MEDICAL CLEANING

Cleaning Surgeries and Medical Centres present a significantly increased risk by the very nature of the environment and function. What we refer to as medical cleaning is a culmination of competence, training, effective staff management, monitoring, listening to our clients exacting needs, formulating and managing cleaning task schedules to ensure every area has sufficient time spent to allow a thorough clean ensuring all surfaces are not only cleaned but sanitised in the process. We only work in medical environments and are familiar with the risk from handling contaminated waste, Infection Control etc and the importance of patient confidentiality.

SWAB TESTING

The medical environment poses a substantial risk for transmission of pathogens. However, assessing cleaning efficiency is difficult and often is carried out by a subjective visual check only.

Waterfront Medical Cleaning Ltd use the ATP-bioluminescence assay technology to assist in evaluation of the environmental cleaning process by counting living and non-living organic matter in Relative Light Units (RLUs).

Samples are taken at various points from the working environment and cross checked with previous results to ensure efficancy of cleaning.

STEAM CLEANING

Dirt and grime have adhesive qualities that enable them to stick onto all types of surfaces. The heat of the steam melts the adhesive and the dampness of the steam dilutes the adhesive. A wipe with a cloth quickly clears the dirt or grime away. Steam is a natural source using just clean water to create a powerful cleaning force. The absence of potentially harmful and expensive chemicals make it an extremely easy, safe and cost effective way to clean round your surgery. Steam leaves no toxic residues on surfaces and won't stain fabrics. Steam kills well known bacteria such as e-coli, listeria, and salmonella. Using only water means it's environmentally friendly as well.

CARPET CLEANING

A clean environment starts from the ground up. Vacuuming isn't enough. Carpets require a regular deep-clean to keep them looking their best, prevent them harbouring dirt, germs or allergens and keep them lasting for years. Even the best vacuum cleaners only remove a small fraction of the deep down dirt and don't remove stains or lingering odours caused by patients, fluid spillages and stains. This is why deep cleaning is so important. We use advanced technology to get to the places where vacuums can't reach. Our machines inject cleaning products and hot water deep into your carpet, and a unique vibrating brush works in an oscillating motion to loosen tough ground-in grime. The powerful vacuum extraction then extracts this dirt and moisture, removing 80% of the cleaning solution so the fabric can be dry within two hours. If required a Scotchguard© protector can be applied, to reduce further risks of staining and spillage absorption.
