Environmental cleaning is an integral element of nosocomial infection prevention. The aim of our study is to determine the efficacy of environmental cleaning practices by estimating the microbial contamination of high touch surfaces in an ICU. We used sodium hypochlorite disinfectant and followed one cloth with one dip on a single surface in one direction technique. Sixty-one pre-cleaning and post-cleaning samples each were collected demonstrating a decrease in bioburden from 59% to 8%. Thus, we report a detailed account on the cleaning protocols practiced in a resource limited setting which are efficient and cost effective.
