Recommendations to consider:
It is also suggested that everything should be cleaned and disinfected in between every patient to ensure there is no danger of cross infection. Surfaces should be made of certain materials in order to avoid the risk of incubation. This means having hard floors instead of carpets, especially in treatment rooms, and replacing ‘privacy curtains’ with disposable ones.
Where Altro-type safety flooring is selected, all of ProCare’s cleaning materials are approved by the manufacturers of this type of flooring. A periodic scrub of Altro-type flooring is highly recommended as it can sometimes give the appearance of being dirty after a long period of use.
Colour Coding
ProCare ensures that colour-coded mops, buckets and cloths are on site and labelled, in accordance with the NPSA Colour Coding scheme.
Disinfection Chemicals
ProCare currently recommends using 2 different anti-viral disinfectants (both effective against MRSA, H1N1, C. Difficile, etc.) on a rotational basis, as it is best not to use the same chemical for too long as germs can build up a resistance to it. ProCare uses the latest cleaning materials that have been specifically designed for today’s needs.
Housekeeping
As cleaning will need to be carried out during the day, ProCare can provide clients with a price list for disinfectants, clothes and other materials. These would be delivered to your premises along with COSHH sheets.
Feminine Hygiene and Nappy Disposal Units
ProCare can provide the required numbers of these units and arrange for these to be emptied and serviced according to your needs. They can also supply sharps and clinical-waste bins.
Inspections – CQC and Infection Control
They can ensure that someone from ProCare is available during your inspections to give you all the necessary information and to resolve any issues quickly. They can also adjust specifications when new requirements are introduced.
