Floor cleaning is required in healthcare to stop the spread
of COVID-19 during patient treatment and recovery, while
also providing reassurance of safety for staff and visitors.
To properly clean areas that are exposed to the virus, it is
being recommended the removal of soiling followed by
disinfection.
A scrubber used with disinfectant provides a 2 in 1
clean more effective than other methods. In fact, a
microbiological evaluation of hospital cleaning showed
scrubbers significantly reduced microbial counts, compared
with mop / vacuum, and spray clean, and produced an
affect that persisted for at least a week.
HEPA Specialty Vacuums for Non-patient
Areas
HEPA Filtration is the Key for Maintaining Air Quality
While Cleaning Carpeted Areas
For non-patient areas such as waiting rooms, it is being
recommended to perform routine environmental cleaning.
For carpeted areas, it’s important to use a specialty vacuum
with high filtration capability. A vacuum with a HEPA H13
filter captures and filters contaminants up to 0.3 micron
(1 micron is 1 thousandth of a millimeter) out of the
environment, with 99.95% filtration efficiency. The experts
recommend daily vacuuming of carpeted areas with a
HEPA filter for public areas to combat COVID-19.
HEPA Specialty Vacuums
HEPA Filtration is the Key for Maintaining Air Quality
inside the workplace, offices, hospitals and healthcare
facilities, pharmaceuticals and manufacturing.
Understanding How HEPA Filters Work
These days, HEPA or High Efficiency Particulate Air filters
can be found in both air filtration systems and vacuum
cleaners.
Its main function is to trap large particles to microscopicsized
pollutants like pollen, dust mites, pet dander, mold
spores and even tobacco smoke. It does this by forcing air
through a very fine mesh of randomly arranged fiberglass
fibers. Once trapped inside the filter, these particles can no
longer escape and go back into the return flow air.
