It is often assumed that clean is clean. A surface which was once filled with harmful bacteria, viruses, and molds is now safe because someone cleaned it. But what if it wasn't? What happens if the products being used are expired, watered down, or ineffective? Or if those entrusted to clean are actually doing it correctly? Did you know that 80% of diseases such as MRSA, staph, ringworm, C. diff, influenza, e. coli, and more are transmitted on surfaces?
What if you could know exactly what remains on the surface after the product has dried? Enspra helps you answer these questions and more. Our Cleaning Process Audits help to uncover and define weak points in your system. Reports with definitive numbers showing trends of microbial counts on high touch surfaces help to establish a true picture of where your facility or fleet stand, putting you in better control.
You may be asking why this is important and why you need to have access to this data. Below are a few examples:
Scenario 1: You are the director for a senior living community. Recently, one of your residents contracted MRSA and now 13 of them are infected; 6 were transferred to a skilled nursing facility, one is in LTAC. You follow proper protocols and had the cleaning team disinfect your community to keep the remaining population healthy. Are you absolutely certain that it was effective and will help to prevent further spread?
Scenario 2: You run a public transportation company and have hired crews at all of your garages to clean and disinfect the various modes of transportation that your city offers. You know that you are doing your part to ensure the health and safety of your operators and riders. But is the processes and products they used effective? Is this a safer environment for your operators, maintenance workers, and riders?
Scenario 3: You are an administrator at your local hospital. You've noticed an uptick in readmission rates for staph infections. You want to address this situation and pin point if it could be environmental while in facility. But where do you start?
These are just three scenarios in which knowing that the processes, products, and people are doing what they are intended to keep those in your charge safe and healthy. How would access to trends in microbe numbers help you to determine which products are working better than others?
