Why is Environmental Cleaning important?
CDC: "When visible soiling of surfaces" (e.g., tables, floors, walls, ceilings, lights) "or equipment occurs during an operation, an Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)-approved hospital disinfectant should be used to decontaminate the affected areas before the next operation. This is in keeping with the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) requirement that all equipment and environmental surfaces be cleaned and decontaminated after contact with blood or other potentially infectious materials."
