Deep Cleaning Services for Medical & Healthcare Facilities in Calgary

In medical environments such as hospitals, clinics, and dental offices, cleanliness is not just a matter of appearance, it’s a critical factor in patient recovery and safety. Dirt and hygiene simply do not coexist. Poor sanitation can pose a risk even to healthy individuals, and in a hospital setting, it can significantly worsen the condition of vulnerable patients.

Cleanliness is especially vital for post-operative care areas, where patients are highly susceptible to infection. That’s why all medical spaces must be cleaned regularly and with exceptional attention to detail.

Whether it’s a private clinic or a large hospital, effective cleaning can only be achieved through the proper use of professional-grade equipment and approved medical-grade cleaning agents.

The Importance of Professional Cleaning for Medical Facilities

Professional cleaning is essential for maintaining a safe, hygienic environment in any medical facility, whether it’s a hospital, clinic, or specialized care centre. The process always begins with the removal of organic matter, which is pre-treated, disinfected using specialized solutions, and then thoroughly cleaned. Even a single poorly maintained corner or the space beneath a hospital bed can become a breeding ground for harmful bacteria.

In many cases, such as post-renovation cleaning or deep sanitization, standard efforts aren’t enough. These tasks require professional-grade equipment, certified disinfectants, and trained specialists who know how to handle them safely and effectively.

Our Medical Facility Cleaning Services Include:

• Wet cleaning of floors, windows, and furniture
• Thorough cleaning of showers, washrooms, and plumbing areas
• Dishwashing, fridge cleaning, and sanitation of toys (in pediatric units)

Clinic Cleaning Services

Cleaning a medical clinic comes with its own set of unique requirements. Clinics serve a high volume of both healthy and ill individuals, making cleanliness not just a matter of appearance but a critical part of operational safety. Ongoing cleaning must be performed in strict accordance with established health and hygiene regulations.

Maintaining a clean and sanitary environment, both inside the clinic and on the surrounding grounds, requires a well-structured cleaning strategy, the use of modern equipment, and high-performance cleaning solutions.

Hospital Cleaning Services

Comprehensive hospital cleaning requires specialized equipment—tools that many medical facilities may not have the capacity to purchase or maintain. In addition, proper use of this equipment demands trained professionals who understand the complexities of hospital sanitation. That’s where a trusted cleaning partner like MOLCLEAN can make all the difference. Our experienced specialists are equipped with the latest technology and techniques, far beyond what in-house janitorial staff typically use.

Deep cleaning in a hospital goes far beyond mopping floors. It includes:

• Thorough disinfection of all rooms and high-touch surfaces
• Sanitization of medical equipment, furniture, walls, and floors
• Cleaning of everything from door handles to waiting room chairs
• Full exterior cleaning of the facility’s grounds and entrances
   

This level of work is time-consuming and requires a large, well-trained team, resources most hospitals don’t have readily available.

Key Characteristics of Medical Facility Deep Cleaning

Deep cleaning in medical settings involves a structured series of procedures designed to ensure a safe and hygienic environment for both patients and staff. This type of cleaning differs significantly from standard cleaning practices and includes the following key components:

• Complete removal of all surface contaminants, including visible dirt, dust, and residue from common areas
   
• Thorough disinfection of medical furniture and equipment, such as examination tables, stretchers, and any surface that may come into contact with patients' skin
   
• Post-cleaning disinfection of rooms and surfaces, performed using specialized equipment and medical-grade cleaning agents
   

These procedures are carried out regularly, with specific frequency depending on the area:

• At least once per week in aseptic environments such as treatment rooms, procedure rooms, sterilization areas, operating theatres, and delivery suites
   
• At least once per month in consultation offices, inpatient wards, and diagnostic areas, including full disinfection of wall panels, ceiling structures, fixtures, equipment, and lighting systems
   

Unscheduled deep cleaning may also be required in response to negative sterility audits or elevated levels of microbial contamination. On such days, all surgical activity is suspended to allow for uninterrupted sanitation procedures.

Key Requirements for Selecting Cleaning Products and Equipment in Medical Facilities

When organizing cleaning procedures in medical facilities, it's essential to select cleaning products and tools that meet professional standards and ensure a high-quality result. Only professional-grade equipment and certified cleaning agents should be used. All cleaning and disinfection tasks must be carried out by trained personnel who have completed specialized instruction and strictly follow the health and safety standards set by Alberta Health.

Equipment Requirements for Effective Deep Cleaning:

• Carpet and textile surface cleaning must be performed using specialized commercial equipment such as professional-grade vacuums (e.g., models by Kärcher, Cleanfix).
   
• Steam disinfection is essential for deep surface sanitization. This process should be carried out with powerful, hospital-approved steam cleaners designed for medical use.
   
• Wet carpet cleaning and upholstery care should involve the use of professional-grade wet vacuums and extractors that effectively remove contaminants while preserving surface integrity.
   

By using appropriate tools and products, cleaning teams can meet the strict hygiene demands of healthcare settings and contribute to a safe, compliant, and sanitary environment.

To minimize the risk of infections and ensure compliance with health and safety standards, all cleaning tools and materials used in healthcare environments must be properly labelled and colour-coded. These practices are essential for maintaining hygiene protocols as outlined by Alberta Health.

Key Guidelines for Equipment and Material Labelling:

• Buckets, mops, and other cleaning tools must be clearly marked to reflect their designated use, preventing cross-contamination between different zones.
   
• Microfibre cloths and other cleaning fabrics must be colour-coded based on the type of room or surface they are intended for:
   
  • Red: For high-risk areas such as public washrooms and shower facilities
     
  • Green: For surgical suites, treatment rooms, and dressing areas
     
  • Yellow: For wall surfaces and vertical panels
     
  • Blue: For general areas such as staff rooms, kitchens, food prep areas, and storage spaces
     
• Cleaning agents and disinfectant solutions must also be labelled with detailed preparation instructions, including the dilution ratio required to achieve the correct concentration. Each container should include a clear diagram or formula to ensure accuracy and safety during use.
   

Adhering to these practices helps ensure consistency, prevents misuse of products, and supports a safer, more sanitary healthcare environment.

Cost of Cleaning Services for Medical Facilities

The cost of cleaning services in medical facilities is determined by several factors, including the total area of the premises, the complexity of the work, the type of cleaning agents required, and the frequency and timeline of the service.

An initial assessment is conducted to evaluate the scope of work and provide an accurate quote. Once terms are agreed upon, cleaning services are scheduled, with ongoing quality control measures in place to ensure consistent, high-standard results.
