Check your state or local regulation for details Child Care Licensing staff would like to remind providers that licensed facilities must comply with specific sanitation measures for their floors, rugs, carpets and nonporous surfaces (Nevada Administrative Code 432A.077). These sanitation measures include use of a bleach solution of a specific mixture. State standards state that such items as toys, cribs, high chairs and diaper changing surfaces must be disinfected with a solution that consists of: a) One-fourth of a cup of liquid chlorine bleach added to 1 gallon of water that is prepared fresh daily and kept in a closed container; b) One tablespoon of liquid chlorine bleach added to 1 quart of water that is prepared fresh daily; or c) A solution that is approved by the appropriate state or local agency and is at least as effective as the solutions described in paragraphs (a) and (b). Local jurisdictions such as the Southern Nevada Health District or Washoe County Department of Social Services might have stricter standards, so refer to your local agency’s rules if applicable. Below is a PDF with some helpful information from our colleagues at SNHD. For more information, contact your facility’s inspector or visit the Child Care Licensing web page.
