This surgery experienced frequent patient complaints about hygiene in waiting areas and washrooms. We created a daily out-of-hours cleaning schedule focusing on touchpoint sanitisation, germicidal mopping, and clinical-standard washroom care. Staff noted fewer complaints, and management said patient confidence noticeably improved.

Specialist Cleaning Operatives for GP Surgeries in Lincoln
At Clean Sweep Commercial, our GP surgery cleaning operatives are uniformed, DBS-vetted, and have signed confidentiality agreements to ensure the highest standards of trust and professionalism.
Each team member is specifically trained in clinical cleaning protocols and infection control procedures, with ongoing updates aligned to CQC requirements, NHS England best practices, and the National Standards of Healthcare Cleanliness 2025. Training covers NHS-approved methods such as colour-coded cleaning, safe waste handling, and cross-contamination prevention, ensuring your surgery is cleaned to the standards expected in NHS primary care facilities.
Real-Time Cleaning Schedules & Auditable Records for CQC Compliance
We understand how critical it is for GP surgeries and healthcare facilities to maintain accurate, accessible cleaning records, especially in preparation for a CQC inspection. That’s why we provide real-time access to your daily cleaning schedules and audit logs through a secure VIP link and password, keeping everything just a click away.
Clients also receive a Practice Compliance Handbook containing hard copies of all daily, weekly, and monthly audits and documented Technical and Efficacy Audits. These records are essential for Infection Prevention and Control (IPC) tracking and demonstrate measurable compliance with the National Standards of Healthcare Cleanliness 2025.
Compliance & Audit Documentation
At Clean Sweep Commercial, we provide every GP surgery with two essential documents: the Practice Compliance Handbook and the Audit & Performance Logbook.
The Practice Compliance Handbook contains all your critical compliance documentation, including Risk and Method Statements, cleaning specifications and frequencies, infection control training records, DBS checks, confidentiality agreements, insurance details, and COSHH data sheets everything you need to stay aligned with CQC and NHS expectations.
The Audit & Performance Logbook houses your daily cleaning schedule audits, technical audits, efficacy audits, deep clean records, and carpet & upholstery cleaning dates, creating a clear, traceable audit trail.
Together, these handbooks ensure your practice is fully documented, CQC-ready, and prepared for inspections at a moment’s notice with zero last-minute stress.
Tailored Cleaning Plans Aligned with NHS Standards
We work closely with your Infection Prevention and Control (IPC) team to develop a bespoke cleaning plan tailored to your GP surgery or healthcare facility. Every plan is area-specific, ensuring the correct cleaning methods are applied where they matter most, from clinical zones to general patient areas.
Our plans are fully aligned with the National Standards of Healthcare Cleanliness 2025 and incorporate best practices from NHS England and the National Patient Safety Agency’s framework for cleaning performance in GP surgeries and primary care settings.
This approach ensures your facility is consistently clean, CQC-ready, and fully compliant with NHS expectations.
Yearly Deep Clean & Carpet Cleaning
As part of our Platinum CQC-compliant dental cleaning package, we carry out annual deep cleans and six-monthly carpet and upholstery cleans as standard, both of which are aligned with the 2025 National Standards of Healthcare Cleanliness. These services are designed to support your practice's Infection Prevention and Control (IPC) protocols and demonstrate compliance during CQC inspections.
Our dental deep cleans include a full sanitisation of clinical and non-clinical zones, including skirting, fixtures, under-chair areas, and other high-risk touchpoints. All soft furnishings and flooring in waiting rooms and treatment areas are cleaned using NHS-approved antimicrobial agents, which help reduce allergen and cross-contamination risks. Every clean is logged in your Audit & Performance Logbook, keeping your Lincoln dental practice audit-ready at all times.
Medical-Grade Cleaning Chemicals & Specialist Equipment
We use only hospital-grade cleaning chemicals that are safe, effective, and aligned with the latest NHS infection control protocols for GP surgeries and primary care environments. All equipment is colour-coded in line with NHS best practice to eliminate the risk of cross-contamination between clinical and non-clinical areas, a critical factor in maintaining CQC compliance.
Our high-filtration vacuums are fitted with HEPA-FLO bags, designed to trap dust, allergens, and microbes, helping ensure cleaner air and surfaces throughout your facility. We also use disposable mop heads and white rolls as a standard, maximising hygiene and minimising contamination risks during every clean.
