Properly cleaning healthcare facilities is about far more than making spaces look clean—it’s about protecting people. Hospitals, clinics, and care facilities serve individuals who may already be vulnerable, and without strong healthcare cleaning and infection prevention practices, harmful bacteria, germs, and viruses can spread quickly. This puts patients, staff, and visitors at risk and increases the likelihood of healthcare-associated infections (HAIs).

Healthcare environments are filled with high-touch surfaces that are used all day long, from bed rails and exam tables to door handles and restrooms. Effective environmental services (EVS) teams rely on EPA-registered disinfectants, proper dwell time, and standardized cleaning methods to reduce cross-contamination and create safer spaces. These healthcare-grade practices are what truly support patient safety and public health.

At its core, proper healthcare cleaning builds trust, safety, and accountability.
