Hospital floors are disgusting
Nov. 10th, 2015 06:45 pmRight close to the wall, the floor in the Emergency and Observation areas looks okay. And around the beds, where there's a lot of wear from the beds being shifted, the floor looks fairly clean. In between, it's grungy. Incredibly greyish grotty.
I know the floors are washed, sort-of. I've seen people pushing around some kind of antiseptic mop/brush/swab thing. But it's not taking the crud away. If I squirt a bit of hand sanitizer on the floor, wait a few seconds, then rub with a tissue, the floor gets back to the appearance of the clean areas. And the tissue turns dark grey.
The old line about "but it's clean dirt" I find unconvincing, under the circumstances.
