If you’re working in Hospital or Aged Care Cleaning, here's a few tips to help minimise the risk of taking germs home with you like the simple task of cleaning your mobile phone frequently.

The Interclean Managed Services team is excited to announce that we will now be providing virtual training for cleaning teams who are either in need of a refresher course on Moisture Management, Trolley Set Up or Touchpoint Cleaning.

Interclean has sourced some PPE specifically for cleaners working in sites with COVID-19 cases.  If you need help with obtaining masks, goggles, protective suits, TGA registered Hospital Disinfection wipes with specific claims for viruses or 1000PPM available chlorine disinfectant tablets then please call us on 02 9838 7740 and we will do our best to put you in the best position to protect your cleaners and healthcare workers on the front line.

As you have probably heard a thousand times, cleaning your hands properly with soap and water, will remove germs and protect you from transferring them into your body via touching your face. It’s true, but the key here is not just to wash your hands once, but to continue cleaning them throughout the day, keeping them always as germ free as possible.

As we wake up each day, we are acutely aware that the world has changed. According to the World Health Organisation, nearly 1.2 million people have been diagnosed with COVID-19, around 70,000 have died and we could be heading toward 5,000,000- 10,000,000 cases if governments do not implement strategies to reduce the spread. This could mean 250,000 to 500,000 deaths worldwide.

Find out what the international leaders in infection prevention and cleaning practice recommend when it comes to looking after your facilities, staff, patients and residents during the Corona Virus epidemic.

A few weeks ago, I was in Europe with Professor Didier Pittet and he gave us his take on what we can be doing to minimise the spread and protect your residents, patients and staff. It’s that simple. Professor Didier Pittet, who created the Clean Hands campaign is our Key Note speaker at theiClean Conference 2020 event that I’m hosting in May.

Do your staff know exactly how to follow and enact your infectious clean policies? Are they reminded of the infectious status of a room before they enter it? Do you have the ability to schedule an entire floor or section of your facility for infectious cleans at the press of a button? And do you have validation that an infection clean was correctly completed each time? If you've answered no to any of the above questions, it's well worth asking why not.
