OFFICE CLEANLINESS, DISINFECTION, AND DISEASE PREVENTION PROTOCOLS

Alchemy’s overarching goal is to protect our clients and our therapists and staff from contracting COVID-19 while also providing you with the quality, professional hands-on and virtual therapy that enhances your life and helps you feel better.

STANDARD PRECAUTIONS

Alchemy Healing Arts Center, follows Standard Precautions for the prevention of disease transmission. The CDC defines Standard Precautions as “the minimum infection prevention practices that apply to all patient care, regardless of suspected or confirmed infection status of the patient, in any setting where health care is delivered.”

OFFICE CLEANLINESS, SANITATION, AND DISEASE PREVENTION PROTOCOLS

Surfaces:  All surfaces that may become contaminated by touch or respiratory droplets will be cleaned and disinfected throughout the day and each treatment room will be cleaned and disinfected after each session. An EPA registered disinfectant specific for use against SARS-CoV-2 will be used on all surfaces with required contact time.

We have removed all items from the treatment rooms and reception areas that are not able to be cleaned appropriately.

Treatment Rooms will be cleaned and disinfected after each session. Sufficient time is allowed between sessions to complete this process.

High Touch Items around the front desk including clipboards, pens, credit card machine, and computer will be sanitized with an alcohol-based product before and after use. Door knobs, light switches and the like will be disinfected frequently during the day.

Laundry our protocol has only changed slightly; all used linens and other items will be washed daily with detergent and warm water; this is sufficient to kill the SARS-CoV-2 virus. Linens will be dried, then folded and stored in sealed containers to be accessed by therapists and staff between sessions.

Heating Ventilation and Air Conditioning: Alchemy has installed a UV Air Sanitizing system as recommended to help destroy any airborne disease particles.

Ventilation has been increased in treatment rooms and the reception area, when the weather allows, we will open windows and exhaust air outside.  HEPA air filtration systems will be used as well. 

Floors will be vacuumed daily with a HEPA filter fitted vacuum cleaner. Please don’t lick the floor.

Hand washing Our therapists, practitioners, and staff are pros at hand washing and will continue to do so. Washing hands with soap and warm water, thoroughly cleaning all areas of hands and forearms if applicable, with soap contact and scrubbing for 20 seconds or more is the recommended protocol and is suggested for everyone.

Hand Sanitizer is available throughout the office. Please use sufficient hand sanitizer to completely cover hands, move it around and rub it in until dried. Hand sanitizer is not as effective as hand washing. Hand sanitizer will not be effective on greasy or soiled hands, hand washing is required.
