Every year, nearly 1.7 million people suffer from infections received while in a health care facility. The Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) reports that nearly 10,000 of these patients die. Fortunately, there are ways to make these numbers decrease, one of which is by hiring a medical cleaning service to sanitize the facility. Gator Cleaning Solutions doesn’t just clean commercial businesses and professional office space, we are also known for our excellent service in the medical community. Our staff is specifically trained for medical cleaning and works with a number of hospitals in the Tampa Bay area.
Basic cleaning includes routine cleaning tasks such as trash pickup, floor cleaning, light dusting, and cleaning restrooms. However when working within a high risk environment certain procedures must be adhered too such as color coded microfiber rags to prevent cross contamination, HEPA vacuum systems and a intensely trained staff on the dangers of bloodborne pathogens and HIPPA regulations. Deep cleaning includes routine cleaning tasks, plus high and low dusting, chair vacuuming, cleaning underneath desks, spot cleaning walls and doors. If a patient area is labeled high risk, such as an examination room or operating room, then a Terminal clean may be the most appropriate route to ensure proper sterilization.
Open wounds in areas with a high level of pathogens can cause infections and other sorts of complications that hinder the recovery of hospital patients. Gator Cleaning Solution’s medical cleaning staff members are highly trained professional and pride themselves in providing a clean and sanitary area for patients. The examination rooms are cleaned and looked over with special care because they are the parts of the hospital in which sick or injured patients most often find themselves.
While it is very important to clean the examination rooms, it is also crucial to perform medical office cleaning as well. The doctors who spend their time with patients in the examination room spend much of the rest of the day in their offices. The same hands that grip office desk drawer handles inspect patients later. Even though doctors wash their hands countless times each day, there are always extra precautions to take. Also, if a doctor spends his time in a more sanitary environment, there is less of a chance they will get sick themselves and have to call out from work when they are truly needed.
The same precautions that are taken throughout the facility need to be taken in the office space as well. A regularly scheduled, complete clean of the facility is the only way to ensure you are doing your best in preventing superbugs and life threatening infections for your staff and patients. Allow Gator Cleaning Solutions to partner with you in keeping your facility the cleanest in town. Call us for a free, no obligation cleaning quote at 813-929-1122.
