“Why is Properly Cleaning Healthcare Facilities So Important”

11 Jan 2025 5:04 PM | Cecilia Gutierrez

During the frightful days of the Covid-19 pandemic we all became ever more aware of the dangers of the spread of a deadly virus, and for the first time in generations the thought of being in public because of the possibility of encountering an infected person or surface evoked a deep sense of fear in us.

Those of us who worked in the facility cleaning and maintenance industries became ever more aware of the importance of our work and of strictly following cleaning and disinfection protocols. We knew to use the right products for specific surfaces in strict accordance with the manufacturer’s specifications was necessary to disrupt the spread of bacteria and viruses found in healthcare facilities because this essential protocol serves as an important line of defense against the spread of infections from one person to another.

In addition to the importance of routine cleaning and disinfection, wearing PPE, regular handwashing, ventilation and air circulation, proper hazardous waste disposal (SHARPS, soiled linens, contaminated waste), and ongoing training play important roles in supporting patient care goals and healthy communities.
