Ambulance Cleaning and Disinfection

Amongst the many major challenges within a hospital environment is to reduce the level of opportunities for cross contamination and therefore they need to establish some preventative methods for reducing contaminates from being introduced to the hospital environment from outside sources.

It has been established that one key area that needs to be addressed is the cleaning and decontamination of the ambulance units. Cleanitise is the perfect product for ambulance cleaning and disinfection.

These units are in almost continuous use and transport many different patients who are suffering with a multitude of illnesses and injuries.

The first line of defence requires the areas that have been in contact with each patient should be sanitised using Cleanitise in conjunction with micro fibre systems.

The ambulance unit should also receive a regular decontamination of all internal surfaces using Cleanitise through a fogging system as shown in the Cleanitise ambulance cleaning and disinfection video.

Swabs are taken prior to fogging in order to establish the level of contamination and these can be established immediately with a hand held reader as well as a visual audit using the Black Light technology.

The Cleanitise ambulance cleaning and disinfection fogging system is highly effective as its fine vapour accesses all surfaces and fixtures and fittings killing all surface bacteria leaving the ambulance contaminate free. Care must be taken to always ware safety glasses and a face mask when using the fogging machine.

Upon completion of the ambulance cleaning and decontamination process swabs are re taken and checked again using both the hand held unit and Black Light system enabling the operatives to confirm that the ambulance unit is fit for service immediately without the delay of waiting for laboratory test results.
