Code Compliance and Cleaning in the Medical Industry
|November 9, 2016
The cleanliness of medical facilities is critical to the health and well-being of patients, personnel and visitors alike. Due to the extremely important nature of medical facility cleanliness, a code has been established that governs the level of cleanliness medical facilities in the United States must maintain. Code compliance means following all the legal rules and regulations set forth by:
- The medical facility
- Federal and state governances
- Other related ruling organizations
To guarantee cleanliness code compliance and ensure that your medical facility is a safe and healthy place for patients, doctors, nurses and visitors alike, you need a trusted and competent cleaning company with expertise and experience. In San Francisco, that company is No More Dirt. We have years of experience cleaning a wide range of buildings and facilities and know what it takes to maintain code compliance for your medical facility.
Special Treatment for a Medical Facility
While we’re serious and conscientious when we clean any type of building, we know that a medical facility takes special care. That’s due to the number of health risks present in a medical environment and the problems that an unclean facility could cause, especially for patients. Our cleaning teams understand how serious medical cleanliness is and focus on meeting code compliance for everyone present in a medical setting, including:
- Patients: First and foremost, medical facilities need to be clean for the health of patients. Patients that have a weak immune system and are susceptible to different illnesses need a clean and sanitized facility. Our crews can disinfect and sanitize your medical building and reduce the chance of dirt and bacteria infecting patients, providing them with a safer and more positive experience.
- Medical team: The medical personnel in your facility also needs to be sure that they are working in a clean and sanitized setting. Every area of your medical building needs to be thoroughly cleaned on a regular basis, and our team will get in and clean when it’s convenient for your team. We’re available 24/7, 365 days a year, so it’s easy to schedule cleaning when it suits you.
- Visitors: Visitors to your medical facility also must be protected from dirt and contamination due to an unclean facility. We can clean all areas of your medical facility, including common areas, waiting rooms and public toilets. When someone is visiting a medical facility to spend time with a family member or friend, they deserve a clean and pleasant experience.
- Our cleaning crews: At No More Dirt, we are also concerned with the safety and well-being of our own team. We provide them with all the necessary personal protective equipment, including gloves, masks and gowns and guidelines for following all code-related cleaning tasks. The result is a serious and conscientious crew that will clean your medical facility the right way every time.
Everyone who sets foot in a medical facility should be greeted with an impeccably clean and sanitized space. This is spelled out in the laws and rules governing medical buildings and facilities. Make sure your facility is following the compliance code and offering all patients, personnel and visitors the positive experience they deserve.
Covering All Types of Medical Facilities
At No More Dirt, we can clean all types of medical facilities, from small practices to large medical complexes. Our medical facility cleaning covers:
- Physician’s offices and medical clinics
- Dentist offices
- Outpatient, surgery and urgent care centers
- Nursing home common areas
Since no two facilities are exactly alike, we take the time to go over the unique demands of your medical building or space and organize our crews to provide fast and consistent cleaning every time. Available 24 hours a day, seven days a week and 365 days a year, we can work around your schedule to plan regular cleaning of your medical facility when it suits you. After hours, weekends or on days where you are closed, we can accommodate you so that you can continue to serve your customers in a clean and inviting facility.
Happy With Your Current Cleaning Crew?
Are you satisfied with your current cleaning company, or do you see room for improvement? Do they leave areas of your facility less than spotless? Do your patients, visitors or personnel feel the lack of cleanliness puts them at risk of catching an illness? In all cases, it’s time to change to a new cleaning company.
When you contact No More Dirt, we take the time to understand your requirements and expectations and put in place the right cleaning strategy. We can consider:
- Coming to your facility for a deep cleaning, to get your space clean and up to code after a period of neglect or inadequate cleaning
- Planning regular cleaning on a fixed schedule to maintain your code compliance and keep your facility spotless all the time
- Intervene at specific dates — such as after busy periods or renovations and repairs — to ensure your facility is quickly brought back up to code
You won’t find this kind of flexibility with other cleaning companies. Many cleaning franchises are pressured to get in and get out and are limited in the size of teams and amount of time they can dedicate to your facility. At No More Dirt, we’re an experienced cleaning company — not a franchise — and we have a team dedicated to your cleaning needs.
We are always available to discuss your cleaning needs with you and can direct our crews to focus on specific areas that are of importance to you. That’s the advantage of trusting a local medical facility cleaning leader.
