I dunno about special cleaning but I use salt and vinegar to clean my copper-bottomed pans - both antimicrobial and both nontoxic and the pans are over 30 years old. Expense shouldn’t be an issue in hospitals, either. My DH’s recent non-fatal heart attack/stenting ran $100K, not including doctors. (thanks to medicare out of pocket about $1100, not including doctors)
No hospital is going to refit their hospital in copper hardware. No hospital ops manager is going to add vinegar and water to their maintenance protocols. Please, just stop.
They want to clean it, kill it, and move on. You have no idea of the time constraints these folks are under. They are not polishing anything except the floor. They are timed to the minute. Spending an extra ten seconds on thousands of doors in a hospital every day is a none starter.
Please, someone that works in hospital operations help me out with this.
Copper Cleaning: I use catsup/ketchup.
Hospitals do not bill the government for what those services are worth.
The government pays what it wants to pay.
That bill was a listing of what the hospital would normally charge.
It is nowhere near what it actually receives.
Most hospitals these days are barely scraping by.
