Spring into Clean: Tips for Your Sterile

Processing Department

ISSUE NO. 824

As the new season unfolds, many of us are already thinking about spring cleaning – whether it’s tidying up our homes, organizing the kitchen pantry, or freshening up our cars. But why stop there? Spring is the perfect time to give your Sterile Processing Department (SPD) the same attention and care. 


Here are three simple tips to help you spring clean in your SPD:


Review and Reinforce Cleaning Protocols: Just like you would check your home’s cleaning schedule, take this opportunity to revisit and update your department's cleaning procedures. Ensure your team is aligned with the latest infection control guidelines and best practices.


Organize and Declutter Workspaces: A clean and organized environment leads to better efficiency. Declutter your workspace, ensure all equipment is properly stored, and remove any outdated or unnecessary supplies that may be taking up valuable space.


Update Your Cleaning Tools: Consider adding the Durasponge to your spring-cleaning routine. The Durasponge is available flat or tubular, and is designed for effective cleaning of sensitive items, fixtures, and all general surfaces. The tubular Durasponge is perfect for cleaning the external surfaces of tubular items.


Spring cleaning isn’t just for your home; it's the perfect time to give your SPD a fresh start. To help with your spring-cleaning efforts, visit the feature section below and request a complimentary sample of the Durasponge today.
