Surface disinfection is critical for preventing health care-associated infections; however, sustaining high-quality cleaning technique is challenging without constant feedback and training of staff. A novel color additive to bleach wipes, Highlight, indicates where surfaces have been wiped and fades to colorless to provide real-time visual feedback of cleaning. In a multiphase interventional study, Highlight reduced failure rates of cleaning based on fluorescent marker removal (15.0%-4.5%) and adenosine triphosphate bioluminescence assay (3.6%-2.5%).
表面消毒对于预防医源性感染至关重要；然而，如果没有对员工的持续反馈和培训，保持高质量的清洁技术是具有挑战性的。一种新型的漂白湿巾颜色添加剂Highlight 可以指示已擦拭的表面，并且颜色会褪色为无色，从而提供清洁的实时视觉反馈。在一项多阶段干预研究中，Highlight 降低了荧光标记物去除（15.0%-4.5%）和三磷酸腺苷生物发光测定（3.6%-2.5%）的清洁失败率。
