Cleanliness in hospitals, clinics and nursing homes is important to maintain a good image, but above all to prevent infections and ensure the safety of patients and staff. However, some common mistakes can compromise these goals. At La Mar de Net, specialists in professional cleaning in Barcelona, Maresme and Granollers, we know the importance of keeping these spaces impeccable.
Today we tell you what the most frequent mistakes are and how to avoid them.
1. Not following specific protocols for each area
The problem
In hospitals and nursing homes, each space has different needs. Applying the same protocol in all areas can lead to ineffective cleaning.
The Solution
- It establishes differentiated protocols for critical areas (operating rooms, bathrooms) and non-critical areas (offices, waiting rooms).
- Conducts regular training for cleaning staff.
At La Mar de Net, we design personalized protocols that comply with the most demanding health regulations.
2. Using the wrong products or in the wrong doses
The problem
The use of non-approved or poorly diluted products reduces the effectiveness of cleaning and increases risks.
The Solution
- Opt for products approved for medical use, effective against bacteria, viruses and fungi.
- Follow the directions for use and concentration.
3. Neglecting frequent touch points
The problem
Switches, railings, and keyboards are critical areas that accumulate microorganisms and are often overlooked.
The Solution
- Perform daily cleaning of frequent touch points.
- Use single-use clothes or systems that guarantee disinfection.
4. Reuse cleaning tools without disinfecting them
The problem
Contaminated mops, rags, or sponges can spread microorganisms from one area to another.
The Solution
- Be sure to disinfect the tools after each use.

5. Ignoring proper ventilation
The problem
Poorly renewed air can accumulate bacteria and viruses in the environment.
