microfibre cloths

This what HTM 01-05 states
Decontamination of treatment areas
6.61 The patient treatment area should be cleaned after every session using disposable cloths or clean microfibre materials – even if the area appears uncontaminated.


6.67 Cleaning centres on simple techniques using disposable cloths wetted with clean water and a detergent.


So I read this as meaning the surgery can be cleaned at the end of a session with a clean microfibre cloth (1 for each session) and disposable wipes between patients.

hi there,
just wondering what everyone's views are on the use of microfibre cloths?
our principal dentist wants to implement them.
I've done some research on it and it all sounds fine except i can't seem to find anywhere if we need to be using a completely new/clean cloth to wipe in-between every patient (if so we're gonna be going through a lot!) or do we just change it for a new one every session? (2 a day as well as deep clean at the start and end of clinical session)

so confusing!!

any help would be much appreciated
:) :) :)
thanks!
