Environmental surfaces are likely to contribute to the transmission of health care-associated pathogens. The present study aimed to determine the most effective regimen or product for removing bioburden. An adenosine triphosphate assessment technique was used to compare cleaning methods and products for removing bioburden from soiled surfaces. Of the regimens or products tested, 2-step cleaning most thoroughly removed bioburden. The 2-in-1 products were no more effective in removing bioburden than a 1-step clean using a neutral detergent.
