For high-risk patients in high-risk long-term care settings, thorough facility-wide cleaning and disinfection is often the first line of defense against infection, according to an article on the McKinley's Long-term Care News website.
A few things to keep in mind when evaluating cleaning and disinfecting products include:
• Products with kill claims against common germs and high-concern pathogens including bacteria, enveloped and non-enveloped viruses and fungi
• Ready-to-use products with short contact times (e.g., 30 seconds – three minutes) that allow for one-step cleaning and disinfecting can help promote compliance
• Products that deliver efficacy against key pathogens and compatibility with common surfaces without harsh chemical fumes or odors