A GP practice in Lincoln wanted to change providers but was worried about TUPE complications with existing cleaning staff. Clean Sweep managed the TUPE process seamlessly, ensuring all legal obligations were met and cleaners were reassured with proper communication. The practice manager said the switch was “smooth, professional, and improved standards from day one.”

Get Compliant with the NHS National Standards of Healthcare Cleanliness 2025
Getting to grips with the NHS National Standards of Healthcare Cleanliness 2025 isn’t just about ticking boxes; it’s about protecting patients, supporting staff, and satisfying CQC expectations.
A key change in the 2025 standards is the five-star rating system, which must be clearly displayed in all healthcare premises. Much like food hygiene ratings in restaurants, this star system reflects how well your surgery meets national cleanliness standards based on evidence, risk-based audits, and compliance with cleaning specifications. It’s not optional; patients will see it, and inspectors will ask about it. It can directly influence your surgery’s reputation and trustworthiness.
At Clean Sweep Commercial, we help GP surgeries and primary care providers like yours achieve and retain a five-star rating by delivering bespoke, fully auditable cleaning solutions built around your layout, risk zones, and service level needs.
From daily cleaning schedules and technical efficacy checks to CQC-ready documentation and IPC-aligned practices, our team takes care of the heavy lifting. We work with your Infection Prevention Lead and Practice Manager to ensure your facility isn’t just visibly clean; it’s compliantly clean and always inspection-ready.
Stay Inspection-Ready with Proven Cleaning Audits
Maintaining the highest standards of cleanliness is essential for GP surgeries in Lincoln, not just to protect patient safety but to ensure CQC compliance and strong infection prevention and control (IPC) practices. At Clean Sweep Commercial, we implement a robust audit regime to support these outcomes and keep your facility fully compliant.
Our system includes daily audits to ensure routine tasks are completed on schedule, technical audits to assess chemical usage, equipment condition, and technique, and efficacy audits, which are carried out annually to measure the overall performance of your cleaning programme. These three audit types form a core part of our CQC-compliant cleaning package, giving you complete transparency and traceability so your practice is always prepared for inspections and fully aligned with the NHS National Standards of Healthcare Cleanliness 2025.
Daily Cleaning Audits Powered by Sentinel Software
At Clean Sweep Commercial, we've developed Sentinel, our proprietary cloud-based audit software, to give your GP surgery full visibility and control over daily cleaning performance. When on-site, supervisors log in via our mobile app, which captures every clean's time, date, and GPS location. Each area is assigned a functional risk category, linked to a colour-coded cleaning schedule that outlines what needs to be cleaned, how often, and to what standard.
Photo verification and QR code scans are used to validate every task. You can access your daily cleaning audits anytime via a secure VIP link and password or refer to hard copies stored in your Practice Handbook to stay fully CQC-ready.
Sentinel isn't just a tool; it's a game-changer. It helps us deliver transparent, accountable, and high-quality medical cleaning services, placing us at the leading edge of compliance and innovation in healthcare cleaning.
A Lincoln practice was anxious about an upcoming CQC inspection due to poor cleaning records from their old provider. We introduced Sentinel™, our cloud-based audit system, which logged every clean with GPS check-ins, time-stamped photos, and digital task lists. The practice passed inspection confidently, with auditors praising the clear cleaning evidence provided.
Technical Audits to Maintain Safe, High-Quality Cleaning Standards
Our technical audits are a critical layer of quality assurance for GP surgery and healthcare cleaning. These audits are conducted randomly, assessing cleaning staff performance without advance notice to ensure authentic results. During each audit, we score cleanliness outcomes against strict healthcare standards, focusing on attention to detail, correct product usage, and adherence to infection prevention protocols. Regular technical audits validate our operatives’ training and consistency and help identify areas for improvement, ensuring your facility remains safe, efficient, and CQC-compliant at all times.
Efficacy Audits: Ensuring Compliance and Best Practice
An efficacy audit is a vital management tool to verify that cleaning procedures consistently meet Infection Prevention and Control (IPC) and health and safety standards. These audits provide healthcare organisations with valuable insights into the effectiveness of their cleaning operations, staff training, and safe working practices.
As part of the audit, cleaning staff are observed to ensure they are:
Using correct colour-coded systems to prevent cross-contamination
Following approved cleaning methodologies
Wearing appropriate uniform and PPE
Applying hospital-grade chemicals correctly
Adhering to all safe systems of work
Efficacy audits play a key role in keeping your GP surgery compliant, inspection-ready, and aligned with CQC expectations and the NHS National Standards of Healthcare Cleanliness 2025.
