COVID-19 Disinfection & Outbreak Response

Sanitation Is More Than Appearance

Healthcare environments require sanitation practices that go beyond cosmetic cleaning.

Facility administrators are responsible for maintaining safe environments for patients, staff, and visitors. Poor sanitation practices can create unnecessary risk for healthcare organizations.

Dory's Cleaning Services works with clinical environments to provide structured sanitation support designed for environments where safety, professionalism, and accountability matter.

Our services focus on:

• High-touch surface sanitation
• Consistent environmental maintenance
• Professional environmental cleaning protocols
• Discreet and respectful staff presence
• Reliable service schedules

We understand healthcare facilities require dependable service partners who respect the seriousness of the environment they operate within.

Why Clinical Cleaning Differs From Standard Janitorial

A standard janitorial company cleans for visual appearance. Healthcare facility cleaning requires evidence-based protocols designed to break the chain of infection transmission. Patients, staff, and visitors depend on environmental controls that go far beyond what a typical office cleaning service is trained to deliver.

Our clinical cleaning team applies disinfectants with proper dwell times, follows clean-to-dirty sequencing, uses color-coded microfiber to prevent cross-contamination, and documents every step. We understand that the cost of an inadequate cleaning program is measured in healthcare-associated infections (HAIs), regulatory fines, and patient safety incidents — not in dollars saved on supplies.

According to the CDC, 1 in 31 hospital patients has at least one HAI on any given day, and many of these infections are linked to environmental contamination. The right cleaning partner is a critical component of your infection prevention program — not just a vendor.

Compliance, Certifications & Documentation

Massachusetts healthcare facilities are subject to multiple layers of regulatory oversight. Our cleaning protocols are designed to support your compliance program across:

• Massachusetts Department of Public Health (DPH): 105 CMR 130 hospital licensure, 105 CMR 140 clinic regulations, 105 CMR 150 long-term care facilities, and 105 CMR 451 sanitary code requirements.
• OSHA Bloodborne Pathogens Standard (29 CFR 1910.1030): All staff complete annual bloodborne pathogen training before deployment to clinical environments.
• CDC Environmental Infection Control Guidelines: Cleaning sequences, contact times, and hand hygiene protocols aligned with CDC HICPAC recommendations.
• EPA-Registered Hospital-Grade Disinfectants: List N (SARS-CoV-2), List H (Candida auris), and List K (C. difficile) products applied with documented contact times.
• HIPAA Privacy Awareness: Environmental services staff trained on patient privacy in clinical areas, including handling of materials that may contain protected health information.
• Joint Commission & AAAHC Survey Support: Documentation, audit trails, and quality control reports formatted to support accreditation surveys.

ATP Bioluminescence Verification — Proof Your Facility Is Truly Clean

Visual inspection only confirms that surfaces look clean. ATP (Adenosine Triphosphate) bioluminescence testing measures the amount of organic residue on a surface in 10 seconds — providing objective, numerical proof of disinfection effectiveness. This is the same technology used by infection prevention programs in major U.S. hospitals.

We offer ATP verification testing as part of our standard quality control program. Pass/fail readings are logged for each tested surface, giving your facility documented evidence of cleaning effectiveness for accreditation surveys, internal quality reviews, and patient safety committees.

Most healthcare facilities in Massachusetts have never had their surfaces objectively verified — not because they don't care, but because nobody has offered them the technology. Until now.

Cleaning Frequency & Service Options

We design cleaning frequency around your patient volume, facility size, risk classification, and regulatory requirements. Common service patterns include:

Every plan includes scheduled walkthroughs by our quality control supervisor and quarterly reviews to adjust scope as your facility's needs change.
