A sanitizing system for sanitizing a laundry sling that is moveable along one or more support rails includes a motor, a cable operatively coupled to the motor, a sanitizing lamp coupled to the cable, and a controller configured to cause the motor to operate such that the sanitizing lamp is moved, via the cable, from a first position to a second position and actuate the sanitizing lamp such that the sanitizing lamp emits a sanitizing wavelength of light.
