Gordon Brown has put aside £50 million for deep cleans in the NHS to combat MRSA. did you know that includes Dentist and health centres? Many of these will have just an old fashioned cleaning lady that will not know whats she is doing with MRSA.
here is part of an article that i just read
“MILLIONS of pounds is being spent on deep cleaning all Doncaster hospital wards and doctors' and dentists' surgeries in the fight against deadly infections
A spokeswoman for Doncaster and Bassetlaw Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust said £1.4 million had been allocated from Doncaster and Bassetlaw's Primary Care Trusts (PCTs) to pay for the work at Doncaster Royal Infirmary, Mexborough Montagu and Bassetlaw Hospital in Worksop.
She said work included changing curtains and cleaning soft furnishings, washing windows and doors and restoring floor surfaces to as close as possible to their original condition.”
So I think that we could be of help solving this problem the NHS has.
plus did you also know that, So far, fewer than one third of hospital trusts have begun their deep cleans, and that English hospitals will have to completed bug-busting by its April deadline.
I for one will be writting as sales letter to all my local heath centres. I'll post it on my blog later.

Good call Ian. Can you post you blog address when you do?

Great heads up Ian, well done.
Put this in with your letter. First rule- get attention.

So what constiutes a deep clean, from the news items I've seen, it looks petty basic and will achieve little. But there will be a millionaire or two created in the process.

I had same problem with Ians shared files I think you know have to go in through the blog. Also some files have been taken down

So if say some of us managed to get a peice of the Gordon Brown big cleanup would we be using the everyday chemicals we,re used to? Or given the fact that we,re dealing with MRSA hear are we going to need to ad anything else to the procedure,you know such as an anti-bac or some kind of disinfectant? does anyone hear clean doctors or dentists surgeries, cheers klinger ???

I've done quite well with GPs surgeries in the last year, I ise M Power and HWE on carpet tiles, the practice managers like the sound of M Power so that and spotters are all I use!.

Any chance you can post a link on here where it says PCTs are paying for deep cleans in surgeries as I can't find any myself on google.
Also I try to register on your blog thingy and no confirmation comes back so can't get into it. But then my head is not right at the moment so probably finger trouble.
Thanks

Surely the requirement is an all surface clean not just floors after all, cross contamination is not likely to come from floors, so the chemicals required are going to be alien to carpet cleaners, but the technology will be well known to some.
Don't think they'll be too keen to share !

I'm thinking of just talking to the bod in the PCT responsible for this and see what they say. It would be great if they say yeah carpets full of MRSA blast them and here's some PCT dosh. I know there are all sorts of issues at the moment with autoclaves and equipment.
My Mrs is a Dental Hygenist, she spoke to the practice manager and the Dentist and they never heard of this (awareness?) but what I do know is if they thought they would get more punters through the door then suddenly they are interested.

Not tried it, got any more info?

I would have thought that Prochem Microsan would be the choice product for this type of job, eliminates MRSA, E-coli, and loads of other viruses and bacteria can be used on carpets, and all other surfaces.
