Doctors

Almost everyone sitting in a GP waiting room is unwell, or caring for someone who is. Coughs, colds, stomach bugs, newborns in for checks and elderly patients with long term conditions all share the same chairs, door handles and toilets. A surgery that is only clean on the surface is a surgery that passes infection around.

Touch points matter more than shine

Germs spread in a medical centre through the things people touch without thinking. Our cleaners are trained in house to work through them every visit, not when they happen to notice.

• Door handles, push plates and grab rails
• Self check in screens and reception counters
• Waiting room chair arms and play area surfaces
• Light switches and lift buttons
• Taps, flush handles and baby change units

We use bactericides that kill MRSA throughout, and colour coded cloths, mops and buckets so the kit used in a toilet never reaches a consulting room.

A building with many different rooms

Long days, early starts

Surgery hours keep stretching, with early clinics, late appointments and Saturday sessions. We clean early in the morning, in the evening or at weekends, so the building is ready before the first patient arrives and nobody is waiting behind a cleaning trolley. Sickness and holiday cover is arranged by us, so a clean is never missed because one person is off.

Patient confidentiality

A GP surgery holds some of the most private information anyone has. Every cleaner signs a confidentiality agreement and is our own employee, vetted by us and in uniform. Your schedule makes it clear which rooms are cleaned, what is left untouched on desks and how clinical waste is left for your own procedures.

Common questions from practice managers

Do your cleaners handle clinical waste or sharps?

No. Those stay with your clinical team and your waste contractor. We clean around them as your schedule directs.

Do you only clean GP surgeries?

No. We look after health centres, clinics and other clinical premises too, such as dental practices and opticians.

We already employ our own cleaner. Can you take them on?

Yes. We have experience of TUPE transfers and will move your cleaner across properly, so you no longer have to manage holidays and cover yourself.

Is there a minimum contract?

Contracts start from four hours a week.
