Objective
Ensure the laundry area in the healthcare facility is cleaned and sanitised to the highest standards, maintaining a hygienic environment to prevent infection and ensure safety for patients and staff.
Cleaning Methods
Begin by dusting all surfaces using a microfibre cloth to capture dust and prevent it from becoming airborne.
Apply a hospital-grade disinfectant to all high-touch surfaces, allowing the appropriate dwell time before wiping them clean.
Utilise a damp cloth to meticulously clean the exterior of the laundry machine, with particular focus on the control panel and handle.
Mop the floor utilising a two-bucket system to ensure clean water is consistently used throughout the process.
Securely remove the rubbish bag, tie it off, and replace it with a new liner.
Store all cleaning products in a designated area, ensuring they are clearly labelled and kept out of the reach of unauthorised personnel.
Inspect and clean air vents and filters as necessary to maintain air quality.
