Hospitals choose microfibre system
October 1st 2010 University College London NHS
Foundation Trust has agreed to
support The Heart
Hospital and The
National Hospital for
Neurology & Neurology
in changing the way
they clean ward and
other clinical areas.
Both hospitals are
planning to introduce
the Vikan ErgoClean
microfibre cleaning
system,using microfibre
mops, cloths and high dusters.The
mops and cloths are predampened
and kept in containers
on the cleaning trolley ready for
use.Dust,dirt and bacteria are held
within the fibres of the cloth/mop
and can only be removed by
laundering at high temperatures
to ensure all bacteria are
killed.This also ensures
that they are thermally
disinfected ready for the
next use.Each patient or
clinical area is cleaned
with a fresh cloth and
mop to reduce the
chances of spreading
infection through
cleaning.
Each item is colour coded
to meet the cleaning standards
colour coding.Once cleaning of
the area is complete, the cloth is
placed in a laundry bag. More articles from Vikan (UK) Limited: |
