Cleaning clinical work stations

[Yvonne Mannix]

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,

Hi Group,
As keyboards and phones get a lot of dirt/oils from our hands they should be cleaned first and then disinfected. I suggest using a detergent wipe followed by a disinfectant wipe. If the dirt or oil is left on them, then the disinfectant efficacy is reduced and for some disinfectants like bleach, inactivation by dirt is a major worry.

If you are cleaning keyboards frequently throughout the day a combined wipe would be ok.

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.
