versions with faster dry times in order to increase cleaning compli-
ance and decrease turnover times.
"Even though we build turnover times into our surgical schedule,
patients don't really know what's going on behind the scenes and you
don't want to keep them or your surgeons waiting," says Ms. Holder.
Ms. Nester knows first hand about the importance of following
directives noted on a cleaning product's label. She noticed that the
facility's OR floors were becoming increasingly soiled and sticky, so
they decided to assess the floor cleaner they were using. "We found
that housekeeping was saturating the floors with a standing solution-
water mix for 10 minutes, cleaning up the excess and letting the
remaining liquid dry," she says. "This wasn't how the product was sup-
posed to be used. We also figured out that the product was too harsh
for our floors and was causing the wax to breakdown."
By switching to a different product with a 3-minute kill time, they
were able to remain 100% compliant with the directions of use, spend
less time waiting for the product to dry and prevent premature break-
down of the floor.
