Harvard rehabilitation clinics: how we clean
Our Harvard program for rehabilitation clinics is written around one risk — direct skin contact with shared equipment all day, with no barrier — MRSA and fungal transfer — and one set of surfaces: treatment tables, mats, therabands, free weights, exercise balls, parallel bars, treadmills.
Facility types we clean under this service:
- Physical Therapy
- Occupational Therapy
- Sports Medicine
- Chiropractic
Usually arranged with the clinic director (pt / ot / speech).
We give rehabilitation clinics and senior care facilities particular focus — see how we clean them.

Survey findings we help Harvard facilities prevent
Real, published regulatory findings — every citation links to its source.
CDC Infection Prevention Checklist for Outpatient Settings, Section I item B
Cleaning staff have not received job-specific training and competency validation at hire and whenever procedures or products change.
CDC Infection Prevention Checklist for Outpatient Settings, Section I item D
Cleaning is never monitored or assessed — no evidence the clinic checks that it is consistently and correctly performed.
CDC Infection Prevention Checklist for Outpatient Settings, non-critical item definition; CDC Core Infection Prevention and Control Practices 5f
Treatment tables, mats, weights and bands that contact intact skin are wiped but not cleaned and then disinfected between patients at the level the degree of soiling requires.
Questions worth asking at the walkthrough
- Which products will you use on our table upholstery and mats?
- Will you clean the free weights and cardio equipment every visit?
- What logs will we receive?
We answer each of these in writing after the free assessment.
FAQ: rehabilitation clinic cleaning in Harvard
Yes. Harvard (Worcester County) is one of the 109 Massachusetts cities and towns we serve. It is about 11 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: 01451. If your facility sits on a town line, tell us the street address and we will confirm.
The closest served towns to Harvard are Boxborough (about 3.7 mi), Ayer (about 4.4 mi), Bolton (about 4.5 mi). See the full list on our service areas page.
The ones closest to the patient and touched most: plinth rails and adjustment levers, parallel bars, treadmill handrails and consoles, cable grips, dumbbell handles, door hardware, and treatment room light switches. CDC Core Practices 5b and Section II item A of the Infection Prevention Checklist call for high-touch surfaces near the patient to sit on a more frequent schedule than general environmental surfaces. In practice that means a mid-day high-touch circuit through the gym on top of the terminal clean, and that mid-day circuit is where most clinics have a gap.
No. Tank filling, draining, chemical treatment, and disinfection are clinical equipment protocols set by the tank manufacturer, with their own logs and competency requirements, and they belong to your staff. We clean the room around it: floors, drains, walls, benches, handrails, and door hardware, which is where wet-area soil actually accumulates. If the hydrotherapy area shows standing water, a slow drain, or degraded flooring, that goes into our report, because those are environmental conditions and raising them is our job.
Because training and competency validation are documented rather than assumed. Section I item B of the CDC Infection Prevention Checklist expects cleaning personnel to receive job-specific training and competency validation at hire and whenever procedures or products change. Our crews are trained on clean-to-dirty sequencing, color-coded microfiber, contact time discipline, and the specific products in your building, with records kept per person. Jeneva Thomas founded Dory's after 22 years of clinical experience, which is why the training is written around real findings rather than around a supply catalog.