Tasks Specific to Medical Facilities
Many of the cleaning tasks we perform in medical facilities are the same as what we do in other buildings and businesses. We clean floors, walls, doors and windows and any other surfaces you need to have cleaned. We’re proud to be a leading cleaning business in San Francisco and take special care when cleaning medical facilities of all types and sizes. It doesn’t matter if you’re a lone doctor in a small practice with an office and waiting room to clean, or if you’re in charge of a large hospital with multiple departments and floors to clean — we’ve got you covered here at No More Dirt. We use a methodical approach to cleaning so that we don’t miss anything, and we understand the unique requirements of your type of medical facility.
Physician’s Offices and Medical Clinics
We wash and clean floors, walls and ceilings throughout your office or clinic. We ensure that patients and visitors are greeted with a clean and inviting environment with a reduced chance of contamination. Our crews can also clean any furniture including waiting room chairs and benches, which often get overlooked by rushed cleaning crews looking to get in and out in as little time as possible.
Since your time as a medical professional is precious, we work around your schedule. Our crews will come to your office or medical clinic when it’s convenient for you and ensure you are code compliant and ready to receive your patients with a clean and safe facility.
Dentist Offices
With a wide range of tools and equipment, a dentist’s office can be a complicated place to clean. Some cleaning companies do a quick sweep and call it a day. At No More Dirt, we take the time to clean around all equipment and remove dirt from areas you can’t easily see. This is our guarantee that there’s no hidden dirt or bacteria that can cause your patients to get sick.
We will also clean all visitors’ spaces, offices and storage areas so there is no dirt present for cross-contamination. This is an important point that often gets overlooked by franchise cleaners in a hurry: A proper clean means removing all dirt so your facility stays cleaner longer and there’s no risk of re-contaminating important dental equipment and devices.
Outpatient, Surgery and Urgent Care Centers
Due to the sheer size of this type of facility, it takes an organized and experienced cleaning company to ensure code compliance. There are countless areas that need cleaning attention, including hallways, waiting rooms, dining areas, public washrooms, medical treatment areas, storage locales, etc. Our No More Dirt teams get in and clean all the surfaces that need cleaning to eliminate dirt that could be a problem for your patients.
We know you can’t simply shut down your care center to allow for cleaning, so our crews work with you to focus on the areas you need to have cleaned when it’s convenient for you. We’re available any time, night and day, and we will do as much as possible to provide our typical thorough cleaning with as little disruption to you, your patients, your visitors and your team as possible.
Nursing Home Common Areas
Elderly people are especially susceptible to dirt-borne illnesses, which is why we provide thorough cleaning of nursing home common areas, including reception areas, hallways, shared recreation spaces, kitchens and public toilets. When cleaning a nursing home or elderly care facility, our crews are sensitive to the needs of patients and make an effort to work in a way that minimizes disruption.
We can schedule regular weekly or monthly cleaning of your nursing home as well as come for larger cleanups after certain busy periods or holidays, for example. Some cleaning companies treat nursing homes like any other building, but at No More Dirt, we put extra care and effort into providing a clean place for elderly residents to enjoy in peace and comfort.
If your medical facility has any special cleaning needs or requirements, lets us know. Our account managers will make note of your requests and share this information with the team sent to clean your location. You’ll get the deep and thorough clean you expect, and we’ll work around your schedule to make our cleaning as undisruptive and efficient as possible. We focus on cleaning and code compliance, so you can focus on what you do best: providing reliable medical treatment and care to your patients.
Safety in Everything We Do
One of the major risks for cleaning a medical facility — especially outpatient, surgery and urgent care centers — is the handling of blood-borne pathogens. Medical waste and tissue as well as splashes and spills from medical procedures and lab procedures can be contaminated and present a risk not only to patients, visitors and medical personnel, but also to our cleaning personnel.
To mitigate this risk, our cleaning crews are aware of the risks involved and are given the proper personal protective equipment to protect themselves. They treat all dirt and waste in your medical facility as potentially contaminated to ensure that no risks are taken and dispose of all waste as directed by your facility rules. When in doubt, our cleaning team members will always verify the right procedure for handling and disposal. This is another way we set ourselves apart from franchise cleaning companies that don’t have the experience to handle the specifics of medical facility cleaning.
In the San Francisco area, No More Dirt is your partner for medical facility cleaning. We are proud of our reputation as a serious and conscientious cleaning company with attention to detail that surpasses the competition. We send in teams that understand the need for a thorough and consistent cleaning for all areas of your medical facility or building and treat every customer the same way.

- Cleanliness regulations: We can clean to ensure code compliance for your segment of the medical industry.
