The very words healthcare facility bring to mind the idea of providing health care for individuals with a sickness or health problem. Keeping this type of facility clean and disinfected is essential and almost impossible to do unless a healthcare facility cleaning service is hired to do the cleaning. Being able to use industrial-strength cleaning products and have trained personnel to do the cleaning is likely the only way to guarantee a health care facility is properly disinfected each day. Particularly since the onset of the COVID pandemic, when the spread of the COVID virus was a constant threat (and still is) has seen the level of cleanliness soar to the level of disinfect. There are many benefits to hiring a healthcare facility cleaning service.
- Professional healthcare facility services are well aware of the difference between sanitizing and disinfecting. To sanitize an area, a cleaning product must meet the EPA (Environmental Protection Agency) standards for killing bacteria. For disinfecting an area, the cleaning products used must meet the EPA standard for killing both bacteria and viruses. Most of the products on the EPA list for use in sanitizing and disinfecting are available only to trained professionals.
- And trained professionals are those who have received instruction and often been tested on their knowledge of how to properly care for and disinfect a healthcare facility.
- A professional healthcare service will guarantee their work should there be any problems or oversights in the completed work.
- A healthcare facility that is professionally cleaned by a healthcare cleaning service can promote this fact with posters in the facility and references to the practice in advertising publications.
- Not only will the individuals who come to the healthcare facility benefit from knowing the facility is professionally cleaned, everyone who works at the healthcare facility will benefit too. There will be less sickness among the healthcare facility staff, which will mean fewer sick days required and less money spent on hiring temporary help. And, if the healthcare facility chooses not to hire temporary help, there will be a lot of extra pressure on the overworked staff. Both staff and patients will suffer if a healthcare facility is not cleaned and disinfected each day it is in use.
