Implementing medical cleaning practices into other cleaning situations

26 Jun 2023 2:09 AM | Raul Cepeda

Implementing medical cleaning practices are essential to maintaining a safe and healthy environment in healthcare facilities. These practices can also be implemented in other residential and commercial cleaning situations to improve overall cleanness and reduce the spread of germs and viruses. Following a few simple steps, you can implement medical cleaning practices in your cleaning routine.

The first step to implementing medical cleaning practices is to use the right cleaning products medical grade disinfectants are more effective at killing germs and viruses than traditional cleaning products. Look for products that are registered with the Environmental Protection Agency or EPA and have a label that states they are effective at killing germs and viruses on surfaces.

In addition to using the right products it's also essential to follow the correct cleaning procedures medical cleaning practices take a specific cleaning order to ensure that all surfaces are properly cleaned and disinfected. Start by cleaning surfaces that are less likely to be contaminated such as walls and ceilings and work your way down to surfaces that are more likely to be contaminated such as doorknobs, light switches toilets and floors. This ensures that any dirt or grime that falls from higher surfaces don't contaminate surfaces that have already been disinfected.

Finally implementing these medical cleaning practices into other cleaning situations is very important and crucial. Developing a cleaning schedule that includes regular cleaning and disinfection of high touch surfaces. High touch surfaces such as doorknobs, light switches and phones are more likely to harbor germs and viruses and should be clean and disinfected frequently. Develop a cleaning schedule and input this idea that include regular cleaning and disinfection of these surfaces to reduce the spread of germs and viruses at any workplace area which can include residential or commercial.
