Proper cleaning of healthcare facilities is imperative to keeping patients, staff, and visitors free of infection from harmful diseases.  Healthcare facilities are filled with all types of germs naturally because of the patients that are there for treatment, and the processes that are necessary to heal these infections.  Subsequently, those who clean these facilities will inevitably come in contact with these germs, so it is necessary to know how to properly disinfect the facilities.

Employees who clean healthcare facilities properly are not only doing so for their own safety, but for those around them as well.  As previously stated, healthcare facilities are hubs for germs and infectious diseases.  If these germs are not properly disinfected then a situation could occur where a lot of people get sick due to negligence.  This could result in hefty lawsuits which all could have been avoided if the facility had been properly disinfected.

 This is why the correct guidelines must be followed by employees who clean these facilities.  MSDS's must be used to properly deal with any hazardous chemicals.  PPE must be used to keep staff from bringing any germs home.  Lastly, the proper techniques of wiping down surfaces and restrooms will keep everyone safe and the buildings clean.
