How is MRSA decontamination done?
MRSA decontamination involves cleaning and disinfecting surfaces that contact skin, such as bathrooms, bedding areas, athletic equipment, benches and shared items, using EPA-registered disinfectants with label claims against methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus. Linens and fabrics are laundered or removed, and high-touch surfaces receive special attention.
Where MRSA hides
MRSA is a type of staph bacteria that resists several common antibiotics. It often spreads in places with skin contact and shared equipment: locker rooms, gyms, wrestling mats, dorms, care homes and households with an active infection.
Treatment is up to a medical provider. Our job is to reduce the bacteria on surfaces and items so people are less likely to be reinfected or to pass it on.
When to call
- A household member with an active MRSA infection
- Clusters on a sports team
