Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for preventing contact with contaminated textiles and/or spreading of contaminants therein during transport and cleaning of the textiles (5). In order to ensure that personnel neither can come in contact with the contaminated textiles (5) nor is exposed to liquid or gaseous contaminants emanating from the textiles, the method is characterised by the fact that the textiles (5) are collected in a hermetically sealable, transportable and to a cleaning device (6) connectable transport container (1), which in hermetically sealed condition is transported to the cleaning device and connected thereto for admission of medium for driving out contaminants from the textiles (5) before the container is opened for removing the textiles.
