Ms. Nester also substituted hydrogen peroxide wipes with a 1-
minute kill time for the several products they had been using for their
morning and between-case wipe downs of surface areas. Hydrogen
peroxide is gentle on equipment and its 1-minute kill time improves
turnover efficiencies
and is easy to remem-
ber, says Ms. Nester.
"Surveyors often
ask staff what the kill
time is on your disin-
fectants," she says. "If
you're using several
different products to
wipe down different
things, it can be tough
to recall the kill times
on all of them."

duties are assigned
and your staff has
been educated on
using disinfecting
products, you can fig-
ure out how you're
going to assess clean-
ing compliance. Ms.

Why Add Microbes to Your
Mop Bucket?
After that, it's just a magnet for nasties—
Hair, lint, fungi, mold, even spores—
recirculating through the laundry.
Microfiber, while great at grabbing
up bioburden from hospital floors or
surfaces, is terrible at letting go even
when washed.
