chasing linen.
More time with patients.
Where Do-It-Yourself Laundry Breaks Down
A do-it-yourself medical laundry program seems to save money until the hidden costs begin to add up. Gowns, towels, scrubs, and lab coats leave with staff, end up in the trash, or simply disappear with no way to track what was lost or what it cost over the course of a year. Our medical linen service eliminates much of that waste through our RFID tracking inventory controls and managed par levels that ensure the right products are always available.
When it comes to uniform and linen care, healthcare demands a higher standard than a back-room washer and dryer can consistently deliver. In-house medical laundry takes up floor space and staff time, while garments washed at home leave the controlled healthcare environment. Specialty garments such as fluid-resistant and anti-static lab coats can lose their protective performance when exposed to consumer detergents and high dryer temperatures.
U.S. Linen & Uniform’s medical linen service replaces these uncertainties with a reliable, professionally maintained system. Inventory is monitored continuously to prevent stock-outs, so staff spend their time caring for patients instead of searching for clean gowns or coats. The result is lower operating costs, more consistent garment performance, and a healthcare environment that is better equipped to support patient care.
Clean linen, tracked garments, reliable weekly service.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does a medical linen service work?
You pick the uniforms and linens for your business. We size your employees and then provide enough uniforms so each wearer will not run out of uniforms. We also ensure you always have enough fresh linens.
What is the difference between medical linen rental and buying linen outright?
By renting, laundering, repair, and replacement are taken out of your hands, giving you more time to focus on patient care.
How often do you pick up and deliver?
Each week, we’ll come to your place of business to pick up all the soiled linens and uniforms and deliver a fresh stock of laundered replacements.
Do you handle soiled or contaminated healthcare textiles?
Yes we do handle contaminated healthcare. We have special red bags for soiled medical linen, and we treat all incoming medical linen as if it is contaminated. We always err on the side of caution.
Can staff be fitted individually for scrubs and lab coats?
Yes. We have samples of all of our products for your team to try on and ensure a perfect fit. And, if an employee’s size changes, we can easily swap out the order.

Related Services for Healthcare Customers
Healthcare facilities need more than professional linens and uniforms. Keeping exam rooms, waiting rooms, and the entire building clean and sanitized is critical to patient well-being. We offer entry mats for lobbies and vestibules, anti-fatigue mats for busy pharmacies and lab benches, and wet and dust mops for clinical corridors. We provide, clean, and replace service items as needed to keep your place of business clean and safe.
Benefits Beyond Clean Linen
A managed linen service ensures clean, high-quality gowns, lab coats, and linens are always available throughout waiting areas, exam and operating rooms, creating a consistently professional experience for every patient and family. Our standardized processing replaces the inconsistency of home laundering or ad hoc back-room washing with documented, repeatable cleaning practices that support a reliable standard of care.
Beyond presentation, managed linen service reduces operating costs and administrative burden. Our RFID tracking and in-house garment repairs extend linen life and lower replacement spending, while eliminating staff time spent ordering gowns and coats by the case. Instead of searching for clean garments or managing laundry, clinical teams can stay focused on caring for patients.
