How we clean specialty clinics in Lincoln
Where contamination concentrates
- Keyboards and imaging workstation surfaces
- Patient positioning aids
- Waiting-room seating
- Restroom fixtures
- Sink and dispenser surfaces
- Exam-room chairs
Our sequence, step by step
- Map each room's specialty equipment and agree which surfaces the clinical team reprocesses per the manufacturer's instructions.
- Clean environmental surfaces around the equipment with products compatible with its finishes.
- Clean before disinfecting where surfaces are visibly soiled, then hold the label contact time.
- Keep procedure rooms on their own cloths and equipment, cleaned last in the room order.
- Leave instruments, probes and patient-care devices to clinical staff.
A starting schedule
- Procedure rooms: environmental surfaces daily, patient-contact surfaces between patients by clinical staff.
- Exam and consult rooms: daily.
- Floors: daily.
Clinics that share space with other practices need the cleaning scope drawn along suite lines.

Survey findings we help Lincoln facilities prevent
Real, published regulatory findings — every citation links to its source.
CDC Infection Prevention Checklist for Outpatient Settings, semi-critical item definition and High-Level Disinfection items A to C
Semi-critical instruments and probes — those contacting mucous membranes or non-intact skin — given only a surface wipe rather than at least high-level disinfection, and not pre-cleaned first.
CDC Infection Prevention Checklist, non-critical item definition; CDC Core Practices 5f
Shared non-critical devices used across a procedure day — blood pressure cuffs, chin rests, headrests, positioning equipment — not cleaned and disinfected between patients according to the degree of contamination.
29 CFR 1910.1030(d)(4)(i) and (d)(4)(ii)(A)
No written schedule for cleaning and decontamination, and contaminated work surfaces not decontaminated after procedures, after spills, and at end of shift.
Questions worth asking at the walkthrough
- Are your products compatible with our equipment manufacturers' cleaning instructions?
- How do you sequence a procedure room versus a consult room?
- What documentation will you leave after each visit?
We answer each of these in writing after the free assessment.

Yes. Lincoln (Middlesex County) is one of the 109 Massachusetts cities and towns we serve. It is about 13 miles northeast of our Marlborough base in a straight line. Every engagement starts with a free on-site assessment; call (978) 307-8107.

No, and they should not be priced the same way either. The written schedule required by 29 CFR 1910.1030(d)(4)(i) is built around location, surface type, soil type, and the procedures performed, so a minor-procedure or cryotherapy room gets a different product set and frequency than a consult room with a desk and two chairs. Procedure rooms get contaminated work surfaces decontaminated after procedures, after spills, and at the end of the shift, per 29 CFR 1910.1030(d)(4)(ii)(A). Consult rooms get a high-touch pass. Same suite, two protocols, one document.
We do not invent a method for it. Where a manufacturer provides no cleaning and disinfection instructions, CDC's position is that the item is not suitable for multi-patient use, and improvising a chemistry risks either damaging the device or leaving it contaminated with no way to prove otherwise. We list every such device in the walkthrough report and hand it back to your administrator to resolve with the vendor. That is usually a short email and a returned document, and it closes a finding before a surveyor opens one.
The responsibility matrix showing which surfaces and devices are ours and which are clinical, the written cleaning and decontamination schedule under 29 CFR 1910.1030(d)(4)(i), product labels with EPA registration numbers and contact times, SDS sheets, the chemical storage and utility closet arrangement against 105 CMR 140.206, crew training records, and dated service logs. Surveyors test whether the method was defined and followed, not whether the floor looks clean. Dory's also carries $2 million in general liability and will issue a certificate naming your clinic.
