[marjenes@OPTUSNET.COM.AU Subject: Re: Cleaning Wiping Cloths In-Reply-To:]

Hi Cath I run an infection control ed service Australia wide as a
microbiologist myself but not for hospitals i.e. office based and right now
I am just happy if there are detergent wipes everywhere so cleaning actually
happens – I find it’s the facilitation that is important (from experience)
and try to steer staff away from liquid detergents and bottles that need to
made up daily and paper towel

Thanks Margaret

Dr Dancer is a crack researcher in this area for sure, and there are several
locals as well plus US experts like Boyce and Carling. I hace access to and
a pretty good working knowledge of the research, I am actually seeking
either real-life practices or written policies from within Australia and NZ.

I appreciate your response regardless.

Cheers
Cath

Dear Catherine – I think that Dr Stephanie Dancer, Microbiologist at
Lanarkshire might have some good references and advice on this as cleaning
is her thing – she is a regular contributor so you shouldn’t have any
trouble finding her email

I would be surprised if lint free was mandated for environmental cleaning

Dear All

I am currently working on a project looking at variations/ uniformity in the
type of cloths used to wipe surfaces in healthcare settings. Specifically I
am looking for any guidelines (local/ state/ national) that make any
recommendations for specific types of cloths by specific tasks or surface
type. For example are there different requirements for cloths used in
bathrooms vs pt environment vs high-touch objects vs non-clinical areas
within a hospital.

I have access to the REACH study publications (thanks Brett) and other
research from the Monash group (thanks Elisabeth Gillespie and team) but
wonder if there are other requirements/ practices.

Thank you for any feedback.

Regards
Cath
