The healthcare sector has always been focused on helping people when they are at their most vulnerable. Over the last year or so, the value and necessity of the healthcare system has been exemplified, with all those involved in the medical profession going above and beyond to keep people safe and to minimise the impacts associated with Covid-19.
What has also become clear during the last 12 months is that a focus on cleanliness, especially in hospitals, is key. Medical cleaning is a serious business and must always be given the attention and focus it warrants, especially when considering the robust guidelines set out by senior professional bodies such as the CDC and APIC.
With that in mind, here are three key reasons why all hospitals and medical operations should be making use of professional cleaning services to keep their facilities clean and ensure the protection of staff and patients alike.
1. Commercial cleaners are consistent
When it comes to cleaning thoroughly, commercial cleaning operators know what they are doing, and that’s because they’ve been trained well and have done it all before. Cleaning contract companies are experienced when it comes to hitting tough industry standards; they know what needs to be done in what order and will be able to get the job done promptly.
2. Professional cleaners focus on compliance
Professional cleaners not only understand what needs to be done to ensure cleaning operations are compliant, but they understand the value and importance of being thorough. Cleaning companies know that; should they fall below the standards required of them, they are liable to be hit with fines and could also garner a poor reputation, and this is something they, of course, want to avoid at all times.
3. Increased levels of health and safety
The overall benefit of cleanliness is, of course, that it increases the overall levels of health and safety in any given facility. When people are at their most vulnerable or are liable to succumb to illness – especially regarding contagious diseases – the importance of sterilisation and a robust cleaning routine is paramount. Professional cleaning organisations know about the correct ways of disinfecting and sterilising and know-how to ensure that cross-contamination does not occur.
