Cleaning Procedures for MRSA
-
-
How do I clean the room after a patient colonised with MRSA has left?
- Daily cleaning procedures of side rooms will be performed by domestic staff according to the Source Isolation procedure (see sections on Uniforms and Cleaning Areas used for Source Isolation). Generally, surfaces are wiped down with General Purpose Detergent only, using fresh disposable cloths for each room or bed area.
- After discharge and following thorough cleaning with GPD, all surfaces should be wiped with a disinfectant (eg Hycolin 2% or fresh chlorine releasing agent) and allowed to dry.
