Hi Nan, can you advise whether these cloths needed “wetting” prior to
use and if so how was this accepted by users. Were you using them for
C.difficile as well?

Thanks Jacqui

We recently trialled Hydrogen peroxide wipes during an outbreak of
Norovirus. I have a report which I can share. They were very
successful, and the outbreak was well contained. Although there were
many complaints about the vinegary smell, we actually found that it was
a good indicator that the correct rooms had been cleaned appropriately.
The wipes also allowed shared equipment to be cleaned properly by
nursing staff between patients. We intend to continue using this product
to clean rooms with suspected/confirmed Norovirus and C.diff.
