- Physician Practices
- Urgent Care
- OB/GYN
- Primary Care
Usually arranged with the practice manager.

Real, published regulatory findings — every citation links to its source.
29 CFR 1910.1030(d)(4)(i)
No written schedule for cleaning and method of decontamination based on location, surface type, soil type and the procedures performed. This is an explicit OSHA requirement, not a recommendation.
29 CFR 1910.1030(d)(4)(ii)(A)
Contaminated work surfaces not decontaminated after procedures, immediately after a spill, and at the end of a shift where the surface may have become contaminated.

How we clean medical offices in Needham
Where contamination concentrates
- Door handles and push plates
- Light switches
- Sink faucet handles and soap dispensers
- Check-in counter and sign-in tablet
- Restroom flush handles, grab bars and door locks
- Scale platform and height rod
How a visit runs
- Agree the room-by-room scope and who disinfects patient-contact surfaces between visits.
- Start each visit in the cleanest areas (offices, consult rooms) and finish in restrooms and soiled utility.
- Clean visibly soiled surfaces before disinfecting; the label claim assumes a pre-cleaned surface.
- Apply an EPA-registered hospital disinfectant and keep each surface wet for its full label contact time.
- Empty trash and recycling; leave sharps containers and regulated medical waste to your licensed hauler.
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.
- Restrooms: at least daily, more often in high-volume practices.
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
- Room-by-room cleaning schedule with frequencies

EPA-registered products, drawn from EPA List N where an emerging viral pathogen claim is needed, and matched to the surface and the soil load. The controlling document is the manufacturer's label: dilution, contact time, shelf life, and storage. Most failures we correct are contact time failures, where the surface is dry well before the label kill time. Our crews clean first, then disinfect, and keep the surface visibly wet for the labeled dwell. Product labels and SDS sheets stay on site in your binder so you can check them without calling us.
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.
