Welcoming areas and staff spaces
A practice has customer-facing rooms and everyday staff areas that need regular attention. General cleaning focuses on agreed non-clinical spaces and suitable surfaces.
- Reception counters and waiting-room surfaces
- Administrative offices and shared staff rooms
- Restrooms and staff kitchenettes
- Routine floor cleaning in agreed areas
Define any clinical requirements separately
Treatment areas, clinical equipment, regulated waste and specialist infection-control work have additional requirements. Identify those needs when requesting a quote so suitability can be assessed before any commitment.
- Specify non-clinical and restricted areas
- Share product instructions and practice requirements
- Review specialist work separately from general janitorial tasks
Scheduling around the practice
Access, appointment times and sensitive materials affect how work should be arranged. A scope should make clear what may be cleaned and what must remain untouched.
- Provide room counts and preferred cleaning windows
- Clarify entry and security arrangements
- Agree on handling instructions for accessible surfaces
