Evaluation of terminal cleaning using ATP methodology: comparison of bleach and quaternary ammonium compound plus biguanide
Introduction: Distinct protocols can be used to clean the hospital environment. Methods: This study evaluated cleaning protocols composed of either a quaternary ammonium compound plus biguanide (QACB) or bleach only using the ATP too. Results: No statistical difference was found (P=0.450) between Q...

Introduction: Distinct protocols can be used to clean the hospital environment. Methods: This study evaluated cleaning protocols composed of either a quaternary ammonium compound plus biguanide (QACB) or bleach only using the ATP too. Results: No statistical difference was found (P=0.450) between QACB and bleach protocols, both being effective in hospital wards cleaning. Conclusions: either the use of QACB or bleach protocols ensure appropriate cleaning in health care, promoting a safe environment for patient use.
