This practice noticed that some private patients had stopped returning, citing the surgery’s hygiene as a concern. We introduced daily out-of-hours cleaning focusing on waiting rooms, washrooms, and treatment areas with hospital-grade disinfectants. Within months, patient feedback improved, and management said confidence had returned to their practice.
Clean Sweep Commercial has developed a fully inclusive, CQC-compliant cleaning solution tailored exclusively for dental surgeries in Gainsborough. At the core of this is our Platinum Dental Surgery Cleaning Plan, a premium package designed for practices where clinical hygiene, inspection readiness, and reputation protection are non-negotiable. This plan goes beyond basic cleaning. It's designed around the real-world demands of dental environments, including treatment rooms, waiting areas, decontamination zones, and sterilisation bays. You'll receive detailed cleaning schedules, zoning protocols, and colour-coded methodology, all aligned with IPC guidelines and the 2025 NHS National Standards of Healthcare Cleanliness. With a 100% CQC inspection success rate behind us, our Platinum Plan delivers the expertise, documentation, and value for money your dental practice needs without the stress of chasing standards.
Professionally Trained Dental Cleaning Operatives
Our uniformed cleaning operatives are fully DBS-vetted, have signed confidentiality agreements, and undergo ongoing training specific to medical and dental settings, including infection control, IPC procedures, and dental environment protocols.
We operate with dedicated mobile cleaning teams, allowing us to deliver consistent, high-quality service across Gainsborough and surrounding areas. These teams are equipped with the right tools, products, and checklists for dental surgeries, ensuring no corner is cut and no compliance detail is missed.
Every member is trained beyond the basics, including NHS-aligned standards, colour-coded cleaning practices, and safe use of chemicals under COSHH. With our team, you don't just get cleaners; you get compliance-ready operatives who understand the high-stakes nature of dental hygiene.
Bespoke Cleaning Plans for Dental Environments
We work closely with your Infection Prevention Lead or designated practice manager to develop a bespoke, area-specific cleaning plan tailored to the unique layout and clinical risks within your dental surgery. Every plan is built to reflect the standards set out in the 2025 National Standards of Healthcare Cleanliness, ensuring that your surgery meets the latest NHS and CQC expectations.
Cleaning schedules are aligned with functional risk zones, referencing best practices from the National Patient Safety Agency (NPSA) and NHS guidance on primary care and dental premises. From decontamination zones and treatment rooms to reception and waiting areas, each space is risk-assessed, zoning-coded, and assigned the correct cleaning frequency and method, leaving no grey areas when it comes to compliance.
Digital Cleaning Schedules & NHS-Aligned Audits
Stay fully informed and inspection-ready with our real-time cleaning schedules and audit tracking system. Through your secure VIP link and password, you can access your practice's daily cleaning schedules, complete with timestamps, task completion logs, and risk zone breakdowns, all aligned with the 2025 National Standards of Healthcare Cleanliness.
Your Practice Handbook contains hard copies of all daily schedules, along with records of technical audits and efficacy audits, providing you with a comprehensive, traceable audit trail at your fingertips. These documents are structured to support CQC inspections, IPC audits, and NHS reporting, so you're never caught off guard when it matters most.
Everything You Need for NHS & CQC Compliance – In One Place
Every dental client of Clean Sweep Commercial receives two vital documents: the Practice Compliance Handbook and the Audit & Performance Logbook.
The Compliance Handbook contains everything required to demonstrate your alignment with CQC and NHS 2025 standards, including Risk & Method Statements, cleaning schedules and frequencies, IPC training logs, DBS checks, COSHH data sheets, and full insurance documentation.
The Audit Logbook includes your daily cleaning records, technical and efficacy audits, deep clean reports, and logs for carpet and upholstery cleaning, providing a complete, traceable audit trail ready for spot checks, CQC visits, or internal inspections at a moment's notice.
No last-minute scrambles. No paperwork guesswork. Everything is in one place, ready when you need it.
Scheduled Deep Cleaning to Meet NHS 2025 Standards
As part of our Platinum CQC-Compliant Cleaning Package, we provide yearly deep cleans and six-monthly carpet and upholstery cleans as standard, both of which are essential for maintaining compliance with the 2025 National Standards of Healthcare Cleanliness and supporting ongoing Infection Prevention and Control (IPC) measures.
Our deep cleans cover both clinical and non-clinical areas, focusing on high-touch surfaces, equipment bases, skirting, and under-furniture zone areas that are often missed in routine cleans but are critical in reducing the risk of healthcare-associated infections (HCAIs) in dental environments.
Carpet and upholstery treatments are carried out using NHS-approved antimicrobial agents to reduce allergens and cross-contamination risks in waiting rooms, consultation areas, and admin spaces.
