When patients walk into your dental office, they’ll notice how clean it is, how bright it is, and all the aesthetics that might give them clues about your service and skills. However, it is important to clean and disinfect daily and between patients, especially during the COVID-19 pandemic. Your patients still need to come in for cleanings and dental work but want to feel safe and at ease about your office’s cleanliness. To make dental office cleaning easy, we’ve created an easy-to-follow Dental Office Cleaning Checklist (below). The checklist covers high-touch areas to clean and disinfect and areas to focus on daily, weekly, and monthly with your cleaning routine.

Of course, if cleaning and disinfecting daily, weekly or monthly, is something you’d rather outsource, schedule a free consultation to discuss your cleaning needs. At Integrity Janitorial Cleaning Services, we understand that maintaining your dental’s office health and cleanliness is of the utmost importance to you, your medical staff, and, most importantly, your patients. Our cleaning crews are professionally trained and highly experienced in maintaining dental offices and healthcare facilities of all kinds with a particular focus on thorough cleaning, sanitizing, and disinfecting methods to promote overall patient satisfaction.
