Adequacy of Operating Room Cleaning and Disinfection Using Chemical Germicides

In the United States, healthcare facilities must adhere to stringent guidelines for cleaning and disinfecting environmental surfaces in patients' rooms. Windsor Building Services utilizes EPA-approved disinfectants, such as quaternary ammonium compounds, to ensure the highest standards of cleanliness and safety.

Despite these established recommendations, recent studies have indicated a decline in proper environmental cleanup in some healthcare settings. This underscores the critical need for comprehensive and reliable terminal cleaning procedures provided by experienced professionals like Windsor Building Services.

The Importance of Terminal Cleaning in Operating Rooms

Operating rooms require careful and thorough cleaning to eliminate harmful microorganisms and protect both patients and healthcare staff. In these critical environments, even the smallest oversight can have serious consequences. Windsor Building Services understands the unique challenges of maintaining operating room cleanliness and provides complete terminal cleaning services for these spaces.

Our services are particularly crucial after handling cases involving patients with infections caused by multidrug-resistant organisms (MDROs) such as Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), Vancomycin-resistant Enterococci (VRE), and Clostridioides difficile infection (CDI or C-diff).

By performing an extensive cleaning process, we not only remove visible dirt and debris but also target hidden pathogens, thus reducing the risk of spreading these dangerous pathogens. With a focus on safety, compliance, and effectiveness, our team of trained professionals delivers exceptional results that contribute to a healthier environment for patients, staff, and visitors.

Our Terminal Cleaning Process for Operating Rooms

Before initiating terminal cleaning, staff must wear barrier garments, including face masks, gloves, and booties, to prevent the spread of germs and bacteria outside the contaminated room. At Windsor Building Services, our terminal cleaning process consists of several steps:

For equipment or instruments that cannot be removed from the room, staff must thoroughly scrub and disinfect all surfaces, including wheels, pads, railings, and any other parts of the equipment.

After the room is deemed safe for further use, disinfected machinery and equipment can be reinstalled. All barrier garments must be disposed of, with gloves being the last item to be removed. Place all garments in a plastic bag, seal it, and dispose of it or send it to a facility with regulated cleaning processes.

Innovative Electrostatic Spray Disinfection Services

Windsor Building Services also offers electrostatic spray disinfection, a hands-free alternative to traditional terminal cleaning methods. This innovative approach involves spraying an electrically charged disinfecting mist over surfaces, ensuring thorough disinfection even in hard-to-reach areas. Electrostatic spray can be used in conjunction with our other terminal cleaning services to provide comprehensive disinfection of operating rooms.
