Not all commercial cleaners who claim medical office experience deliver the same scope. Before signing, you should know exactly which tasks are included in a standard visit and which are billed as add-ons.
Standard Inclusions in a Medical Office Cleaning Service
- Exam room disinfection: exam tables, equipment housings, counters and high-touch surfaces disinfected to correct contact time — see our exam room disinfection service page
- Waiting room and reception cleaning: seating, check-in surfaces, door hardware and glass — see our waiting room cleaning service page
- Restroom cleaning: toilets, sinks, mirrors and floors scrubbed and disinfected; consumables restocked
- Floor care: vacuuming, mopping and floor disinfection appropriate to clinical vs. non-clinical zones
- Trash removal: including biohazard-adjacent waste per your facility's own protocol
- Operatory and sterilization-area cleaning: for dental and specialty practices — see our dental & specialty cleaning service page
Common Add-Ons (Usually Priced Separately)
- Terminal cleaning following a suspected infectious case
- Carpet extraction in non-clinical carpeted areas
- Post-construction or renovation cleanup
- High dusting (vents, ceiling fixtures)
What to Ask Your Provider
Ask the provider to walk through exactly which surfaces are disinfected versus simply cleaned, which EPA-registered products they use, and to confirm crew training on OSHA Bloodborne Pathogen standards. Request a written scope of work rather than a verbal agreement.
