🚨 STOP! Spraying Viraclean on Instruments

Using Viraclean in Your Clinic?
Read This!
This week’s tip is coming straight from something I see regularly during clinical audits.
It’s one of those habits that often starts with good intentions — someone is trying to “disinfect” or “pre-clean” instruments before they go into the ultrasonic bath. But the product being used matters, and this is where I often see Viraclean being misused.

Tip of the Week

Let’s be clear:
Viraclean is a hard surface disinfectant.
It is not designed to be sprayed onto RMDs — or as we commonly call them, instruments — before they go into the ultrasonic bath.

This is a big steri workflow reminder because using the wrong product in the wrong place can create problems over time, including damage to materials such as plastics, incorrect cleaning processes, and confusion within the team about what should happen before ultrasonic cleaning.
So what should happen instead?
