Infection Prevention Without the Stress – GP Surgery Cleaning in Retford

The Hidden Pressure of Infection Control

Every GP surgery in Retford knows that IPC (Infection Prevention and Control) is non-negotiable. However, managing it internally, in addition to patient care, administration, and audits, can become a daily stressor.

Between hand hygiene, waste management, and sanitising every touchpoint, even the most minor gaps in cleaning can become inspection failures or, worse, infection risks.

That’s where we come in.

 

Real-World Compliance That Doesn’t Feel Like Extra Work

At Clean Sweep Commercial, we don’t just “do the cleaning.” We handle the hygiene strategy that underpins your IPC compliance quietly, thoroughly, and without adding any extra administration for your team.

Our cleaning plans are built with the 2025 National Standards of Healthcare Cleanliness in mind and are tailored to your surgery’s risk ratings. Whether you’re a single-practice operation or part of a group, our system ensures nothing gets missed.

We document every clean via our Sentinel digital auditing system, with photographic proof, timestamps, and digital signatures. That means you’re always inspection-ready without having to scramble to find paperwork.

 

High-Risk Zones Get Priority

IPC isn’t one-size-fits-all. That’s why we pay special attention to the areas that matter most:

  • Treatment rooms
  • Waiting areas
  • Staff kitchens
  • Toilets and disposal zones
  • Door handles, light switches, and reception surfaces

Our uniformed, DBS-vetted staff follow strict colour coding, use hospital-grade chemicals, and wear PPE as standard. They understand the importance of barrier cleaning, not just surface wiping.

 

Why Retford Practices Choose Us

We’ve been cleaning medical sites in Retford and beyond for over 20 years, and we’ve never missed a scheduled clean.

But beyond the track record, we offer something most cleaning firms don’t: true peace of mind.

You’ll know exactly when we were there, what was cleaned, and who did it. You’ll have access to full audit trails. And your staff won’t have to double-check anything.

That’s what makes the difference during CQC inspections.
