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:

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: A Checklist

The operating room is a critical zone within healthcare facilities, requiring the highest standard of cleanliness to prevent surgical site infections (SSIs) and ensure the success of surgical procedures. This demands a multi-faceted, detailed approach to sanitation and hygiene.

The first step in terminal cleaning is for staff to suit up in barrier garments, including face masks, gloves, and booties, to prevent the spread of microorganisms outside of the contaminated room. After staff have properly suited up, they will:

  1. Remove all detachable objects from the room to disinfect them in specified controlled environments. This allows them to be returned after the terminal cleaning has taken place.
  2. Use approved cleaning chemicals to disinfect the room from the ceiling to the floor. This includes patient monitors, IV poles, glove boxes, gown holders, storage cabinets, supply carts, furniture, and positioning devices.
  3. Start by cleaning all lighting fixtures and grates adorning the ceiling, working down to the walls and eventually the floor.
  4. Completely disinfect wheels, pads, railings, and any other surface of equipment to ensure the most thorough disinfecting of the operating room takes place.

Gloves should be discarded last among all barrier clothes. All clothing should be sealed in a plastic bag before disposal or delivery to a facility using controlled cleaning techniques. A final inspection will take place to ensure the room is clean and looks presentable.


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. Electrostatic spray can be utilized in operating rooms in conjunction with other terminal cleaning methods to help ensure complete disinfection before the space is reused.
