What medical office cleaning covers in Shirley
Our Shirley program for medical offices is written around one risk — patient-to-patient transfer via high-touch surfaces between visits — and one set of surfaces: exam tables, blood pressure cuffs, door hardware, waiting-room touch points.
Facility types we clean under this service:
- Physician Practices
- Urgent Care
- OB/GYN
- Pediatrics
Usually arranged with the practice manager.

Inside a Shirley service visit
The surfaces we prioritise in Shirley
- Exam table surface and paper-roll holder
- Blood pressure cuffs and wall-mounted diagnostic sets
- Pens, clipboards and payment terminals
- Waiting-room chair arms
- Restroom flush handles, grab bars and door locks
- Scale platform and height rod
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
- Safety Data Sheets for every product on site
- Signed service logs for each visit
- Certificate of insurance naming the practice
- ATP or fluorescent-marker results when verification is performed
Questions worth asking at the walkthrough
- What will our logs look like if a surveyor asks?
- Can you verify cleaning with ATP or fluorescent markers?
- Who do we call if something is missed?
We answer each of these in writing after the free assessment.
Shirley questions, answered
Yes. Shirley (Middlesex County) is one of the 109 Massachusetts cities and towns we serve. It is about 16 miles north of our Marlborough base in a straight line. Every engagement starts with a free on-site assessment; call (978) 307-8107.
All of them: 01464. If your facility sits on a town line, tell us the street address and we will confirm.
The typical healthcare setting here is no significant healthcare infrastructure. Shirley is on our regular routes, so if you operate a medical office in town we can schedule it alongside the neighboring towns we already serve.
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.
