The recent outbreaks of Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) among infants in Hong Kong hospitals have raised concerns among healthcare professionals and parents alike. These outbreaks highlight the need for heightened vigilance and effective infection control measures in healthcare facilities. To combat the spread of MRSA, hospitals are implementing rigorous infection control measures, including enhanced screening, cleaning and disinfection, contact transmission prevention protocols, and risk assessment. The role of smart robotics like Whiz Gambit, premium hospital-grade disinfectants like Nanocyn, and indoor environmental hygiene assessment is also emphasized in reducing MRSA transmission, particularly in high-risk populations.

In a groundbreaking case study at HKVNS Alumni Association Kindergarten (KCC) in October 2023, Whiz Gambit, Avalon Steritech's advanced cleaning solution, demonstrated its unparalleled impact on school sanitation. By significantly reducing surface contaminants and creating a pristine learning environment, Whiz Gambit has set a new benchmark for student health and safety.

The COVID-19 pandemic has highlighted the importance of cleanliness and hygiene in preventing the spread of diseases. However, many people still confuse these two terms, leading to inadequate practices. Cleanliness focuses on the physical appearance of surfaces, while hygiene is driven by practices and measures taken to maintain health and prevent disease spread, even when a surface appears clean. Understanding the factors that affect the survival of pathogens on surfaces is crucial in developing effective cleaning protocols.

While a visually clean environment may give the impression of being hygienic, it does not necessarily guarantee actual cleanliness. To ensure a truly clean and safe environment, it is essential to adopt a scientific approach to measure surface cleanliness. Among various methods, ATP bioluminescence testing stands out as the preferred choice for its speed, reliability, and cost-effectiveness.
