How can you implement Medical cleaning practices into other residential and commercial cleaning situations.

22 Feb 2026 1:38 PM | Trenise Cutler

There are a lot of ways to implement medical cleaning solutions into residential and commercial cleaning. The most important is having the knowledge of how to properly do so. IJCSA is a reputable source in not only finding a great company to do so, they also provide training and certifications to ensure companies are able to do so.

One should focus on high touch areas using proper techniques to eliminate cross contamination. Ensuring that high touch areas are provided the attention to detail they need on a frequent basis. Areas such as light switches, doorknobs, elevator buttons, etc are areas that hold the most germs. Having a staff who is properly trained can prevent the spread of germs.

A top to bottom cleaning method is useful as well. This idea of cleaning from ceilings to floor prevents dust from spreading. Once the ceiling is cleaned it allows any debris from the ceiling to fall from the floor. As the floor is cleaned last, all debris from the ceiling can now be properly swept and mopped without living leaving any dust behind. Mopping in a figure 8 motion ensures the entire floor has been touched.

Lastly all staff should be properly trained and have blood pathogen awareness. In doing so your staff should be in compliance with all health cleaning requirements in any medical facility. Companies should ensure access to PPE when necessary. Along with reference manuals as refreshers to knowing how to properly clean medical facilities. IJCSA is a great source of information to help any janitorial company to fill in the gaps of knowledge in the medical cleaning industry.
