Healthcare Cleaning in Oklahoma City
Keeping a medical facility clean isn’t just about appearance—it’s about protecting people. From patients to providers, everyone in your clinic relies on safe, sanitary conditions that align with healthcare regulations. Falling short isn’t just risky—it can also lead to failed inspections, legal consequences, and damaged reputation.
In this guide, we’ll walk through the core cleaning and disinfection standards from CDC and OSHA, and what your clinic or medical office should do to stay compliant every day.
Why Compliance Matters in Healthcare Cleaning
In clinical settings, cleaning isn’t just cosmetic—it’s clinical. Proper disinfection helps prevent the spread of infectious diseases, supports patient recovery, and reduces staff absenteeism.
Facilities that fail to meet CDC or OSHA cleaning requirements risk:
Cross-contamination between patients
Healthcare-associated infections (HAIs)
Fines or penalties during inspections
Negative reviews or reputational loss
What the CDC Says About Cleaning in Medical Facilities
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) outlines clear guidance for environmental cleaning in healthcare environments. Here’s a simplified breakdown of what that looks like:
Core CDC Cleaning Guidelines:
Clean and disinfect high-touch surfaces frequently (e.g., door handles, bed rails, light switches)
Use EPA-registered disinfectants proven effective against emerging pathogens
Ensure proper contact time (the amount of time a disinfectant must sit to work)
Follow a routine schedule for cleaning and disinfection—especially for shared spaces
Train all staff on cleaning protocols and PPE use
OSHA’s Role in Healthcare Cleaning Standards
The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) protects healthcare workers from exposure to bloodborne pathogens and other risks.
OSHA Requirements to Be Aware Of:
Proper handling and disposal of biohazardous waste
Clear procedures for cleaning blood spills and bodily fluids
Use of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) during all cleaning tasks
Availability of Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) for all cleaning chemicals
Documentation of employee training on safety procedures
Key Areas That Require Special Attention
Even with regular janitorial services, some areas in clinics and medical offices are often missed. These include:
Waiting room furniture and clipboards
Light switches and door handles
Cabinet pulls and drawer handles
Exam table bases and undersides
Phones, tablets, keyboards, and touchscreens
Restroom surfaces, especially around sinks and toilets
To stay compliant, create a detailed cleaning checklist that outlines frequency, products used, and responsibility.
