According to a recent article in Environment of Care News, there are many choices of cleaning products for use in medical facilities and with that come a myriad of criteria in which product to choose, when, where and why. Typically, the main criteria for selecting a registered cleaning agent are cost, safety, product–surface compatibility, and acceptability by environmental services staff. Disinfectants used in environmental cleaning should be chosen carefully through collaboration between environmental services, infection prevention specialists, and safety personnel, and purchasing staff. Individuals involved in this effort should have knowledge of terms associated with environmental cleaning, the products used for maintaining the health care environment, and the differences between types and uses of antiseptics, disinfectants, and disinfectant-detergents. It is also important that individuals charged with selecting appropriate cleaning products review the specifications for product use provided by the manufacturers. Organizations should talk with chemical suppliers and ask them to provide product data sheets (MSDS) or labels that include evaluation criteria such as dilution ratios, minimum exposure tim
e required to kill contaminants, stability of dilution, and potential to harm or damage environmental surfaces. To further help with choosing cleaning products, organizations may want to consult outside resources—including the CDC and APIC—for information.
