Decontamination services need to be carried out regularly in order to ensure that medical equipment, devices, and surfaces are free from microbes that cause infection.

This is also done to make sure that the said things are safe for staff handling and safe to be used again.

Cleaning and decontamination services are very important steps in sterilisation and disinfection.

Cleaning is the process wherein all the visible soil from the equipment and instruments are removed. Decontamination, on the other hand, reduces or removes contamination due to harmful substances or infectious organisms.
