Airstel protocol?

Hi, forgot to add we turn off air conditioning unit in the room being 'bombed' 24 hours previously - literally lets the dust settle. Also, good idea to check out your air con filter system / last time it was de-fluffed etc as this can be a carrier of bugs galore which are then merrily spread into the environment!

That's great, thanks everyone :)

Cleaning first makes sense to me- I guess there could be some crazy zoonotic airborne disease that would require decontamination before entry to the room but it seems unlikely! I'll try to get a new operating procedure installed at work- wish me luck!

Thanks again.

Hi,

We steam clean, then deep clean (disinfect with scrubbing action) then bomb, then swab and culture to test results.

A cleanup seems to make more sense - if you think about all the germs hiding under the muck, a disinfectant can't kill what it can't reach!

We don't have and SOPs in place as such, but whenever we use them we do a deep clean first then bomb the room. Not sure if this is the way to do it - it's been a few years since I used them but I think that's what we were advised to do Hope this helps
