Cleaning/sanitizing products

[sunnydays]

I just wanted to say that there is no law regarding what we clean with, how often we clean, etc . We are home daycare providers and as such we do what works for us and are only accountable to the parents who use our services. So as long as you tell the parents what your cleaning routine/products are (if they want to know) then it is up to you. Personally, I use mostly natural cleaning products, although I do use a light bleach solution at times as well.

Ohhh ok... Good to know.
I am really concened about it because there is a case of a baby who died at a no registered home daycare (well actually three this year) and I read the report for one of those daycares and they gave the owner a list of things they have to change in order to reopen the business. One of the main issues in that case is the cleaning. So I thought there was a law involved.

I sanitize the table top/countertop and booster seats after every meal with a bleach solution and sanitize the bathroom once a day. I also have a separate hand cloth for each child for hand drying after washing. I try to sanitize playroom surfaces and toys about once a week, more often if someone is sick. Each child also has their own bedding that does not get shared.

I also have separate change pads for each baby and try to sanitize them at least once a day.

My husband does vacuuming about twice a week (he's so helpful) and I try to wash the floors once a week. I am not supposed to vacuum during daycare hours, I guess because it can put dust up in the air. So I sweep the floor twice a day.

I am a licensed home daycare in Manitoba and do have guidelines to follow.
