Dental Cleaning Newark With CQC Standards
Expert Cleaning for Safer Surgeries
Clean Sweep Commercial specialise in dental surgery cleaning for Newark practices that need more than a basic wipe-down. Our service is built around CQC compliance, infection control, and the 2025 National Standards of Healthcare Cleanliness, not just ticking boxes but actively helping your team maintain a clean, professional, and fully audit-ready environment. We understand that dental settings have unique risks, from treatment rooms and waiting areas to decontamination zones, and our cleaning plans are tailored to reflect those realities. With trained, DBS-checked operatives, clearly documented procedures, and our cloud-based audit system, Sentinel, you get more than just a cleaner; you get a partner who helps you stay one step ahead of inspections and patient safety standards.
Clean Sweep Commercial's Platinum Dental Surgery Cleaning Plan is a bespoke, CQC-compliant package designed exclusively for dental surgeries in Newark. Built around the 2025 National Standards of Healthcare Cleanliness, it includes clearly defined cleaning frequencies, colour-coded zoning, and risk-based auditing to support your infection control protocols. We understand how busy your team is, and this is one responsibility you can confidently delegate. Our service is fully transparent and documented, with a tailored Practice Compliance Handbook that contains everything needed for CQC inspections, including schedules, audit logs, and COSHH data. With a 100% inspection pass rate, the Platinum Plan delivers exclusive service, regulatory peace of mind, and exceptional value for money.
Trained and Vetted Cleaning Operatives
Our uniformed operatives are DBS-vetted, background-checked, and bound by confidentiality agreements. Each receives specialist training for dental settings, including treatment rooms, decontamination zones, and waiting areas. They’re trained in NHS zoning, sharps awareness, and IPC protocols, ensuring your practice stays hygienic, compliant, and inspection-ready.
Area-Specific Cleaning Plans for Dental Surgeries
We work directly with your Infection Control Lead to develop a bespoke cleaning plan tailored to your dental practice. Each plan is area-specific, covering treatment rooms, reception areas, and decontamination zones, and is built in line with the National Standards of Healthcare Cleanliness 2025 and NHS guidance on setting and measuring performance outcomes in primary care dental premises. Every cleaning schedule we provide supports auditable, accountable compliance from day one.
Daily Cleaning Schedules and NHS-Compliant Audits
You’ll have secure access to your daily cleaning schedules and audit trail through your VIP link and password-protected dashboard. All records are aligned with the National Standards of Healthcare Cleanliness 2025, including Technical and Efficacy Audits based on NHS audit templates and risk-based scoring. Hard copies and digital versions are stored in your Practice Handbook, giving your team everything needed to demonstrate full compliance during inspections.
CQC & NHS-Compliant Practice Handbooks
Every dental surgery we support receives two key documents: a Practice Compliance Handbook and an Audit & Performance Logbook. The handbook contains your essential compliance records, risk assessments, cleaning frequencies, training logs, DBS checks, insurance details, and COSHH sheets, all aligned with CQC and NHS standards. The logbook holds your daily cleaning audits, technical checks, deep clean records, and carpet cleaning dates, giving you a clear, traceable audit trail.
Deep Cleaning Aligned with NHS & CQC Requirements
Our Platinum Dental Cleaning Plan includes routine deep cleans every year and carpet and upholstery cleans every six months, which are essential for meeting NHS standards and reducing infection risks in busy dental practices. These services form a key part of your compliance with the 2025 NHS Cleanliness Standards and help support IPC efforts without adding more admin for your team.
From baseboards and furniture undersides to high-frequency touchpoints, every area is meticulously sanitised. We use antimicrobial agents approved for use in healthcare settings to clean all soft furnishings and flooring, thereby reducing allergen buildup and the potential for cross-contamination. All tasks are documented, dated, and inspection-ready, with records stored in your dedicated practice logbook.
Professional-Grade Products Aligned with NHS Standards
We use only hospital-grade cleaning chemicals approved for use in clinical and dental environments, ensuring effective disinfection without compromising safety. All equipment is colour-coded to prevent cross-contamination between treatment rooms, decontamination areas, and non-clinical spaces. Our vacuums are fitted with HEPA-FLO bags, capturing fine dust and allergens to maintain air quality in patient-facing areas. We use disposable mop heads and single-use white rolls as standard, reducing the risk of bacterial transfer. All tools and machines are PAT tested, and full COSHH documentation is available in your Practice Compliance Handbook, ensuring you're covered for both NHS audits and CQC inspections.

