[marjenes@OPTUSNET.COM.AU Subject: Re: Reuse of plastic goggles In-Reply-To:]

Yes, I recommend to my aged care clients (on the website somewhere)

1.Take the used goggle in an icecream container or similar to the
laundry (you can wear then for multiple episodes of care)
2.Wearing gloves, wash in warm soapy water, rinse in warm running
water, dry with paper towel
3.It’s not mandatory to disinfect but I recommend wipe with a product
that indicates activity to MERS/SARS to leave wet for one minute – be aware
that some products damage plastic eg alcohol, I recommend a well known brand
of wipe

Resources are limited in aged care, are we able to safely clean and
disinfect plastic goggles?
