Disinfection requirements for cleaning pharmacy floors with hand-free mops

When cleaning the floor of a pharmacy, the disinfection of hand-free mops must strictly follow hygiene standards. The following are the specific disinfection requirements and analysis:

Daily disinfection

Floor disinfection: After the end of each business day, the floor of the pharmacy must be thoroughly cleaned and disinfected with disinfectant.

Mop disinfection: After using a mop, it should be disinfected immediately to prevent bacterial growth.

Disinfectant selection:

Disinfectants that have no impact on the medicine should be selected to prevent the medicine from being corroded or contaminated.

It is recommended to use chlorine-containing disinfectant with an effective chlorine concentration of 250mg/l or other disinfectants that meet hygiene standards.

Disinfection method:

Soaking disinfection: You can soak the mop head in diluted disinfectant solution to ensure that the disinfectant fully contacts the mop fibers, achieving a sterilization effect. The soaking time should be carried out in accordance with the instructions of the disinfectant, generally no less than the specified time.

Wiping and disinfection: For easily accessible parts such as the handle of the mop, disinfectant can be used for wiping and disinfection.

Disinfection record:

Pharmacies should establish a disinfection record system, documenting information such as the time of each disinfection, the type of disinfectant, and the disinfection personnel, to facilitate traceability and inspection.

Personal protection:

Cleaning staff should wear protective equipment such as masks and gloves during the disinfection process to ensure their own health and safety.

Ventilation and air exchange

After disinfection, it is necessary to ensure that the pharmacy environment is dry and well-ventilated to prevent medicines from getting damp or moldy.

Storage of mops

The disinfected mops should be stored in a dry and well-ventilated place to avoid recontamination.

Regular replacement

The mop head should be replaced regularly to avoid fiber wear and bacterial growth caused by long-term use.

Comprehensive cleaning

Before starting business every day, a thorough cleaning of the pharmacy's business premises is required, including the floor, walls, doors and Windows, counters, shelves, etc.

Disinfection of high-frequency contact areas

For items frequently touched by customers, such as cash registers, door handles, handrails, etc., disinfectants should be used for wiping and disinfection, and the frequency of disinfection should be increased.

Disinfection in special areas

Special areas such as the traditional Chinese medicine processing area and the decoction area need to be cleaned and disinfected according to their specific requirements to ensure standardized operations and prevent contamination of medicines.
