METHODS
Biocleaning: vapor phase chlorine, alcohol wipes, tack cloths
TechniquesSurface modification
RESULTS
86% (248/288) environmental surface samples < 1 CFU
99% (284/288) surface samples < 25 CFU93% (27/29) air samples < 50 CFU/m3Demonstrated methodology can
significantly reduce exposure to infective, allergenic, toxic microorganisms
