Healthcare facility cleaning demands far more than standard janitorial services. At INTEGRA Integrated Facility Solutions, we understand the high-risk environments and the critical role that environmental hygiene plays in patient outcomes, infection control, and regulatory compliance. Our protocols are aligned with CDC, OSHA, and HIPAA standards to ensure safety, privacy, and compliance at every step.
Specialized Staff Training
Our technicians are thoroughly trained in:
- Safety around biohazardous materials
- Cleaning protocols for high-risk and patient-sensitive areas
- CDC infection control procedures, including contact time compliance
- HIPAA awareness to protect personal health information (PHI) during service
Initial Walkthrough & Assessment
We begin each engagement with a detailed walkthrough and consultation to understand your facility and cleaning priorities. This allows us to develop a tailored cleaning plan based on:
- Facility Layout Review: Conduct an in-depth evaluation of all spaces—exam rooms, offices, corridors, restrooms, procedure areas, and specialty zones (e.g., isolation rooms, labs, or IT/server rooms)
- Client Needs Assessment: Identification of priorities including eco-friendly solutions, high-traffic areas, infection-sensitive zones, and unique scheduling or service requests
Daily & Routine Cleaning Tasks
Our healthcare-grade daily cleaning tasks include:
- Dusting & Surface Disinfection: Wiping all high-touch and horizontal surfaces (desks, counters, exam tables, etc.)
- Floor Care: Sweeping, mopping, and vacuuming appropriate to the flooring type and usage level

Healthcare-Specific Protocols
To combat the threat of Healthcare-Associated Infections (HAIs), our services incorporate:
- Infection Control: We follow CDC-backed environmental cleaning procedures that break the chain of infection and reduce microbial transmission