Meeting the 2025 NHS Standards in Dental Environments
The National Standards of Healthcare Cleanliness 2025 apply to all healthcare environments, including primary care dental surgeries. These updated NHS standards require practices to implement a formal star rating system, clear cleaning responsibilities, and risk-based auditing using tools like the Functional Risk Category (FRC) and STAR rating assessment.
At Clean Sweep Commercial, we help dental surgeries meet these expectations with bespoke cleaning plans, clear zoning, and detailed audit trails. Our systems are designed to demonstrate compliance during internal audits and external inspections, giving your practice complete confidence and transparency.
Practices that fall short in audits can receive low star ratings, which are now published and must be displayed prominently in patient areas. This can damage patient trust, lead to CQC scrutiny, and flag risks in your infection control procedures. Our goal is to make sure that never happens with cleaning services that are fully aligned with NHS and CQC expectations and supported by documented evidence from day one.
Stop Settling for Substandard Dental Cleaning
We know you're busy with patients, inspections, and running your practice, so you shouldn't have to worry about cleaning, too. If your current cleaning provider misses tasks, cuts corners, or leaves you scrambling before a CQC visit, it's time for a change. At Clean Sweep Commercial, we deliver reliable, auditable dental surgery cleaning that meets NHS and CQC standards with no compromises or stress.
Preparing Your Newark Dental Practice for the Next CQC Inspection
Audits are vital to any dental surgery cleaning regime and play a key role in meeting CQC expectations. They confirm that cleaning tasks are being carried out correctly, consistently, and to a high standard. We use three core types of audits to support your compliance: daily schedule audits ensure that routine cleaning is performed on time and to specification; technical audits assess the correct use of chemicals, colour-coded equipment, and cleaning procedures; and efficacy audits, typically carried out annually, measure the overall effectiveness of your cleaning programme.
By completing all three regularly, your Newark dental practice maintains a clear and defensible audit trail, giving you full confidence that your premises are safe, hygienic, and ready for CQC inspection at any time.
Daily Cleaning Audits with Sentinel
Clean Sweep Commercial uses Sentinel, our proprietary cloud-based auditing software, to track and verify daily cleaning performance. When on-site, your supervisor logs in through a secure app, capturing each audit entry's time, date, and GPS location. Each zone in your dental practice is assigned a Functional Risk Category, with a colour-coded cleaning schedule outlining task frequency and priority.
Photos are taken for visual verification, and QR codes are scanned to confirm completion. All daily audits are stored securely and can be accessed anytime via your VIP link and password. For inspection readiness, hard copies are also kept in your Practice Handbook.
Sentinel gives your practice full visibility, accountability, and CQC-compliant cleaning records, keeping you fully prepared for audits and inspections with zero gaps in your documentation.
Technical Audits for CQC Cleaning Compliance
Technical audits are critical to maintaining a safe, consistent, and compliant cleaning operation in dental surgeries. These audits are carried out at unannounced times to ensure a true reflection of cleaning performance. Each audit scores outcomes against predefined cleanliness standards, verifying that your operatives follow correct procedures and deliver a high-quality, protocol-driven service.
Regular technical audits help ensure that every aspect of your cleaning regime remains effective, accountable, and aligned with CQC and NHS expectations without relying on guesswork or assumptions.
Efficacy Audits for CQC and IPC Assurance
Efficacy audits are a vital management tool to verify that your cleaning procedures are delivered consistently and correctly in line with Infection Prevention and Control (IPC) and health and safety standards. These audits provide insight into whether your team applies the correct training, systems, and safe working practices on the ground.
A key part of the process involves direct observation of cleaning staff, ensuring they use proper colour-coded equipment, follow the correct cleaning methods, wear the appropriate PPE, and use chemicals safely and in line with dental clinical protocols. This audit gives your practice confidence that standards aren't just documented but are actively being met daily.
