Feedback:
Housekeepers who follow the principles of medical asepsis carry out concurrent disinfection methods. The housekeeping personnel should wet-mop floors and damp-dust furniture to avoid distributing microorganisms on dust and air currents. They should never place clean items on the floor or on the furniture. They should always clean less-soiled areas before grossly dirty ones.
