WOW!!! It’s hard to believe that this is the last blog
for 2012. In looking back through the blogs that were written it is truly
amazing to realize just how broad the range of topics was!

amazing to realize just how broad the range of topics was!
2012 saw the continuation of the Guest Blogger concept
with eight (8) different bloggers. Each
is respected in their field and lends their expertise and insight to the Talk
Clean to Me Blog on topics pertaining to cleaning and disinfection. We would
like thank Mark Heller (Environmental Services Specialist & B2B
Consultant), Jason Tetro (The Germ Guy blog), Paul Webber (Webber Training & the global teleclass concept), Darrel Hicks (author of Infection Prevention for Dummies), Jim Gauthier (Infection Prevention & 2012 CHICA
Canada President), Rick Wray (Pediatric Patient Safety & Infection
Prevention), Dr. Lucas Panteleon (Veterinarian & Animal Infection
Prevention), and Professor Ewen Todd (Michigan State University and Guest
Blogger on the DEB Hand Hygiene Blog) for their support in 2012! We will
continue to introduce you to Guest Bloggers from around the world and also hope
to introduce you to some of the blogs we think are worthy of following.

We also introduced a monthly Chemistry Blog in 2012 and
will continue to expand our education on chemical actives used for cleaning,
sanitizing and disinfection of surfaces, devices and hands in 2013. The focus
of the Chemistry Blogs this past year revolved around the actives most found in
products uses for surface cleaning and disinfection (Quats, Chlorine, Phenols,
Hydrogen Peroxide, Ozone, Alcohols, Silver Dihydrogen Citrate, Organic Acids,
Peracetic Acid and Improved Hydrogen Peroxide). Next year, we’ll focus on the
chemistries used for hand hygiene and medical device reprocessing and hope our
chemical geekiness will in some way lead to frank and educational discussions
around the cleaners and disinfectants that we chose and use.

To continue our infection prevention education (a true
passion of mine) we will be introducing a “Bug Blog” in 2013. We have from time
to time dedicated a blog to a specific bug (i.e., Norovirus, The Cold or Flu
etc), based on the time of year or “exciting” events in microbiology (stay
tuned for a blog on the new novel Coronavirus!) and for 2013 we want to
continue this focus so we not only know about the bug, but better understand
how disinfectants “attack” and “kill” the bugs we are concerned with.

Of course, we will be sure to blog about any topic or
newly published science that goes with the Talk Clean To Me mandate to educate
and provide you the latest resources related to cleaning and disinfection of
environmental surfaces, medical devices and hands. It’s true, our commitment to
providing chemical disinfectant education is more than business, it is a
passion!
