lated bioburden from surfaces within a 10-foot diameter of the OR
table, the terminal clean leaves no stone unturned.
Whole-room disinfection is an adjunct to your terminal clean, not a
replacement and not a reason for your cleaning crew to take short-
cuts during the manu-
al clean. Here's the
protocol we follow:
• Start top to bot-
tom, meaning the
ceiling to the walls to
the floor, and clean
from the edge to the
center; the center of
the room is typically
the dirtiest.
• Use a checklist,
and move in a uni-
form fashion —
clockwise or counter-
clockwise — through-
out the terminal clean
to eliminate the
potential for an over-
sight.
• Use each disin-
fecting agent accord-
ing to the manufactur-
er's instructions for
use, being sure to
leave adequate dwell

Simple. Efficient. Clean.
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.
