HI again,
I know this is an old post but could you give some me advice. Housekeeping have requested information regarding the need for single use pump / pour bottles or should they be washed between refills? Can you tell me what you do in your work area?
thanks

HI Christine

You can use a trigger nozzle bottle (most do) as apposed to a spray bottle or pour top bottles (little flip lid) are preferential.

Generally we encourage pouring onto a cloth as apposed to direct onto the surface just due to the risk of droplet or aerosolisation

Hi All,
I know that aerosol surface disinfectant is not recommended to be used in hospital, but how about a spray bottle disinfectant for surfaces?
Is there a standard or literature that I can refer to about this topic and what is the recommended for surface disinfection?

Thank you in advance.

Kind Regards
