• A ducted vacuum cleaning system can also be used, as long as safe venting of the exhaust air
is ensured.

• Damp dusting using a lint-free cloth is essential. Brooms disperse dust and bacteria into the
air, and should not be used in patient or clinical areas. Dust-retaining mops, which are

specially treated or manufactured to attract and retain dust particles, do not increase airborne
counts as much as ordinary brooms and remove more dust from surfaces. However, brooms

and dust-retaining mops should not be used in clinical areas where there is a high risk of

infection associated with dust (for example, burns units).
• All cleaning solutions should be prepared immediately before use.

• Work surfaces should be cleaned (wiped over) with a neutral detergent and warm water
solution, rinsed and dried before and after each session, or when visibly soiled. Spills should

be cleaned up as soon as practical.
• When a disinfectant is required for surface cleaning, the manufacturer’s recommendations for

use, and workplace health and safety instructions should be followed.

• Buckets should be emptied after use, washed with detergent and warm water, rinsed in hot
water and stored dry (turned upside down).
