Floors are the largest surface in a healthcare facility. They are considered non-critical, but they accumulate soil, body fluids and microorganisms brought in by the movement of patients and staff. A simple protocol, using a concentrated detergent-disinfectant, allows cleaning and disinfection in a single pass, with controlled product consumption.
In short
- Romanian MoH Order 1761/2021 recommends wiping for routine and terminal disinfection of surfaces.
- Biosept Floor and Bionet A15 are diluted between 0.25% and 5%, depending on the intended effect; the application rate is 40 mL of working solution per m².
- Use a dedicated mop for each risk area and work from the clean area towards the dirty area.
Choose the concentration according to the intended effect
For Biosept Floor and Bionet A15 (MoH authorisation no. 4449BIO/02/12.30, PT2), the authorisation sets different concentrations and contact times for each effect:
| Effect | Setting | Concentration | Contact time |
|---|---|---|---|
| Bactericidal (EN 13727) | Healthcare facilities | 1% (100 mL / 10 L) | 5 minutes |
| Yeasticidal (EN 13624) | Healthcare facilities | 1% (100 mL / 10 L) | 5 minutes |
| Virucidal (EN 14476), extended to enveloped viruses | Healthcare facilities | 2% (200 mL / 10 L) | 60 minutes |
| Fungicidal (EN 13624) | Surfaces not in contact with patients | 2% (200 mL / 10 L) | 60 minutes |
| Bactericidal, fungicidal, virucidal | Public and private premises other than healthcare | 0.25% (25 mL / 10 L) | 60 minutes |
| Mycobactericidal | Public and private premises other than healthcare | 2% (200 mL / 10 L) | 90 minutes |
How much product you need
The application rate in the authorisation is 40 mL of working solution per m². For a 250 m² corridor:
| Calculation | Result |
|---|---|
| Working solution: 250 m² × 40 mL/m² | 10 L |
| Product at 1%: 10 L × 10 mL/L | 100 mL |
| Product at 2%: 10 L × 20 mL/L | 200 mL |
The method, step by step
- Remove solid debris and coarse soil.
- Prepare the working solution in a clean, labelled container, with water and the amount of product matching the chosen concentration.
- Work by risk area, with mops and cloths dedicated to each area (colour coding), from the clean area towards the dirty area and from the far end towards the exit.
- Apply the solution evenly by wiping and leave it to act for the full contact time.
- Change the solution when it becomes soiled and when moving to a different risk area.
- Record the operation, product and concentration in the room schedule.
Common mistakes
- Overdosing “to be safe”: it increases consumption and residues without shortening the contact time.
- The same bucket for the washroom and the ward.
- Force-drying the floor before the contact time has elapsed.
- Confusing Biosept Floor (applied by wiping) with a spray product.
Frequently asked questions
Is Biosept Floor suitable for walls?
Yes. The authorisation covers disinfection and washing of surfaces, including walls and floors, in healthcare facilities and in industrial, domestic and institutional premises.
Do I need to rinse after application?
Follow the label instructions and the facility’s procedure. For surfaces in contact with food, specific food-area rules apply.
What is the difference between Biosept Floor and Bionet A15?
Both products share the same authorisation basis (4449BIO/02/12.30). Biosept Floor is formulated as a degreasing detergent-disinfectant, applied by wiping; Bionet A15 can be applied by wiping or spraying.
