09. Cleaning protocol
Regular cleaning is an important practice for a healthy indoor environment. On the other hand, cleaning chemicals and improper techniques can undermine indoor air quality. An adequate cleaning regimen using non-toxic, hypoallergenic cleaners helps reduce bioloads, pests, environmental allergens and unpleasant odors without chemicals that might adversely impact indoor air quality.
This feature incorporates the development of a written protocol, in accordance with Appendix Table A4, including the frequency, supplies and equipment, procedures and training to improve cleaning regimens.
Part 1: Cleaning Plan for Occupied Spaces
To achieve sufficient and regular removal of debris and pathogenic microorganisms, a cleaning plan is created in accordance to Appendix Table A4 and presented during staff trainings that includes the following elements:
a) A list of high-touch and low-touch surfaces in the space (see Appendix Table A1).
b) A schedule that specifies, for each high-touch and low-touch surface, the extent and frequency (e.g. daily, weekly) that a surface be cleaned, sanitized or disinfected.
c) Cleaning protocol and dated cleaning logs are maintained and available to all occupants.
Part 2: (PENDING) Cleanable Fabrics
Routine high temperature washings are possible for the following, and undertaken if pests are detected:
a) All non-leather movable upholstered furniture.
b) All mattresses and pillows.
