Cleaning and Disinfecting Tips
Koala exclusively uses Microban® antimicrobial protection in our manufacturing
process. (For more information on Microban®, go to
www.koalabear.
com.) However, it is still important that the Baby Changing Station (BCS)
undergo daily cleaning and disinfecting (and maintenance inspections).
Bacteria reproduce very rapidly (10 – 15 minutes under ideal conditions), so
by combining an EPA-approved disinfectant, proper cleaning procedures, and
Microban® will ensure a healthy, safe, durable BCS. Koala recommends cleaning
plastic surfaces separately before disinfecting them. Disinfectants are more
effective on bacteria with the unit clean of soil and other impurities. (Some
manufacturers do sell disinfectant synthetic detergents [DSD] that clean and
disinfect, but separating the tasks will improve the overall effectiveness.)
We also recommend using both disinfectants and detergents that do not contain
an overwhelming fragrance which often mask inappropriate smells.
We recommend the application of disinfectants after plastic surfaces have been
thoroughly cleaned.
Disinfectants have dwell times of 7 – 10 minutes.
Disinfectants do require moisture to eradicate bacteria, so apply
disinfectants via a spray bottle or other appropriate applicator to be
effective.
Apply standard stainless steel cleaner to the stainless steel surface. With a
soft rag, wipe with the grain of the stainless steel surface to remove.
Microfiber rags capture 25 – 35% more soil than traditional terry cloth rags.
We recommend red or white (with red trim) microfiber rags for exclusive use on
the BCS to avoid cross-contamination with other areas. Manufacturers
recommend microfiber rags be washed separately from other fabrics. When wiping
dry the BCS surfaces after cleaning, the microfiber rags will capture small
particles of soil and impurities. All microfiber rags should be thoroughly
washed via a cleaning service or local washer/dryer. Quality microfiber rags
can be washed 300 – 500 times before replacement.
The final step in any cleaning/disinfecting procedure is to inspect to ensure
the quality assurance guidelines have been achieved. When the BCS has been
cleaned/disinfected, look for the following assurance guidelines:
- Surfaces should feel smooth and be free of visible soil.
- There should be no odors.
- The unit should be properly secured to the wall.
- The adjoining wall and floor below the BCS should be free of visible soil. Please refer to the cleaning and maintenance guide for the proper cleaning/disinfecting procedures.
Maintenance and Replacement Parts
The unit should be routinely inspected to ensure it is functioning correctly
and no parts need replacing. The strap should be replaced if the buckle is
broken and will not fasten or if the webbing is cut or frayed. To inspect the
shock open and close the unit. Shock may need replacement if door opens too
rapidly or door doesn’t close. If the door does not close once it is lifted to
roughly 40º or if the door falls open without slowing, then the shock needs to
be replaced.
Employee Safety
Employees who service the BCS should wear the following personal protective
equipment (PPE): (powderless) latex/nitrile gloves to protect hands; long
sleeve shirts to protect the wrist and arms; safety goggles. In addition, a
Wet Floor Sign should be placed outside the restroom/baby changing door to
alert the public that cleaning is taking place
(since moisture will probably end up on the floor).
We discourage the use of bleach as a disinfectant. There are
numerous other commercial products (Quats) that are less harmful to the
surface and employees and are better able to destroy microorganisms. Further,
if bleach is inadvertently mixed with ammonia, harmful chlorine gas can be
produced.

old state that the leading cause of dissatisfaction with baby changing
stations is the lack of availability of bed liners.
