It covers waste and disposable restocking (soap, lotion, paper towels, sharps removal when two-thirds full), proper hand hygiene, and a step-by-step cleaning pathway: high dusting of lights and vents; disinfecting high-touch points including doorknobs, frames, hinges, light switches, nurse call cords, chairs, desks, countertops, drawer pulls, sinks, faucets, and vanities; cleaning mirrors and spot-cleaning walls; and wiping garbage cans inside and out. It also prompts timely rag changes, floor care with dust mopping, wet floor signage, wet mopping with microfiber heads, and vacuuming carpets.
