Facility types we clean under this service:
- Physician Practices
- Urgent Care
- OB/GYN

Inside a Bedford service visit
The surfaces we prioritise in Bedford
- Exam table surface and paper-roll holder
- Blood pressure cuffs and wall-mounted diagnostic sets
- Rolling stools and exam-room chairs
- Computer keyboards, mice and wall-mounted screens
- Pens, clipboards and payment terminals
- Waiting-room chair arms
Our sequence, step by step
- Start each visit in the cleanest areas (offices, consult rooms) and finish in restrooms and soiled utility.
- Change cloths between rooms using a color-coded system so restroom cloths never reach exam rooms.
- Empty trash and recycling; leave sharps containers and regulated medical waste to your licensed hauler.
- Damp-mop hard floors and vacuum carpeted waiting areas with HEPA-filtered equipment.
- Record rooms completed, products used and any issues in the service log.
Frequency, area by area
- Exam rooms: patient-contact surfaces between patients (usually clinical staff); full clean daily.
- Waiting room and check-in: high-touch points several times a day in busy clinics, full clean daily.
- Walls, vents and light fixtures: on a periodic schedule or when visibly soiled.
Most medical offices are cleaned after the last patient leaves, so exam rooms are ready for the first morning appointment.
What you keep on file

Bedford questions, answered
Yes. Bedford (Middlesex County) is one of the 109 Massachusetts cities and towns we serve. It is about 17 miles northeast of our Marlborough base in a straight line. Every engagement starts with a free on-site assessment; call (978) 307-8107.
All of them: 01730. If your facility sits on a town line, tell us the street address and we will confirm.

We do not transport, seal, or dispose of regulated medical waste, and we do not replace sharps containers. That is your staff's responsibility, and disposal runs through your licensed medical waste vendor under Massachusetts rules. What we do is keep the area around the containers clean, report containers approaching the fill line, and flag containment problems: a container that is not closable, not leak-proof, or missing the biohazard label or color coding required by 29 CFR 1910.1030(d)(4)(iii). Scope clarity here protects you more than a broader service description would.
Healthcare-specific training, before they enter a clinical space. Section I item C of the CDC Infection Prevention Checklist for Outpatient Settings expects that personnel who clean are trained on and provided the PPE needed to avoid exposure both to infectious agents and to the disinfectant chemicals themselves. Our crews are trained on bloodborne pathogens, clean-to-dirty work direction, color-coded microfiber to prevent transfer between rooms, and the label requirements of the specific products in your building. Jeneva Thomas, who founded the company, brings 22 years of clinical experience to that training.
A binder and a digital copy containing the written cleaning and decontamination schedule required by 29 CFR 1910.1030(d)(4)(i), the product list with EPA registration numbers, current SDS sheets, label contact times, crew training records, and dated service logs showing what was cleaned and when. Surveyors rarely dispute that cleaning happens; they ask you to prove the method and the frequency were defined and then followed. Dory's carries $2 million in general liability, and we will issue a certificate naming your practice on request.
