Medical Office Cleaning for Southborough facilities
In a medical office, most cleaning failures happen at exam tables, blood pressure cuffs, door hardware, waiting-room touch points. That is where our Southborough crews start, because the underlying risk is patient-to-patient transfer via high-touch surfaces between visits.
Facility types we clean under this service:
- Physician Practices
- Urgent Care
- OB/GYN
- Pediatrics
Usually arranged with the practice manager.

Inside a Southborough service visit
Where contamination concentrates
- 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
- Clean visibly soiled surfaces before disinfecting; the label claim assumes a pre-cleaned surface.
- 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.
How often
- Restrooms: at least daily, more often in high-volume practices.
- Floors: daily damp-mop of hard floors; carpet vacuumed daily and extracted on a periodic schedule.
- Walls, vents and light fixtures: on a periodic schedule or when visibly soiled.
Practices with early clinics often prefer an evening clean plus a short midday restroom and waiting-room refresh.
Records for your surveyors
- Room-by-room cleaning schedule with frequencies

Protective coverings on equipment and surfaces not removed and replaced when contaminated or at the end of the shift.
29 CFR 1910.1030(d)(4)(ii)(C)
Reusable bins, pails and cans likely to become contaminated are not inspected and decontaminated on a schedule, and not cleaned immediately when visibly contaminated.
Questions worth asking at the walkthrough
- What will our logs look like if a surveyor asks?

- Who do we call if something is missed?
We answer each of these in writing after the free assessment.
Southborough questions, answered
Yes. Southborough (Worcester County) is one of the 109 Massachusetts cities and towns we serve. It is about 3 miles south of our Marlborough base in a straight line. Every engagement starts with a free on-site assessment; call (978) 307-8107.
All of them: 01772. If your facility sits on a town line, tell us the street address and we will confirm.
The closest served towns to Southborough are Marlborough (about 3.6 mi), Ashland (about 4 mi), Framingham (about 4.7 mi). See the full list on our service areas page.
Both. 29 CFR 1910.1030(d)(4)(ii)(C) requires that bins, pails, cans, and similar receptacles likely to become contaminated be inspected and decontaminated on a regularly scheduled basis, and cleaned and decontaminated immediately or as soon as feasible when visibly contaminated. Liner changes alone do not satisfy that paragraph. We put receptacle decontamination on a named interval in your written schedule, inspect at every visit, and pull anything visibly soiled out of rotation for cleaning that night rather than waiting for the scheduled cycle.
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.
