Myth Busting - Cleaning Chemistries for

OR & SPD Teams

ISSUE NO. 858

Keeping up with cleaning chemistries can feel like a moving target. New products, developing guidelines, and long-standing assumptions often blur the line between fact and fiction. That’s why Healthmark published “Myth Busting – Cleaning Chemistries for OR & SPD Teams” to help clarify what really matters for your department.


The article tackles some of the biggest myths we hear daily: Are all enzymatic cleaners the same? Does more detergent mean better cleaning? Once your washer is installed, will the dosing ratio change? This article also addresses common misconceptions like assuming cleaning chemistry can run on autopilot, or that point-of-use treatment must involve enzymatic solutions.


The takeaway is clear: myths around cleaning chemistries can hinder progress in sterile processing. By following AAMI and AORN recommendations and evaluating performance with objective data, your team can make informed, sustainable choices.
