Ensuring Safety and Health with Professional Hygiene

Hospitals, clinics, and nursing homes are healthcare environments particularly susceptible to the spread of bacteria and viruses. To prevent the spread of germs, hospitals follow strict infection control protocols.

These protocols, which have intensified with the COVID-19 pandemic, include regular cleaning and disinfection of surfaces and equipment, as well as hand hygiene practices for staff and visitors.

Cleaning refers to the process of removing dirt, dust, and other visible contaminants from instruments, surfaces, and floors, typically using specific detergents diluted in water.

Disinfection, on the other hand, is the process of killing germs on surfaces and instruments, generally done with chemicals such as chlorine, hydrogen peroxide, or quaternary ammonium compounds. Disinfection and sterilization are essential to ensure that medical and surgical instruments do not transmit infectious pathogens to patients.

To effectively clean and disinfect a hospital, it is important to follow a specific protocol, which typically involves:

• Identifying high-touch surfaces and areas likely to be contaminated with germs.

• Cleaning areas with a detergent, water, and disinfection with a chemical disinfectant. It is crucial that the disinfectant remains on surfaces for the recommended contact time.

• Drying surfaces with a cloth or, preferably, using professional cleaning machinery, such as floor scrubbers.

We offer professional surface cleaning machinery, such as vacuums, steam machines, scrubbers, and sweepers, providing the specialized cleaning necessary to prevent the spread of diseases and viruses.
