Monash Health (formerly Southern Health) is undergoing a major change in environmental cleaning. The technology being implemented across the entire health service uses microfibre and steam and is based on the findings of a pilot study conducted at Monash Health in 2011. This was undertaken in a 32 bed acute ward and a 60 bed aged care ward and the details of the pilot have been published elsewhere.¹
