Healthcare cleaning is much more about being actually clean and hygienic, rather than just looking clean or locking in that first impression. Patient, visitor, and staff health is extremely important, so as an owner or manager of a healthcare facility, you’ll want to make sure every inch is cleaned regularly to protect against Healthcare Acquired Infections
When deciding on who is going to clean your medical facility, you’ll likely have to pick between hiring and training a team to perform the cleaning for your property or seeking out a commercial cleaning company to help get the job done – the latter is the better choice!
Why You Should Outsource Your Healthcare Facility Cleaning
While we may be a bit biased due to our decades of combined local and national experience, outsourcing your healthcare facility cleaning is important to maintaining the safety of environments where people treat and care for others.
1. Save Yourself & Your Team Time
When you hire a company to handle your medical cleaning, your cleaning professionals will rely on their years of knowledge and trusted cleaning methods to quickly clean your property without compromising quality. This frees up your time, allowing you to worry less and fee up your team to spot clean or work on other projects.
2. Improve Your Bottom Line
While profits should never be over people, especially in the healthcare industry, improving your bottom line is always something business owners strive to do. When you hire a cleaning company to handle your medical facility’s cleaning needs, you’re improving your bottom line in several ways:
- Choosing to not hire an in-house team saves you from extra payroll, insurance expenses, training, and other costs associated with hiring a new employee
- Not having to purchase commercial cleaning equipment can save you thousands of dollars in upfront costs
- Having professionals clean your facilities allows for problems to be spotted before they become problems for your patients, visitors, and staff
3. Lock in a Schedule with Comprehensive Cleaning Services
Choosing a commercial cleaning company with experience in healthcare cleaning will help you ensure that you’ll get medical cleaning from professionals with the knowledge, experience, and training needed to ensure that all OSHA and HIPPA regulations are adhered to during every clean.
Hiring a commercial cleaning company can provide your healthcare facility with a wide range of cleaning services customized to your specific needs:
- Floor cleaning
- Exit point disinfection
- Surface disinfection
- Equipment disinfection
- Waiting room area cleaning
And this is just the beginning – outsourcing your healthcare cleaning services to a trusted cleaning company will ensure everything on your facility’s checklist will be checked off.
4. Keep Your Medical Staff & Patients Safe
Above all, outsourcing your cleaning can keep your medical staff and patients safe by avoiding healthcare-acquired, or associated, infections, or HAIs.
While gaining an HAI while in a healthcare setting is much rarer than it once was, according to recent studies, one out of 24 hospital patients are affected by an HAI, causing them to commonly spend more than six extra days in the hospital, five times more likely to be readmitted after discharged, and twice as likely to die. This is just another reminder of why healthcare facilities must stay on top of cleaning to avoid transmitting bloodstream infections, pneumonia, and more.
Customized Cleaning Plan & Chemical List
Healthcare cleaning professionals can largely reduce these infections, the spread of COVID-19, and more by paying close attention to the cleaning systems and chemicals used.
The chemicals used to clean the facility must be properly stored and applied to the property, which requires a large knowledge of disinfecting strategies and a deep understanding of which chemical solutions are effective for which jobs.
A strong commitment to keeping your patients and staff safe with routine commercial cleaning, and the results of those services, will help you grow and preserve a positive reputation within the community. A clean and welcoming healthcare environment is a huge part of growing the community you serve and patient satisfaction.
5. Never Get Anything Less Than a Quality Clean
If you’re having a hard time finding a commercial cleaning company that’ll clean your medical facilities in your budget, you’re approaching it from the wrong angle. Saving a few bucks on cleaning may seem like a non-starter, but hiring the best cleaning company that offers the best services will save you more money.
A clean healthcare facility is a happy, healthy, and safe one; don’t settle for anything less!
