  • Environmental Services Cleaning Guidebook
    Environmental Services Cleaning Guidebook Adapted from Allina Hospitals and Clinics Environmental Services Cleaning Guidebook by the Minnesota Hospital Association (MHA), Minnesota Department of Health (MDH) and Stratis Health, with representatives from: CentraCare Health – Melrose, Grand Itasca Clinic and Hospital, Minnesota Valley Health Center, Park Nicollet Methodist Hospital, United Hospital, University of Minnesota Medical Center, and Windom Area Hospital, as a part of the “Controlling CDI” project. 1 2 Introduction Clostridium difficile infection (CDI) is becoming more prevalent as a health care-associated infection, causing diarrhea that can lead to colitis, colon perforation, sepsis, and, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), is fatal in approximately 14,000 Americans annually. CDC guidelines have been in place nationally for at least five years, targeting antimicrobial stewardship, early identification and treatment, and the prevention of health care facility transmission. A recent study by Sitzlar, et al. (2013) suggested that effective cleaning coupled with staff supervision is a powerful method in decreasing the potential for CDI transmission in hospitals. The Minnesota Hospital Association (MHA), in conjunction with Stratis Health and the Minnesota Department of Health (MDH), has been working with seven Minnesota hospitals: CentraCare Health – Melrose, Grand Itasca Clinic and Hospital, Minnesota Valley Health Center, Park Nicollet Methodist Hospital, United Hospital - a part of Allina Health, University of Minnesota Medical Center, and Windom Area Hospital, to adapt the Allina Health System environmental cleaning training and supervision model for statewide dissemination. The accompanying environmental services cleaning guidebook and training presentation apply to general infection and control principles, with CDI specific recommendations included, such as bleach or other sporicidal disinfectants.

  • Eureka Vacuum Cleaner Circa 1923
    Donation of the Month Object: Circa 1923 Eureka Vacuum Cleaner Catalog #: 1983.9.1 Donor: Helen L. Horan What would it be like if every spring you had to remove all the rugs, drapes, and wall-to-wall carpeting in your house, place them over a rope hung outside, and beat them until all the dirt and dust were removed? Not much fun, right? This backbreaking activity was an annual chore for most American homemakers about a hundred years ago, when spring-cleaning time rolled around. As disruptive and tiring as it was, spring cleaning was a necessity in an era when many streets were unpaved and littered with manure, and wood or coal stoves and oil lamps filled homes with soot and ash. Each spring the entire house underwent a thorough cleaning: lamps were washed, wallpaper dusted, featherbeds left outside to air, stoves blacked (to prevent rust), and carpets removed for beating. In affluent homes, spring cleaning was done by servants. Most women, however, had to make do on their own, generally with the help of their daughters and neighborhood boys who could be hired for heavy lifting. Housekeeping was tough. One early home economist described spring cleaning as “an abomination of desolation” that “breaks women’s backs and causes men to break the Ten Commandments.” Another home-advice writer warned that “at the first onslaught all home comfort ends, and regular meals become irregular lunches, and a quiet night’s rest something sought but not found.” A turn-of-the-20th-century poem warned of the spring-cleaning homemaker, “fly from her presence, dog and cat / fly from her presence, man and mouse / it is the vernal frenzy that possesses her / she’s cleaning the house.” Even poet Emily Dickinson once wrote, “House is being ‘cleaned,’ I prefer pestilence.” The birth of the vacuum cleaner is due to a number of advancements in science and technology brought about by the Industrial Revolution.
