What medical office cleaning usually covers
- Waiting rooms, front desk and high-touch surfaces such as door handles, chair arms and pens.
- Restrooms cleaned and disinfected, and soap, paper and sanitizer restocked.
- Exam and treatment room floors, trash and non-clinical surfaces, as your practice defines them.
- Break rooms, offices and hallways.
What is different about medical offices
OSHA's Bloodborne Pathogens standard (29 CFR 1910.1030) requires employers whose workers can be exposed to blood to keep the worksite "in a clean and sanitary condition" and to set a written schedule for cleaning and the method of decontamination. Contaminated work surfaces must be decontaminated with an appropriate disinfectant after procedures, after spills, and at the end of a shift if they may have been contaminated. Contaminated sharps go in closable, puncture-resistant, labeled containers.
In practice, agree a clear split of duties with your cleaning company: who disinfects exam surfaces between patients, who handles sharps containers and regulated waste (usually a licensed medical waste hauler, not the cleaning crew), and which disinfectants are used.
Questions to ask before you sign
- Have your cleaners worked in medical or dental offices, and can you give references?
- Are your staff trained on bloodborne pathogens, and who provides the training?
- Which disinfectants will you use on which surfaces, and do they match what our clinical team uses?
- Exactly which rooms and surfaces are yours, and which stay with our staff?
- How do you keep your staff away from patient records and medication areas?
For the insurance, bonding and contract questions every building should ask, see janitorial services.

What OSHA rule covers cleaning in a medical office?
The Bloodborne Pathogens standard, 29 CFR 1910.1030, requires a clean and sanitary worksite, a written cleaning and decontamination schedule, and decontamination of contaminated surfaces with an appropriate disinfectant.
