9 Cleaning Steps for Bedridden Patients
Using BRE Shower Sheet: A Safe and Hygienic Waterless Bathing Innovation
Caring for a bedridden patient requires patience, empathy, and proper hygiene knowledge.
Patients who are unable to move or only have limited mobility are at high risk of infection and pressure sores. Therefore, maintaining skin cleanliness is not only about comfort but also about preventing complications.
Traditionally, sponge baths for bedridden patients require multiple tools, water, and time.
However, with the introduction of BRE Shower Sheet, caregivers can now perform hygienic cleaning more efficiently — without water, while keeping the patient comfortable and dry.
9 Steps to Clean Bedridden Patients with BRE Shower Sheet
1. Prepare all equipment.
Prepare both Lather Sheet and Cleansing Sheet, along with gloves, a rubber sheet, and clean clothes.
2. Inform the patient before starting.
Communication helps reduce anxiety and enhances cooperation.
3. Wash your hands properly.
Following standard hand hygiene practices prevents infection transmission.
4. Cover the patient, exposing only the area to be cleaned.
Maintain privacy and warmth throughout the process.
5. Clean the mouth and teeth.
Oral hygiene helps reduce bacteria that may cause respiratory infections.
6. Use the Lather Sheet to create foam and remove dirt, oil, and sweat.
BRE’s soft lather gently cleanses without causing skin irritation.
7. Clean from the face down to the neck and the rest of the body.
Pay attention to moist areas such as the underarms, back, and groin.
8. Use the Cleansing Sheet to remove the lather.
This step leaves the skin feeling refreshed and moisturized with Aloe Vera, Cucumber, and Vitamin E extracts.
9. Dress the patient and engage in a brief conversation.
This promotes both physical comfort and emotional connection.
