RE:"I work at Children's Medical Center in Dallas and we have moms wash the kits in their rooms using the hand microbial soap from hand dispensers and then they let them air dry. Is this adequate for hospital standards?" This is all we do here. I emphasise that they need to be cleaned with hot,soapy water and I show them to use a paper towel as a 'dish cloth'(a little friction). Then they can let it air dry on a towel in the room. I will be interested if any others have other protocols/guidelines for washing.
