St John of God Murdoch Hospital

We achieved quite amazing results on two of our totally grubby lead gowns, which were close to being withdrawn from service simply on the basis of their appearance…we had tried all sorts of methods to clean them with poor results and only the steam cleaning worked, and with spectacular results !

The process was quick, easy and straight forward and despite our concerns about burns and staff safety (i.e. scalding etc), it all seems very safe! Michael was really helpful in this respect, and he knows his product very well. Our lead gowns have always posed a problem in regard to cleaning and have also posed issues from an infection control perspective.

With the application of steam cleaning, I believe that we may have a brilliant solution to both issues that is quick, easy, safe and cost-effective. I imagine that all sites where lead gowns are used, especially in a procedural/operating theatre setting, will want to use this cleaning process to ensure that their gowns are not only clean, but sanitary from an infection control risk perspective.

Thanks again !
