The value of objectively monitoring and improving environmental cleaning in health care settings is becoming increasingly recognized as an important component of interventions to mitigate the transmission of health care-associated pathogens. Whereas the 2010 Centers for Disease Control and Prevention tool kit Options for Evaluating Environmental Cleaning provides detailed guidance related to implementing such programs, there is a need to clearly understand the value and limitations of various environmental cleaning monitoring approaches to ensure the favorable impact of such activities.
