When my wife was in the hospital, I set out with bathroom cleaner to clean her entire room, floor, whatever on a daily basis.
I think the biggest problem is all the medical personnel running from room to room. In a given day I wouldn’t be surprised if there weren’t 30 different people coming in.
BLEACH cleaning cloths...did it when my husband had his knee partially replaced last June. I wiped every surface he might touch down. They drag those buckets of dirty mop water from room to room. Floor to floor.
I was in the hospital for 6 weeks once. I was shocked by the lax ways my room was cleaned every day. Until then, I had no idea how germ-infested hospitals were. I had thought they would be bastions of cleanliness.
My Dad died from a hospital-acquired infection.
