Disinfection Process for Hospital Floors
Using the 3 bucket system
Bucket 1: Diluted Disinfectant / Cleaning solution
Bucket 2: Rinsing water
Bucket 3: Wastewater
Clean Solution Bucket — Fill the first, clean bucket with the disinfectant cleaning solution SAC S 125. Using your mop, soak it in the solution.
Waste Bucket – Squeeze any surplus cleaning solution from your mop into the waste bucket.
Mop – Using mopping, apply the solution to the surface in zig zag method. Waste Bucket — For the second time, squeeze the wastewater into the waste bucket.
Rinse your mop in the third bucket, which has been filled with rinsing water
Squeeze excess rinsing solution into the waste bucket
Repeat the mopping process.
For hospital wards with beds, use the 8-pattern of mopping, also called zig zag mopping
• The direction of cleaning in healthcare facilities must be from the clean to the dirty area
• In closed spaces like a ward the direction should be from within outwards
• Before cleaning with SAC S 125, blood, body fluids should be wiped off
• Mop the floors with a mop (keep separate mops for OTs/ high risk areas)
• Dip scrubber / sponge / cloth in SAC S 125 solution to disinfect tables, cots, walls and other surfaces of high risk areas
• Clean more frequently based on footfalls / change of patients
• The direction of cleaning must be from the clean (least soiled) to the dirty area (most soiled)
• An area of 100 to 120sqft should be mopped before re-dipping the mop in the solution
• Never shake mops
• Do not ‘double-dip’ mops (dip the mop only once in the cleaning solution, as dipping it multiple times may re contaminate it)
• Use wet floor or caution signs to prevent injuries
• Mop in a systematic manner, proceed from area far from the exit and work towards the exit
• Clean hands and use hand sanitiser on leaving the room
