What is the general daily cleaning procedure at a veterinary hospital (Vets)?
To give you a general idea, it might vary practice to practice though… Daily hoovering and cleaning of all floors. Morning and evening cleaning of kennels (and as required during day). Cleaning of all consulting rooms – tables, scales, cupboards, doors after each session of appointments (morning, afternoon and evening). Cleaning of theatre and prep rooms before procedures start, in between each operation or examination and a last thorough clean at the end of the day. Daily sterilising of used instruments in the autoclave. Wipe down of reception area and chairs. Mopping accidents as required. Wash hands in between handling animals with something like Hibiscrub. Use gloves if needed especially when dealing with blood, urine and faeces and exotic species. Cleaning obviously involves using disinfectant, usually with paper towel so it can be thrown away when finished. Anything that has come into contract with blood, muscous, urine or faeces goes into clinical waste, anything else in house
