Cleaning programmes in healthcare facilities ensure patients, nurses and doctors have a safe, clean and healthy environment. How To Develop a Health Care Floor Cleaning Program To Reduce Infections
Hospital surfaces like floors, walls, furniture and counters are notorious for harbouring disease-causing germs. Therefore, establishing a sound cleaning programme is critical in ensuring effective disinfection to prevent cross-contamination and germs spread. Developing a smooth health care floor cleaning programme requires the application of the strategies below:
One of the elements which make dealing with hospitals a potential challenge involves the amount of foot traffic. Public areas such as waiting rooms and hallways are therefore perfectly suited for our scrubbers.
These machines have been engineered to deal with larger areas, so sections of a hospital will not need to be cordoned off for an extended period of time. Still, their cleaning mechanisms are quite effective when dealing with potentially hazardous substances. When floors need to be maintained to the highest of standards, there is no doubt that our selection of scrubber dryers will succeed.
Ensure you start your cleaning routine the right way. For instance, consider dusting or removal of the debris before proceeding to scrub. Dusting is critical since it removes hairs and dust that host harmful pathogens. However, scrubbing before removing debris can redistribute dust around the surfaces.
When you are confident the floors are dust-free, you can begin wet-cleaning using the appropriate tools and chemicals. If your facility does not have all the tools, you can find them at Ecodia Environ.
Disinfection in healthcare facilities is mandatory to kill any remaining germs after dusting and cleaning. However, it would be best to choose a suitable disinfectant that will not compromise the visitors’ safety.
The dwell time should also be minimal to avoid obstruction in high-traffic zones. Besides, chemical accuracy is vital to ensure proper sanitising and disinfection of surfaces.
Healthcare facilities must maintain clean and safe environments. A practical floor cleaning programme will incorporate the strategies above to ensure surfaces are spotless. Lack of cleaning equipment should not be a concern since Ecodia Environ can offer wide range of their products to compliment the complete tools and machineries for health care maintenance.
