When the bed is occupied by the same patient, routine cleaning of the bed is generally sufficient to ensure a hygienic environment. Disinfection of the undercarriage is only necessary when it has been visibly contaminated with infectious or potentially infectious materials (blood, stool, pus) or, if in the presence of an infectious disease, under doctor’s orders.

  • Page 40: Cleaning And Disinfection Instructions

    5.2 CLEANING AND DISINFECTION INSTRUCTIONS • Remove bed linens and send them to the laundry service. • Clean all surfaces including the slatted bed frame and mattress base made from synthetic inserts or wire netting with a mild and environmentally friendly cleaning agent.

    Note: As a rule, aldehyde-based disinfection media have the advantage that they have a wide spectrum of impact, a relatively low protein effect and are environmentally friendly. The main disadvantage of these agents is their potential to cause allergies and irritation. Glucoprotamine-based formulations do not have this disadvantage and are equally effective although most are somewhat more expensive.
