Healthcare Workers Cleaning Responsibilities
Healthcare workers assist in the outbreak cleaning process and must ensure the preparation of terminal cleaning of the isolation room for the cleaner.
The outbreak cleaning process occurs following the withdrawal of infection control isolation precautions or a resident's transfer, death, or discharge.
The Process
Wear transmission-based PPE appropriate to the specified outbreak 
Strip the bed and clean with neutral detergent, diluted to the manufactures instructions, using a yellow cleaning cloth and equipment
Place used linen in a yellow linen bag and handle linen as little as possible, with minimum movement, to prevent microbial contamination of the air
Fill linen bags only to 3/4 full, then tie them securely and place them inside the doorway for removal
Dispose of all sharps into a yellow contaminated sharps container
All rubbish is to be disposed of into the yellow hazardous waste bag at the point of generation
Unused disposable items, such as sealed packs of gauze squares, dressing packs, etc., must be disposed of into clinical waste before leaving the room
Medical equipment, e.g., such as stethoscopes, sphygmomanometers, thermometers, etc., must be wiped over with a neutral detergent which has been diluted according to the manufacturer's instructions and then wiped dry
Notify the cleaner that a final clean is required, waste and linen have been bagged appropriately and are ready for removal
