Chlorine tablets

In their Guidance Document, ‘Clostridium difficile infection: How to deal with the problem’, (January 2009) the Department of Health and the Health Protection Agency recommend the use of “…chlorine-containing cleaning agents (at least 1,000ppm available chlorine)…” for daily environmental cleaning of rooms or bed spaces, cleaning of all commodes, toilets and bathroom areas and for the ‘terminal cleaning’ of mattress, bed space, bay or ward areas associated with patients with Clostridium difficile infection.
