Cleaning and Disinfectants for Health Facilities

Cleaning Health Facilities

Maintaining cleanliness in healthcare facilities is not just about appearance; it’s essential for preventing the spread of infections and ensuring patient and staff safety. At BIOVISTA PHARMA, we provide hospital-grade cleaning products and services tailored to meet the stringent hygiene standards required in medical environments.

Importance of Medical Cleaning

Using the right cleaning and disinfectant products is critical for:

  • Preventing healthcare-associated infections (HAIs): These include blood infections, urinary tract infections, and pneumonia caused by contaminated medical devices or surfaces.
  • Ensuring thorough removal of germs: Effective cleaning minimizes bacteria, viruses, spores, and other microbes from surfaces.
  • Maintaining a safe environment: Protects patients, staff, and visitors from harmful pathogens.

Cleaning, Disinfecting, and Sanitizing: What’s the Difference?

  • Cleaning: Removes visible dirt, debris, and organic matter from surfaces.
  • Disinfecting: Kills pathogens, bacteria, and viruses on surfaces, ensuring they are safe for contact.
  • Sanitizing: Reduces the number of germs to a safe level but may not completely eliminate them.

The selection of cleaning products depends on the specific needs of the facility. Commonly used products include:
