Cleaning the bathroom area in hospitals
The cleaning of the bathing area in hospitals should be treated with effective products against germs and with an adequate frequency.
Baths or toilets are commonly known to be one of the spaces that houses a greater number of germs.
In the case of hospital restrooms, in particular, the risk of germination proliferation is even greater. This makes hygiene and disinfection even more important in these spaces.
Thus, in hospitals, nursing homes or medical centers, toilets should be cleaned at least once a day or whenever deemed necessary.
If working with cleaning carts, they must be placed in the entrance blocking the passage. In the same way that happens with the rooms, the entrance of the cars to the zone of the bathroom is prohibited.

Cleaning the walls of bathrooms in hospitals
The walls of the bathrooms will be sanitized once a month always from top to bottom and respecting from cleaner to dirtier.
First, a scrub will be applied (never cleaned dry) with a bactericidal detergent.
The rinse will be done with the double bucket system (one bucket for scrubbing with the cleaning solution and another for rinsing with clean water).
Drying will help us to prevent the proliferation of germs that sometimes arise from humid environments.
Cleaning of toilets in hospital bathrooms
The toilets of hospitals, nursing homes or medical centers will be sanitized a minimum of twice a day.
As with all other surfaces, cleaning will be done wet and inside out. To ensure proper disinfection, we will use a non-corrosive liquid bactericide.
Following this line, the material chosen for cleaning should avoid scratches and be exclusive for cleaning and disinfection of toilets.
Thus, we will avoid cross contamination problems.
Cleaning of showers and bathtubs in hospitals
The cleaning and disinfection of showers and bathtubs will be carried out twice a day, also using the inside out method.
As with sanitary ware, we will opt for a liquid bactericide capable of killing bacteria effectively, but of a non-corrosive nature to avoid damaging surfaces.
The material used must avoid scratches so that the scourers or other tools of great hardness will be vetoed.
Cleaning of shower screens in hospitals
It is increasingly common to replace shower curtains with screens. The first houses a smaller amount of germs and their cleaning is more comfortable than that offered by the curtains.
In this way, the screens will be sanitized twice a day with a suitable glass cleaner and using the rubbing technique.
Cleaning shower curtains in hospitals
There are showers or bathtubs that have a curtain instead of a screen. In these cases we must pay special attention to the possible appearance of black spots. These are usually mold remains inhabited by fungi.
As the curtains are in constant contact with moisture, we will clean and disinfect them whenever necessary.
In this case, we will apply bleach using the rubbing technique and rinse the shower curtain correctly.
Cleaning the floors of bathrooms in hospitals
Floors tend to be more punished than walls. Therefore, we will clean and disinfect them more frequently: twice a day.
Again, we will use the double-bucket method with a disinfectant detergent to kill as many germs as possible.
