Description
The routine cleaning and disinfection of highly-touched, critical or sensitive areas are essential to prevent the spread of infections.
“The role of environmental surfaces (such as floors, walls, furnishing, sinks, carpets, curtains, etc.) in disease transmission in healthcare facilities is limited. Nevertheless, it is imperative that cleaning and disinfection protocols for these surfaces be in place throughout healthcare facilities.”
– The APIC/JCHO Infection Control Workbook
