Hi Yvonne
We are using antibacterial wipes but not Isopropyl alcohol as it could damage computer screens
We only use diluted bleach for environmental cleaning in an outbreak situation.
We dont dilute bleach in to spray bottles due to aerosolisation – we use a bottle with a flip top lid and pour on to a cloth to wipe down surfaces post detergent clean.

Kind regards

Hi Group,
A question for the group
What are you using to clean keyboards, phones etc at Nurses desks.
My workplace have supplied diluted bleach in spray bottles.
This is an OH&S issue due to the aerosol effect of inhaled bleach. Would be grateful to know what you are using.
Many Thanks,
Yvonne Mannix
