CloroxPro Blog – Professional Cleaning and Disinfection Insights

Last month, we featured interviews with EVS to gain real insight into how they protect against hospital-acquired infections. Ensuring the use of safe and effective infection prevention and control measures is a critical component of nursing care. While there may not be a so-called “typical” day for a nurse in hospital, when you are caring for both patients and their environment, what are some of the challenges and solutions? Nurse Justyna G. shares some insights into her experiences.

Q: What’s a day like in the hospital?

A: “A day in the life of a nurse can be quite busy and full of unexpected events. It can also be full of emotions, the fear of potentially holding someone’s life in your hands to the joy of bringing new life into the world. Our days are in a fast-paced environment, and we need to make sure that we protect ourselves, our patients and our visitors.”

Q: How do you protect your hospital to ensure that it is clean and safe for staff, patients and visitors when they stay and visit?

A: “A big component of protection is making sure we have the right materials to provide that protection. From alcohol-based hand rub to Clorox bleach wipes for cleaning and disinfecting surfaces, having the right product available provides me and my colleagues with the knowledge that we are getting the right level of protection.”

Q: Please share your experience with using ready-to-use wipes compared to a dilution-controlled system in clinical areas.

A: “As a nurse on unit, when I have a patient with a potential enteric virus, having the Clorox ready-to-use wipes available is a major reassurance. The wipes make cleaning equipment and the environment easy and not time-consuming. When you are in a constantly fast-paced environment, time is very important. It is also reassuring that I will prevent the spread of infections to others and not bring dangerous pathogens home to my loved ones.”
