San Diego’s Making Strides Against Breast Cancer Kick Off Breakfast

By: Briana Smith, WAXIE Sanitary Supply

Yesterday I had the honor, along with several of my fellow WAXIE coworkers, to attend the American Cancer Society's Making Strides Kick Off Breakfast at the Town & Country Hotel in San Diego, CA.

WAXIE is a proud flagship sponsor in San Diego and a member of the National Partners Program of the American Cancer Society’s Making Strides Walk. Each time I attend a meeting, donate at a fundraising event or participate in the annual Walk I’m struck by the generosity of people who are trying to be a part of something bigger in helping others. Often people they have never met.

Cleaning Frequencies: Who Cleans This and How Often?

The cleaning (removing soil) and disinfection (killing bacteria and viruses) of furniture, floors and touch points is vitally important in any facility. Germs live in a moist, warm environment and making sure all surfaces are cleaned properly and frequently will minimize their spread and improve health.

In some facilities, there is confusion over who cleans what and how often. For instance, too often in hospitals, housekeeping thinks the nurses clean a surface, and nurses think those surfaces are cleaned by housekeeping. In reality, it doesn't get done. The question we need to answer is, "Who cleans this and how often is it cleaned?"