Every clean is recorded and timestamped in your Audit and Performance Logbook, providing a clear, traceable record for internal reviews and CQC inspections.
NHS-Approved Chemicals & Fully Compliant Equipment
We use only hospital-grade cleaning chemicals, carefully selected for their proven effectiveness against a wide range of pathogens and fully approved for use in clinical environments. All products align with NHS infection control guidance and are managed under strict COSHH protocols, with full documentation stored in your Practice Compliance Handbook.
Our cleaning equipment is fully colour-coded to prevent cross-contamination between clinical and non-clinical zones, in full accordance with the 2025 National Standards of Healthcare Cleanliness. We use HEPA-FLO filter vacuums to remove fine dust, allergens, and airborne particles, which are essential for maintaining clean air quality and reducing the risk of infection.
We also use disposable mop heads and single-use white rolls to prevent the transfer of bacteria between areas. All tools are regularly PAT tested, ensuring safe, compliant, and effective operation every time.
Every element is in place to keep your dental surgery visibly clean, operationally compliant, and CQC inspection-ready, with no shortcuts and no guesswork.
A dental surgery in Gainsborough wanted to avoid the last-minute panic that often came before CQC inspections. We introduced a structured, audit-ready cleaning plan supported by Sentinel™ records and photographic evidence. The practice manager said inspections became stress-free, as documentation and standards were always up to date.

NHS Cleanliness Standards 2025 — Why Ratings Matter More Than Ever
Under the 2025 NHS Cleanliness Standards, your inspection rating can directly affect patient trust, CQC compliance, and even contract renewals. A poor audit isn't just embarrassing; it can damage your reputation and put pressure on your team.
At Clean Sweep Commercial, we help dental surgeries stay ahead of the curve with fully documented, inspection-ready cleaning plans built around NHS guidance. We don't just clean; we help protect your practice from compliance slip-ups.
Preparing Your Dental Practice for the Next CQC Inspection
Staying ahead of CQC inspections requires more than just cleaning surfaces; it necessitates a documented, auditable cleaning system that withstands scrutiny. That's precisely what our Platinum Dental Surgery Cleaning Plan delivers. With structured daily audits, technical checks, and efficacy reviews, your practice will always have clear evidence of compliance. Our plans are built around NHS infection control guidance and the 2025 National Standards of Healthcare Cleanliness, helping you avoid last-minute stress and maintain full inspection readiness at all times.
Daily Cleaning Audits – Backed by Sentinel
At Clean Sweep Commercial, we don't just clean; we prove it. Our proprietary cloud-based audit system, Sentinel, captures every cleaning activity in real-time, including date, time, GPS location, and photographic evidence.
Each zone in your dental surgery is assigned a functional risk category with a colour-coded schedule fully aligned with the 2025 National Standards of Healthcare Cleanliness. QR code scans verify task completion, and everything is logged automatically.
You'll have instant access to your daily audits via VIP login, with hard copies stored in your Practice Handbook, giving your team total peace of mind and making your next CQC inspection stress-free and thoroughly documented.
Technical Audits – Aligning with NHS 2025 Standards
Technical audits are essential for ensuring your cleaning service consistently meets NHS healthcare requirements. At Clean Sweep Commercial, we conduct these audits at unannounced times to capture an accurate snapshot of real-world performance rather than a polished presentation for inspection day.
Every area is assessed and scored against the National Standards of Healthcare Cleanliness 2025, with a focus on cleaning methodology, chemical use, and outcomes. This process guarantees your dental surgery remains safe, compliant, and audit-ready at all times.
Regular technical audits are a core component of our Platinum Dental Surgery Cleaning Plan, enabling your practice to maintain operational excellence with full traceability and transparency.
Efficacy Audits – Verifying Compliance with NHS 2025 Standards
Efficacy audits are a vital management tool used to confirm that your cleaning service is not only delivered but also delivered correctly, in full compliance with Infection Prevention and Control (IPC) procedures and the National Standards of Healthcare Cleanliness 2025.
These audits go beyond surface checks. Our team observes cleaners in action, verifying that they follow correct colour coding, use the approved PPE, apply safe chemical practices, and adhere to documented cleaning methodologies. This process also reinforces staff accountability and ensures continuous alignment with CQC and NHS expectations.
Included as standard in our Platinum Dental Surgery Cleaning Plan, efficacy audits help you demonstrate a proven, proactive approach to infection control, the kind of evidence CQC inspectors look for.
A dental group operating across Gainsborough struggled with inconsistent cleaning standards at different sites. Clean Sweep Commercial provided DBS-vetted teams with standardised cleaning protocols and Sentinel™ audits, ensuring the same high standard across every surgery. Management praised the consistency, saying it finally felt like they had a partner instead of just a contractor.
