How You Can Implement Medical Cleaning Practices Into Other Residential & Commercial Cleaning Situations

04 Apr 2024 7:36 PM | Denise Carrasquillo-Alicea

Medical cleaning is a standard practice in health care facilities and hospitals to reduce the spread of germs that make people sick. These same germs can be found in commercial spaces and residential buildings. 

OB’ Z Multi-Cleaning services can implement the same procedures as medical cleaning services to prevent others from getting sick and to reduce the spread of infectious diseases. All spaces should be cleaned, sanitized and disinfected; EPA has compiled a list of disinfectant products, including ready-to-use sprays, concentrates, and wipes, that can be used against viruses and pathogens. (click link for list of disinfectants). 

OB’Z Multi-Cleaning professional will always wear the appropriate PPE when using chemicals, cleaning up contaminated spaces and cleaning up bodily fluids. The basis cleaning step that will be used to ensure a thorough cleaning was conducted will be to do a visual preliminary site assessment, wear appropriate PPE, than disposal the trash, dusting from top to bottom, damp wipe all hard surfaces and items, restock items and products, clean or dust mop the floor level, inspect the overall area for any missed steps, damp mop any wet table floor surfaces, and always place a wet floor sign. 

When cleaning a bathroom it’s should be done in specific steps and PPE must be changed after cleaning it. When removing garbage do not push the trash down with hands to avoid getting pricked by a sharp object. When dusting and cleaning the room it should be done from top to bottom or high to low. The room should be cleaned from cleaner to dirtier to avoid spreading dirt and microorganisms. The Janitor or cleaning crew will be cleaning in a systematic manner to avoid missing areas for example, left to right or clockwise. 

Janitors/Cleaning staff are knowledgeable and trained on what cleaning detergent and disinfectant that is effective against both bacteria and viruses. You can find a listing on highly trained cleaning companies that specialize in health care cleaning at Janitorial Service Directory
