Cleaning healthcare facilities properly includes physically removing the organic material, then following up with a disinfectant. Using just a disinfectant, without first cleaning, will render the disinfectant much less effective. Special attention should be made to avoid cross contamination, or transferring bacteria and viruses from one patients room to the next. Monitoring for cleanliness should also be done from time to time, and cleaning regime adjusted if necessary.

 

 There are things that you can do to prevent the spread of infection. This includes proper hand hygiene, like washing with soap and water or using a hand sanitizer, and cleaning/disinfecting the healthcare environment. Infection can be spread amongst patients, their families, and healthcare staff, if precautions are not taken.

 

 

Keeping healthcare facilities clean is important to reduce infection. Healthcare associated infections are the leading cause of illness and death. To find a janitorial service in your area that has completed the training for medical facilities, please refer to this link.
