Medical or healthcare facilities are know for nosocomial infections. Having knowledge of this helps gear yourself for cleaning commercial spaces. There has to be a very high standard when cleaning medical or healthcare facilities because you do not want to spread a disease due to inadequate cleaning. These facilities handle the vulnerable in society and hence the extreme cleaning requirements. To see how to clean medical facilities visit CDC. 

With the knowledge of cleaning medical facilities we can apply these practices to cleaning non-medical facilities. Firstly, training of the employees. All employees will need to go through the blood-borne pathogen training,  Chemical Hazard Training, and medical cleaning Training. This will ensure adequate preparedness for the safety of the employee and the clients.

Secondly, I will require employees to wear PPE just like cleaning a hospital. Providing employees with disposable gloves, aprons etc. Protecting business reputation starts with taking care of your employee. Every employee should come to work knowing that she/he will go back to his/her family safe.  

Thirdly, the use of effective chemicals that are CDC recommended and approved by EPA. To see the list of approved chemicals click here. This to ensure that you are not creating a false sense of safety to employees and the clients. These chemicals should also be used with the right PPEs and the right concentrations.

Finally, keeping the cleaning records. Making a comprehensive list of all areas being cleaned and once cleaned an employee signing off as well as being verified by a supervisor. These records include chemical titrations if you are using concentrated chemicals. This will ensure that you can be able to provide information on your cleaning practices if called upon.
