Simple Hygiene Tips

Following hygiene routines is always important, especially when we care for someone that is more vulnerable to illnesses and can more easily become infected. Here are a few simple tips in how to avoid cross infection during care routines.

Practice thorough hand hygiene before and after care routines
Wear disposable gloves / apron if possible and wash / disinfect hands before and after use
Discard apron / gloves after every care instance
Avoid wearing jewellery on your hands and wrists (e.g. rings, watches) to avoid any contamination
Wear short sleeves, to make it easier to follow proper hand hygiene
Clean any spills or dirt up straightaway using disinfectant
Do regular cleaning of areas in the house where indirect transmission could occur: door handles, toilet system, handrails etc
