Hello Everyone,
I am keen to find out from those Infection Prevention & Control colleagues who use micro fibre cleaning items (mops, cloths) at their facilities and whether you use these items with a disinfectant cleaning agent for hard surfaces (eg floors, bench tops, bed rails).In particular has the disinfectant cleaning agent affected the micro-fibre cleaning items and if so what strategies you implemented to address this? Are there micro-fibre cleaning items that are compatible with disinfectant cleaning agents?
Thank you in advance for your responses.
Kind regards,
BarbBarbara May

Hi Barbara
Here at SVPHS Microfibre cloths and mops have been used for many years.
It is used with water or detergent generally or a sodium hypochloride solution for rooms where there is identified risk of environmentally persistent microorganisms.The effect of using hypochloride solution is that it reduces the life span of the Microfibre cloth or mop . Apart from that there is no issue- we were told this by the supplier manufacturer some years ago and it has been the experience of our staff.
The other option is to use the disposable Microfibre cloth alternative, however it is not as heavy duty.Regards
