Abstract:

How certified microfiber systems reduce bioburden, protect disinfectant efficacy, and support IPC outcomes under staffing pressure.

Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is intensifying—not only due to antibiotic misuse in general medicine, but also from the increasing overuse of chemical disinfectants in healthcare environments. This session reframes professional cleaning as a frontline clinical intervention in AMR prevention.

Attendees will discover how certified microfiber systems—proven to remove 99.99% of bacteria and viruses using only water—can reduce surface bioburden, ease reliance on disinfectants, and protect their long-term efficacy. Especially in Australia, where staff shortages and onboarding pressures strain IPC efforts, these ergonomic, easy-to-train solutions support consistent hygiene outcomes across teams and departments.

Join us to explore how high-performance, sustainable cleaning systems can elevate IPC protocols, support staff wellbeing, and help safeguard the future effectiveness of disinfection.
