Infection Control Expert, Elizabeth Gillespie, from Southern Health presents the benefits of steam and infection control.

“In 2011 we began a project reviewing cleaning methodologies for managing patients with VRE. We stumbled across the developing evidence for using microfibre cloth and steam sanitation in clinical environments. A literature review identified the advantages of both technologies.

We trialled both cleaning methods within aged care and acute care settings. The technologies tested have significant advantages including reducing our environmental footprint, reducing OH&S risks, better cleaning outcomes and considerable time savings. “ - Elizabeth Gillespie
