We began as a husband-and-wife team and have grown carefully, building the capacity to support larger facilities while keeping the personal service of a small business.

We are fully insured, our team is trained, and random quality checks support our work. Most importantly, we genuinely care about doing the job properly.

  • Flexible cleaning without a lock-in contract

Cleaning Requirements for Medical and Allied Health Premises

Healthcare cleaning is not simply office cleaning in a different building. Medical premises can include public areas, clinical spaces, staff rooms and amenities with different cleaning requirements. The scope must also reflect the facility's infection-prevention procedures and the division of responsibilities between cleaners and clinical staff.
We review patient flow, high-use zones, sensitive surfaces, access requirements and site instructions. We then prepare a clear scope and checklist showing what is included, how often each task is completed and what remains the responsibility of your clinical team.

The Australian Guidelines for the Prevention and Control of Infection in Healthcare recommend a risk-based approach suited to the circumstances of each healthcare setting. Your cleaning plan should be practical for your facility rather than copied from a generic list.

GP Clinics, Dental Practices and Allied Health Centres

Our medical cleaning services can be tailored for:

  • General practices and family medical centres

  • Dental surgeries and dental practices

  • Specialist consulting suites

  • Physiotherapy, chiropractic and podiatry clinics

  • Psychology, counselling and other allied health centres

  • Community health and multi-practitioner facilities

Whether yours is a small practice or a larger centre with several treatment and staff areas, we tailor the cleaning service to its layout, opening hours and level of activity. The service can be reviewed as the practice changes. Facilities with larger office and administration areas can also ask about our commercial office cleaning services.

High-Touch Surface Cleaning

Frequently touched surfaces deserve consistent attention because they are used repeatedly by patients, practitioners, staff and visitors. Depending on the site and agreed scope, this may include door handles, light switches, reception counters, chair arms, handrails, taps, bathroom touchpoints and shared staff-area surfaces.
National guidelines advise cleaning frequently touched surfaces at least daily, when visibly soiled and after known contamination. They also distinguish routine environmental cleaning from cleaning shared clinical equipment between patients. We reflect that distinction in the site checklist so responsibilities are clear.

Waiting Rooms, Consulting Rooms, Bathrooms and Staff Areas

A medical-centre cleaning checklist may cover:

  1. Reception desks, entrance areas and waiting-room furniture

  2. Consulting rooms and agreed accessible surfaces

  3. Treatment rooms where included in the written scope

  4. Door glass, internal glass and suitable partitions

  5. Staff offices, meeting rooms and administration areas

  6. Kitchens, lunchrooms and staff breakout spaces

  7. Patient and staff bathrooms

  8. Vacuuming and mopping of carpeted and hard floors

  9. General-waste bins where included

  10. Restocking agreed washroom products and supplies, such as soap, toilet paper and paper-towel supplies.

We agree on the details before cleaning begins. In consulting and treatment rooms, some equipment, clinical surfaces or patient-care items may need to be cleaned by practice staff under the manufacturer's instructions and the facility's procedures.

Flexible Cleaning Around Patients and Staff

We discuss opening hours, appointments, staff routines, building access and preferred cleaning windows. If you need cleaning outside normal operating hours, let us know during the assessment, and we'll see what we can arrange.
If patient numbers, opening hours or room use changes, we can review how often you need cleaning and what's included. A contract-free service is also available if preferred, giving your facility room to scale cleaning up or down.

Products, Equipment and Cross-Contamination Procedures

We choose products to suit the task and surface. Where disinfection is required, we use a product appropriate for its intended purpose and follow the label, safety information, required contact time and manufacturer instructions. Disinfectants used in Australia are regulated by the Therapeutic Goods Administration according to their intended use and the claims made for them.

One of the most common requests from our medical clients is the use of a >10% sodium hypochlorite-based disinfectant. When suitable for the task and surface, it can be effective against a broad range of pathogens, such as tuberculosis, hepatitis B and C. We can also provide effective eco-friendly cleaning products for practices that would prefer a more environmentally conscious option.

The site plan records procedures used to reduce cross-contamination. Depending on the facility, these may include designated or colour-coded equipment, changing cloths and mop heads between zones, separating clean and used items, and working from cleaner areas towards dirtier areas.

If your practice has an infection-prevention plan, preferred products or restrictions for specialised surfaces, let us know during the assessment. These requirements can be added to the checklist before the service starts.

A Tailored Medical Cleaning Checklist

Your checklist is the practical reference for each clean. It can identify:

  • The rooms and surfaces included

  • The cleaning tasks and how often they are completed

  • High-touch points needing particular attention

  • Approved products and site-specific instructions

  • Areas, equipment or clinical tasks excluded from the cleaning scope

  • Waste streams and who is responsible for them

  • Consumables to be checked or restocked

  • Access, security and communication procedures

  • Quality checks and the process for reporting an issue

This supports consistent work and gives your practice a clear basis for reviewing and updating the service. If your premises also need exterior glass or paved areas maintained, ask about our window and pressure cleaning services.

Ask a Question

Can you clean consulting and treatment rooms?

Consulting and treatment-room cleaning can be included where appropriate and set out in writing. The assessment identifies surfaces our cleaners can service and any clinical equipment, patient-care items or specialised tasks that remain the responsibility of practice staff.

Do you handle clinical waste?

Clinical waste requires specialist handling and isn't automatically included in a standard clean. Let us know what types of waste your facility produces and how they are currently managed. Your cleaning plan will clearly outline any waste-handling tasks included in our service. Clinical waste collection or disposal must be discussed and arranged separately.

How often should a medical centre be cleaned?

The right schedule depends on patient numbers, operating hours, the services provided and how heavily each area is used. High-touch and high-traffic areas may need more frequent attention than offices or low-use rooms. We can discuss daily, several times a week or customised servicing and recommend a starting schedule after viewing the premises.

Can cleaning be scheduled outside patient hours?

Of course. Our team are fully flexible to your requirements, whether that's in-hours or out-of-hours cleaning. Submit a contact form with your request and our professional and helpful team will work with you to accommodate access, staffing and security requirements..

What is included in regular clinic cleaning?

What's included will depend on your facility. Your cleaning plan may cover reception and waiting areas, agreed surfaces in consulting rooms, staff areas, bathrooms, floors, general waste bins and frequently touched surfaces. We can also discuss restocking selected washroom supplies. Your quote and tailored checklist will clearly outline the rooms, cleaning tasks, schedule, products and any exclusions.
