Places and rules for storing cleaning equipment for toilets Gigtest

According to SanPiN and Gigtest, certain requirements are imposed on toilet cleaning equipment. This applies to storage conditions, location and labeling rules.

Toilet cleaning equipment

Everything that is used for cleaning bathrooms must be stored correctly and organized. This is exactly the answer given by Gigtest regarding storage, organization of space, and labeling.

Compound

It is allowed to use only toilet cleaning equipment and a set of disinfectants that have safety documents. The following must also be stored:

• bucket for cleaning floors;
• bucket for cleaning walls;
• rags in the form of floor rags;
• sink rags;
• brush or broom;
• brush;
• napkins for wiping surfaces;
• garbage bags.

Today, carts with various functionality are increasingly being purchased, which simplify work, since there is no need to manually drag buckets, mops, and detergents.

Where should it be stored?

An isolated, well-ventilated place is selected for the equipment. For this purpose, a separate room is allocated, an individual closet with shelves.

In addition, there should be a sink or bathtub nearby with access to cold and hot water, a drainage device and a drying register on which already washed cleaning equipment can be dried.

How should it be stored?

Storage is carried out separately from other cleaning items. All equipment must be noticeably marked in the form of appropriate inscriptions, tags, and color differences.

Moreover, the markings and signal coloring must be clear, facing the personnel.

How to label cleaning equipment

Inscriptions are placed on buckets and other containers; those used for cleaning the toilet are marked UB. The handle of the mop is marked with paint. Modern devices are equipped with special caps of a certain color.

Pieces of a certain color are sewn onto one of the corners of the rag, in this case red. It is this coloring that indicates that the equipment is used in rooms characterized by severe bacterial contamination.

Cleaning equipment for medical institutions

Special requirements apply to the storage of medical equipment.

Compound

The set of cleaning equipment is selected taking into account the area to be processed and the specialization of the medical institution. But there is a mandatory set, including:

• detergents and disinfectants;
• napkins, sponges, rags for cleaning floors;
• mop, broom, brush;
• buckets, containers for washing walls, mops (washing attachments);
• brushes, plungers for cleaning toilets.

At the same time, according to the rules established by SanPin, individual equipment is used for each room.It is impossible to use the same rag, as there may be cross-contamination and the risk of potential infection by pathogenic microbes.

Where should it be stored?

Equipment is stored in a separate room adjacent to the bathroom. Washed and disinfected rags are also dried there. The room must have a cabinet or rack on which detergents are laid out.

How should it be stored?

Items intended for cleaning are stored only in their pure form. They are thoroughly washed, disinfected, and put in their places. Detergents are placed in a container; all bottles must be closed, in the manufacturer’s containers with the labels intact.

Cleaning mixtures, auxiliary products, including disinfectants, must be segmented. Ready-to-use solutions must be stored separately.

The rags are washed and disinfected, they are pre-dried, and then placed on a specific shelf. Mops, brooms, and buckets are stored separately, and they are also dried first.

Labeling of medical equipment

Cleaning equipment in medical institutions must be labeled. Color classifications:

• white marks are placed on sterile objects;
• Objects for treating particularly contaminated areas are marked red, as a rule, these are bathrooms and utility rooms;
• green is intended for cleaning in industrial and common areas;
• A blue mark marks the equipment for areas where there is minimal risk - these are wards, resident rooms.

Markings can also be in the form of inscriptions, but they are most often placed on buckets, mops, and brooms.

Instructions for cleaning the toilet

All cleaning activities are carried out exclusively in protective clothing.They begin work by collecting garbage from the trash can and replacing the bags with clean ones. Then, if necessary, toilet paper rolls and disposable towels are replaced.

To prepare for washing and disinfecting the toilet, first clean the inner surface with a brush and disinfectant. Afterwards the outside of the plumbing is washed. At the end, everything is wiped with a clean cloth soaked in disinfectant.

The sink and faucet with taps are cleaned and rubbed dry. Then they move on to large surfaces: walls, doors, and door handles must be carefully processed. The final stage is washing the floors using detergent.
