The importance of a crystal-clear cleaning protocol for hospitals and healthcare facilities

At Multi Masters Group, cleaning quality is paramount with every client. However, if there is one place where it really needs to be spotless, it is in healthcare facilities. Just think of hospitals and care facilities, where vulnerable people require the highest quality care in an extremely clean environment. This is only possible if we follow a strict cleaning protocol together with the care staff. What exactly do these entail and how do they affect patients and care staff?

What is a cleaning protocol?

A cleaning protocol defines how cleaning should be done. Given the susceptibility of patients and residents to infections, extra attention should be paid to this in hospitals and healthcare facilities. Cleaning protocols in the healthcare sector therefore cover different types of cleaning.

Experts in bio-cleaning

In healthcare centers, and especially the operating room, clean rooms and critical areas, skilled cleaning is essential. Here we use bio-cleaning, a technique that both cleans and disinfects surfaces. This ensures that all potentially infectious, often invisible organisms, are eliminated. Bio-cleaning can be performed on floors, ceilings, walls and even on the surgical equipment present.

In addition to cleaning, our Cleaning Masters are also true masters of pest control. They work according to strict procedures, with specific products and materials and with due care for all medical equipment and devices.

“Bio-cleaning is about preventing disasters rather than fighting them.” – Christophe Leloutre, bio-cleaning specialist at Samsic

Our bio-cleaning specialists know all hygiene rules like no other, such as correct hand hygiene and wearing protective clothing such as a hair net, overshoes and gloves.

General cleaning in healthcare facilities

In addition to cleaning and disinfecting delicate areas, general cleaning within care centers also plays an important role. In addition to patients and care staff, visitors come across the floor every day. Naturally, that floor has to be squeaky clean as well. In addition to bio-cleaning, our Cleaning Masters also clean corridors, waiting rooms, washrooms and entrances. Where possible, they do this with the help of cleaning robots, which lighten the work of our masters.

Impact of strict protocols on health

It is not only important for patients to stay in a clean room, it is also important for healthcare staff to function in a healthy working environment. To create a hygienic environment in which patients receive the best care, we must pay close attention to ensuring that both our employees and healthcare personnel are aware of the risks of an unclean environment and are familiar with the cleaning protocols specific to the healthcare industry.

Over one hundred thousand billion microbes live on and in the human body. Not all of them are equally harmful. Our job as cleaning experts is to minimize infectious organisms and prevent life-threatening situations. After every hospital visit or stay, the rooms visited must be cleaned according to the rules of the trade, and if necessary, disinfected.
