Cleaning verification products

Invisible/UV revealing petroleum jelly markers glow brightly under UV blacklight to verify compliance of housekeepers with cleaning protocols by confirming whether or not a surface has been cleaned.

Ideal for use on a routine basis as part of quality assurance programmes for housekeeping throughout healthcare facilities.

Procedure

• When applying to a surface for the first time, test ease of removal using your specified cleaning product and procedure.
• Apply UV Glow Wax to surfaces scheduled for cleaning. It will be virtually invisible and only revealed upon exposure to UV light, when it will glow either blue or red.
• Inspect under UV light to check for application.
• Following scheduled cleaning, re-inspect under UV light to determine if UV Glow Wax has been removed.
• Complete removal indicates GOOD quality of cleaning and compliance with cleaning protocol.
• Partial or non removal indicates POOR quality of cleaning and non compliance with cleaning protocol.

An ultraviolet visible marker (UVM) was used to assess the cleaning compliance of housekeeping staff for toilets in a tertiary healthcare setting.

This study demonstrated the value of using UVM as a means of monitoring compliance with housekeeping cleaning protocols for all patients regardless of whether they were on isolation precautions or not. Furthermore, it concluded that UVM monitoring would provide a valuable control for clinical evaluations of intervention agents since the UVM would allow more reliable assessment of housekeeping compliance with the cleaning protocol. It recommended that UVM monitoring be used on a routine basis as part of the quality assurance program for housekeeping throughout a healthcare facility.
