Just a general, random, not directly related to COVID-19 question.
Do you allow spray bottles to be used for dispensing routine environmental or equipment cleaning chemicals within your facility (any healthcare facility – hospital, aged care, office practice)?
I had always been of the opinion that dispensing cleaning chemicals by spraying onto surfaces in a healthcare environment was not preferred, due to overspray, vapours and mists, but now I have been approached to endorse a cleaning product that ONLY comes in a spray bottle option (or a ‘misting’ machine – which we are definitely not considering for routine cleaning!)
Do I need to upgrade my thinking, or are spray bottles still not the best option (even with disposable bottles and spray attachments)?
Happy for any comments on this.
Cheers

Hi Michael,
I used some spray and wipe on visible mould growth on a white cupboard
recently and the spores shot out in all directions in the wake of the spray.This was a good visual lesson on how sprays can disturb loose surface
materials and I started spraying the cloth first.More research required perhaps?

Hi Michael,
I have staff remove spray bottles in our RACFs.
I find the biggest issue is they don’t provide enough solution to meet the wet/contact time on the product label.
Other issues are around the safety of spraying chemicals (all be it low level disinfectants) around people who may inhale the same.

They are still not the best as spray bottles are rarely cleaned increasing risk of contamination of pathogens. We use pour bottles that are disposable.

Dear Michael,
I think a few of us 9My area is General practice) have been approached over
the years regarding this and while some manufacturers insist it’s not a
spray but a mist there are other issues besides potential for splashback of
a pathogen from a spray direct to a surface for cleaning1.OHS – the user is inhaling this product unless it is sprayed
directly onto paper cloth/cloth, and if in constant use then quite a bit is
inhaled – quite different to home where exposure is not constantAnd
2.The issue of carryover contamination of the spray/misting mechanism
if a product requires diluting – a mist/spray mechanism cannot be dried
overnight and the risk of carryover contamination is present. A pour bottle
9flip lid, pour spout) is preferred so the lid and bottle can be cleaned and
dried upside down over nightyRegards,

Hi Michael
I have had the same practice of ensuring pour caps were use and not spray. Apart from the reasons youve given, the mist needed to be contained especially for those with the increasing chemical allergies in both staff and patients.
However I too will be interested if thinking has changed.
Kind regards

Hi Michael,
I agree with both of Margaret’s points.
I appreciate that the company is trying to avoid ‘contaminated spray attachments’ by using disposable bottles and spray attachments … however, will the company guarantee that they will take away and recycle the disposable bottles and spray attachments???
And you still have the WH&S risk of inhaling the mist.
