When deciding which healthcare cleaning services to employ, partner with a facility’s infection-prevention professionals to determine the chemicals, technologies and cleaning methods to use, according to the third part of an article on the CleanLink website. 

Look for disinfectants effective against norovirus or MRSA, the article said, But, if you're attacking C. diff, use bleach or a bleach-based product. 

Once the approved healthcare cleaning services are in place, the products, safety data sheets, hazardous communications training and equipment training must be incorporated to meet regulatory requirements, the article said.

For example, the chemicals must be diluted to the same ratio each time to guarantee effectiveness. Microfiber mops and cloths should be changed and laundered after each use.
