Goodbye Social Distancing: How to Keep Your Medical / Healthcare Centre Clean

Suzanne Whitton • July 18, 2022

Earlier this year, NHS facilities said goodbye to social distancing measures, returning to pre-pandemic physical distancing in all areas. 


But while hospital settings are saying goodbye to social distancing, rigorous cleaning is here to stay. NHS England bosses stated that the NHS must adapt to operating with Covid-19 in "general circulation and with the virus likely to remain endemic for some time to come".

With a wealth of experience cleaning over 60 hospitals and medical centres, at Rapid Clean, we are experienced in providing a fully managed service that meets CQC health and safety standards. Having helped a wide range of medical facilities adapt to the demanding cleaning requirements during Covid 19, we are now helping sites tackle changing advice as we move out of the pandemic. 


Here are some of our proven processes to keep medical and healthcare facilities clean:

1. Limit Cross-Contamination Between Areas


Tackling the cleaner areas first decreases the likelihood of spreading pathogens from the dirty areas to the cleaner ones. For each area, we supply disposable mop heads and different coloured clothes to further prevent cross-contamination. This makes our process more effective and safer.


2. Don’t Forget to Clean Less Frequently Visited Areas


Even areas that don’t get used frequently can become dirty and result in a breeding ground for organisms. If not cleaned regularly, these can spread to other areas. Leaving no corner untouched, our experienced cleaning team is efficient at cleaning every area to the highest standard.


3. Select the Right Disinfectant


All of the disinfectants we use have been assessed for their effectiveness, safety, and environmental impact. We use high-quality cleaning products along with a Triple 8 Dosing system (a chemical that comes in a highly concentrated format with an easy dosing system so we can dilute chemicals on site). This allows us to reduce our use of single-use plastics whilst opting for the best cleaning products for your facilities. 


From hospitals and doctors' surgeries, to veterinary practices and dental facilities, we are trusted to carry out an exceptional service to a wide range of medical sites. Let our experienced cleaning operatives take care of your cleaning regime with a fully managed service that will ensure your premises are cleaned to the highest standard.
