REACT Specialist Cleaning chief executive Shaun Doak gives the lowdown on how it is helping to keep care homes safe during the pandemic via its deep cleaning process.
It is well documented that care homes – and their residents – are among the most vulnerable in society to the impacts of the Covid-19 pandemic. With the government encouraging everyone a return to ‘normal life’, it is imperative that care homes are given clear advice on precautions to provide clean and safe environments for staff, residents and their visitors to protect them.
A precise focus on cleaning and infection control is critical, alongside the appropriate social distancing and use of PPE, to ensure staff and residents are kept safe. The most thorough process involves an initial deep clean of the entire area, followed by an increase in the frequency and thoroughness of regular cleaning.
That is especially important for high-touch surfaces such as tables, handles, door buttons, arm rests and toilets, and should be done following a three-step methodology: clean, disinfect and test.
