HEALTHCARE & HOSPITAL FACI LITIES
organisms, has shown that ‘cleaned’ areas are instantly re-infected as the mop-head picks up soils in the bucket’s contaminated water and circulates them across around floor. Even microfibre mopping only cuts bacteria levels by 51% at best, before dragging bacteria back into clean areas, resulting in an overall effectiveness of 24%.
These methods have become widely accepted as standard practice by many, but in reality, they are pretty much pointless, especially when used against something as infectious as SARS-CoV-2.
Removing infection risks If an area has been truly cleaned, with all traces of dirt and bacteria removed, harsh treatments and disinfectants are not necessary. By simply adding water, and a pure cleaning solution that is uncontaminated by previous use, high-flow fluid extraction can then be used to take away the used solution, storing it separately for disposal. This leaves you with a clean surface, with cleanliness levels that can be measured through Adenosine Triphosphate (ATP) measurements. This method of cleaning should be carried out at regular intervals, ideally daily.
Protecting against re-infection Clean, COVID-free surfaces are a great start, but they’re
unlikely to stay that way for long. This is why it is crucial to protect those areas with an anti-microbial shield. This offers active protection for any treated surface, significantly reducing the spread of harmful bacteria and viruses, and providing long-lasting defence.
The solution can be applied to a surface by spraying, wiping, or ‘fogging’, leaving behind a mono-molecular layer that permanently bonds to the surface, forming a protective barrier. Regular, routine cleaning can continue without disturbing the effectiveness of the coating.
Protecting the NHS We have recently added a revolutionary British product to our portfolio, which offers the highest levels of protection against SARS-CoV-2, killing all known infections and hospital superbugs.
GermErase, which is available as a multi-purpose cleaning spray and hand sanitiser, kills COVID-19 in under 30 seconds. It provides a 99.9999% 6-log protective barrier against pathogens for 48 hours and leaves a 99.99% 4-log residual effect for 28 days.
