For a heating (cold wet) sheet wrap, describe the proper hygiene steps after the treatment
What will be an ideal response?
Launder the sheets, towels, and washcloth with hot water and detergent after each use. Clean the insulating sheet by spraying it with alcohol or other disinfectant. It can also be washed with soap and water, but it should still be sprayed with alcohol after that. The wool blanket should not have come in contact with the client's skin so dry cleaning it every two weeks (or after six uses) should be sufficient. If the wool blanket did come in contact with the client's skin, it needs to be cleaned before being used on another client. An easier solution is to buy washable wool blankets and launder them in hot water and detergent after each use.
