Hi all,
Our cleaners wear gloves and an apron.
They are supplied with a scrub top each day which is laundered by the facility, however they have their own uniform trousers.
Kind regards,

Subject: [ACIPC_Infexion_Connexion] Cleaning MRO rooms
Hello Brainstrust,
Do cleaners have to gown as well as glove up when cleaning Patients rooms with an MRO?.
Ours do but it has been questioned recently by staff due to the cleaners not touching the patient. There is nothing about this in the NSW health directives but we’re following the contact precautions protocol of PPE for pts with MROs.We have the cleaners clean the MRO rooms last.
Also if the floor is carpeted does the floor need to be shampooed or simply sprayed with an approved product for carpets on patient discharge.
Thank you
Jane Howard SPH
