Studies in the late 1960’s – 1970’s demonstrated that redistribution of bacteria into the air from the floor accounted for up to 15% of all airborne bacteria (Hambraeus et al. 1978) and disinfection alone is short lived given the rapid rate of recontamination on vast surface such as the floor (Ayliffe, 1967).

Current evidence surrounding floors as a key surface discusses how it may act as a reservoir in the chain of infection both in sensitive environments and potentially in other facilities as well.
