Uncarpeted floors are cleaned daily or as needed with an EPA registered disinfectant. Carpeted floors should be vacuumed daily or as needed according to manufacturer's recommendations. Procedures should be spelled out concerning disinfecting carpets that contain blood. The vacuum cleaner should be one that does not add airborne organisms to the environment. Change filters as needed.
Bathroom is cleaned daily or as needed.
Remember that this area of the patient's room may contain high concentrations of body fluids that may neutralize the disinfectant being used. Sanitary procedures are performed with common sense in mind. Drapes are examined for body fluids or soiling. They do not have to be removed from isolation rooms once the patient has either recovered or been placed in a different locale unless body soils are visible. Drapes have never been implicated in cross contamination of patients.
