Properly cleaning and disinfecting resident rooms and common areas in long-term care facilities can help reduce disease transmission, according to an article on the Facility Executive website.
Simple tips that cleaning managers can use to help keep common areas clean include:
• Cleaning surfaces first is critical to remove the surface soil and dirt that can harbor germs and bacteria, and this sets the stage for better disinfection
• Staff should be given regular formal trainings, procedures and tools like online training courses
• Pay special attention to the top touch points including door handles, faucets, food trays, countertops, chairs, tables, light switches, toilet handles, handrails and elevator buttons
