Hi Jude
I hope you’re doing well.
The cleaner is likely referring to disinfectant fogging bombs such as
this one
https://www.starhygiene.com.au/king-mist-disinfectant-fogger-250ml/?gclidCj0KCQjwv5uKBhD6ARIsAGv9a-zpjTOtkZlvbGYIkqUXJyGEFof494LVW2k1rhtVMuaAWPIH8kE0uW4aAmpCEALw_wcB
These are not appropriate, especially in a healthcare setting. In the
context of COVID, the Vic DH does not recommend the use of disinfectant
fogging in any form. You can find IPC guidelines here
that
mention fogging.
And keep in mind that all cleaning/disinfectant products must be
TGA-approved.
I hope this helps.
Cheers

Hi Folks
I have just been asked by one of our cleaners about the possibility of
getting a bomb to clean our infectious rooms. What she described was
something akin to a flea bomb that you set off and then close the door.
Does anyone know if this is a thing and how much they cost?
