Hospital privacy curtains are one of the most frequently touched—and most frequently
overlooked—surfaces in any healthcare facility. Staff move them, patients touch them,
visitors adjust them, and yet these high-contact textiles often go far too long without
proper sanitization. In an environment where infection control is a top priority, this is a
critical oversight that can expose hospitals to unnecessary risk.
For more than 48 years, KEMTEX has been North Texas’ trusted partner
for healthcare-grade curtain cleaning. After cleaning and sanitizing over one million
curtains, our team has perfected a process that meets the highest compliance
requirements while keeping patient environments clean, safe, and audit-ready.
The Problem: Hidden Contaminants + Irregular Cleaning
Studies consistently show that privacy curtains can harbor bacteria like MRSA, C. diff,
and other organic soils—especially in high-touch areas such as:
• Emergency Department (ER)
• Trauma rooms
• Isolation Rooms
• Intensive Care Unit (ICU)
Turnover in these departments is faster, meaning curtains accumulate pathogens at a
quicker rate. Yet many facilities unintentionally allow long gaps between cleanings
simply because no clear schedule or tracking system is in place.
This creates risk in four key areas:
