— only when there is visible soil, most say. More than half (55.2%) of
respondents move the OR table between cases. "For non-bloody cases,
the OR table is moved and mopped beneath and a mop-width around
the table," says a respondent.
Slow + steady
We started with one
saying: Many hands
make light work. We'll
end with another: Slow
and steady wins the
race. A 10-minute
turnover time is great,
but in the quest to beat
the clock, the danger is
that the faster things
are being done, the
more things are
missed. Sherry Rogers,
RN, CNOR, CASC, the
CEO of the Tullahoma
(Tenn.) Surgery Center,
speaks for many when
she says, "It is not just
one person's responsi-
bility to turn over the
room — it's everyone's.
All staff members must
work as a team."

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.

Microfiber Pads are
revolutionary. New microfiber every time
because our products are disposable.
Superior bioburden removal and liquid
sorbtion every time. And white in color
because they can be, unlike those other
mops that hide dirt and bacteria.
The Single Use Revolution is coming.
The truth is that microfiber really
works best the first time it's used.
