My mother's assisted living place was very careful with laundry and they cleaned very well too. I hope her arrangement wasn't unique. Either my sister or I visited every day. I don't know if that made a difference or not. We were very pleased with the place, the people, and the care... Mom had several quilts that were washed there, and they always came out just like they would have here at my home. Still, I guess it can't hurt to be cautious.
