• Description
• Infection prevention for dummies is a
  big topic, but to keep this webinar "pocket
  size", I stick to cleaning and housekeeping
  wisdom as it relates to keeping you and those you
  love safe and healthy. The simple cleaning of
  environmental surfaces may be one of the key
  defenses in the future battle against infectious
  disease. With antibiotic-resistant organisms
  proliferating on common touch-points for up to 58
  or more days, the study of cleaning is becoming
  all-important.
• Why Should you Attend?
• What you can't see can hurt you. This
  course will inform, educate and help you with
  practical application of basic principles
  necessary to maintain your environment (home,
  work, hotel room, etc.) in a safe, clean and
  disinfected state.
