Deep cleaning for healthcare areas
August 1st 2008 The iDCS specialised hospital and
healthcare deep cleaning service
from City & Kent Cleaning was
recently used to deep clean
clinics and wards for the Mid-
Essex Primary Care Trust.The aim
was "to take the hassle out of an
extremely pressured group of
medical areas," says Jean
Glasspool, business development
director at City & Kent.This
included on one occasion,
cleaning in two maternity clinics,
while the units were still running.
Intensive deep cleans were
carried out at three wards and
nine other departments.The
majority of the work was carried
out overnight or at weekends so
as not interrupt its clinical
services.All areas, beds and
surrounding curtains, are steam
decontaminated, as are trolleys,
fans and wheelchairs.Additional
iDCS services include air
management to prevent microorganisms
