This is a real life case.

This article explores surface disinfection (commonly bleach in the hospital). Although provider gowns are removed after entering contaminated rooms, disinfected surfaces commonly come into contact with provider scrubs which are not laundered in between same day patient encounters as well as other patients (such as the table of a CT or MRI).

I don’t see the gymnastics you’re referring to, other studies have looked at laundering processes which is not the focus of this study.
