What is Terminal Cleaning?

The cleansing procedures employed in a healthcare environment to regulate the transmission of infectious diseases are referred to as terminal cleaning. The primary goal of terminal cleaning is to create a safe and sterile environment for patients, staff, and visitors by thoroughly disinfecting areas previously occupied by patients, especially those with infectious diseases. 

Medical facility cleaning services typically involve the following:

• Disinfecting Surfaces such as door handles, light switches, bed rails, tabletops, and other high-touch areas.
• Removing all detachable objects
• Floor care cleaning with a mop or an appropriate carpet cleaner with disinfectant properties suitable for healthcare.
• Remove and properly dispose of all trash and medical waste following hazardous material protocols.
• Wipe all medical equipment and devices with appropriate disinfectants, adhering to manufacturer guidelines.

Once the following terminal cleaning services have been done, our cleaning personnel will conduct a thorough final examination of the room to ensure that no areas have been overlooked and that the checklist is complete.

Terminal Cleaning of Operating Rooms: Electrostatic Spray Disinfection

Electrostatic spray disinfection is a hands-free alternative to terminal cleaning in operating rooms, covering surfaces with an electrically charged mist. When the disinfecting mist is charged, the spray readily wraps around machinery, light fixtures, and other strange surfaces while spraying from a single angle. To help ensure complete disinfection before the space is reused, electrostatic spray can be utilized in operating rooms in conjunction with other terminal cleaning methods.
