How we clean outpatient and ambulatory surgery centers in Boylston
High-touch surfaces on every visit
- Pre-op and PACU bay rails and call devices
- Scrub sink handles
- Keyboards and workstation surfaces
- Kick buckets and step stools
- Restroom fixtures

How a visit runs
- Confirm who turns rooms between cases and what the end-of-day terminal clean covers.
- Terminal-clean each procedure room after the last case: high to low, clean to dirty, including the entire floor.
- Clean lights, booms and equipment exteriors with products compatible with their finishes.
- Clean pre-op and recovery bays, curtains on your schedule, and call devices.
- Sign a completion record for every room.
How often
- Procedure rooms: turnover between cases by the perioperative team; terminal clean after the last case each day of use.
- Sterile processing: daily, clean to dirty.
- Waiting and restrooms: daily.
Terminal cleaning starts after the last case, so crews work evenings on the center's schedule.

Before you sign with a cleaning company

The CDC Infection Prevention Checklist for Outpatient Settings, Section II item C, requires a one-directional workflow from contaminated to clean and sterile areas with clear separation of soiled and clean workspaces. Cleaning is a common way that gets violated — one cart, one set of cloths, one cleaner walking dirty-to-clean. We assign dedicated equipment to the soiled side, clean the clean side first and the decontamination side last, and staff exit rather than backtrack. Our people do not move instruments, trays or sterile packs to reach a surface; they clean around them or ask your technician to relocate the item.
No. Instrument cleaning, high-level disinfection and sterilization belong to trained sterile processing personnel following each device manufacturer's instructions for use, and no environmental services contractor should be handling them. We clean the room the reprocessing happens in — floors, walls, sinks' exteriors, counters that your technicians release to us, carts and waste — and we clean the exterior of sterilizers only where the manufacturer's instructions permit and your team has authorized it. Being explicit about this protects the center: a surveyor finding that housekeeping was reprocessing devices is a far worse day than a cleaning finding.
Exhibit 351 Section IV item C asks whether environmental surfaces in patient care areas are cleaned and disinfected on a regular basis, when spills occur, and when visibly contaminated — three separate triggers, and the last two do not wait for a scheduled round. We staff to your case day rather than after hours only: an assigned on-site presence covering recovery bays, pre-op, restrooms and waiting during operating hours, with a defined response time for spills. Recovery bay turnover is written into the scope with the same specificity as the OR, because it is patient care area and gets surveyed as such.
