What is surface ATP testing?
ATP testing is a way to measure the cleanliness of a surface. ATP stands for adenosine triphosphate, an energy molecule. The test measures whether or not a surface can support the growth of bacteria and other pathogens. The lower the result, the less likely it is that bacteria and pathogens can survive on the surface.
What is the purpose of ATP testing?
The ATP test measures how well a surface has been cleaned in terms of the removal of organic contamination. This is not a test of sterility as sterility can only be achieved in closed environments. ATP testing provides the quickest method to measure cleaning of organic contamination.
How is ATP used to monitor surface cleanliness?
To measure ATP, a sample is collected from a surface or water via a swab and placed in a reading device, a luminometer. ATP monitors deliver data using bioluminescence, read as a Relative Light Unit (RLU). The higher the RLU, the greater the risk of potential contamination.
How accurate is ATP testing?
Therefore, ATP measurement seems a reliable method for measuring surface contamination. ATP measurement can be used to give a quantifiable outcome for the rating of cleanliness in facilities, however it should not be used to interpret microbial contamination directly.
When should ATP testing be conducted?
For the absolute best results, ATP testing should usually be performed just after you've cleaned a particular surface or piece of equipment, but before the sanitation process has begun in earnest.
What is the most common bacteria found on restroom surfaces?
- According to most research, the most common bacteria found on restroom surfaces is Staphylococcus (Staph), particularly Staphylococcus aureus, which is commonly present on human skin and can easily transfer to surfaces like door handles, faucets, and toilet seats in bathrooms. Other common bacteria found in restrooms include:
- E. coli: A fecal bacteria that can be present on toilet seats and other surfaces due to improper hand hygiene.
- Streptococcus: Another common skin bacteria that can be found on various bathroom surfaces.
- Pseudomonas aeruginosa: Can be present in moist environments like shower stalls.
- Enterococcus faecalis: A bacteria often found in fecal matter.
- yeast and mold.
- Hepatitis A virus
- Salmonella
- In a restroom environment, Proteus mirabilis can cause urinary tract infections (UTIs) and form biofilms on catheters, which can lead to encrusted devices and infection stones. Found particularly on toilet seats.
What kind of disinfectant do you use on surfaces?
We use Hypochlorous acid (HOCL) It kills 99.9% of germs and is on the EPA’s List N, the disinfectants approved for use against SARS-CoV-2, the cause of COVID-19. It's powerful and safe enough for homes, schools and businesses. It easily penetrates cell walls and reacts quickly to pathogens such as viruses, bacteria, fungi, mold, mildew, and biofilm growing in the environment.
What's the Surface Purge Quartet system?
The Surface Purge Quartet system is a systematic cleaning process we follow designed to enhance cleaning and disinfecting practices in commercial facilities, particularly in restrooms using advanced equipment & technology regularly.
How do the Surface Purge Quartet system improve restroom hygiene?
The Surface Purge Quartet system improves restroom hygiene by implementing a structured approach based on CDC and AORN standards. This process involves verifying cleanliness through same day inspections. By following these steps, the process ensures high-touch areas are regularly disinfected, reducing the risk of pathogen transmission and maintaining a hygienic environment.
Do you give free estimates?
Yes we do!
