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.
