At Clean Sweep Commercial, we've supported local GP surgeries for over 20 years. We understand the pressure of preparing for inspections and how hard it is to juggle cleaning compliance, staff oversight, and daily hygiene records when you're already managing a busy practice.
To make things easier, we use innovative software and systems to build a bespoke cleaning plan that keeps your surgery clean and consistently compliant. Our approach fully aligns with the 2025 National Standards of Healthcare Cleanliness and is adapted to suit your specific layout, risk zones, and needs.
Our team stays trained on the latest Infection Prevention and Control (IPC) guidance, so you can feel confident that your cleaning routine is always up-to-date and inspection-ready.

We understand how stretched your team can be, so this is one task you can confidently tick off your list. Our service is transparent, fully documented, and built around Infection Prevention and Control (IPC) procedures in line with the National Standards of Healthcare Cleanliness 2025. You'll receive a customised Practice Compliance Handbook containing everything you need to satisfy inspectors and demonstrate compliance without the paperwork headache. With a 100% success rate supporting GP practices across Newark, the Platinum Plan gives Practice Managers complete peace of mind that their cleaning standards are being met, maintained, and are always inspection-ready.
GP Surgery Cleaning Staff – Trained, Vetted & Reliable
Our uniformed operatives are DBS-vetted, background-checked, and bound by signed confidentiality agreements to ensure total discretion within medical environments. Every team member receives regular, role-specific training tailored to general practice surgeries, infection prevention, and compliance with the National Standards of Healthcare Cleanliness 2025.
We partner with your Infection Control Lead to ensure our team understands your facility's layout, zoning, and hygiene protocols. This includes colour-coded cleaning, correct use of hospital-grade chemicals, and strict adherence to NHS audit requirements.
With Clean Sweep Commercial, you're not just getting cleaners; you're getting healthcare-trained professionals who understand the demands of primary care settings.
Custom Cleaning Plans Aligned with NHS Standards
We work closely with your Infection Prevention Lead or practice management team to develop a bespoke, area-specific cleaning plan tailored to your GP surgery’s layout, usage, and patient risk levels. Each plan follows the structure and risk ratings set out in the National Standards of Healthcare Cleanliness 2025.
Our plans incorporate guidance from the NHS framework for setting and measuring cleaning performance in primary care, as well as key principles established by the National Patient Safety Agency (NPSA). This ensures a measurable, audit-ready system that supports both day-to-day hygiene and long-term compliance, helping your practice confidently meet CQC expectations.
Transparent Cleaning Schedules with Full Audit Trail
You’ll have real-time access to your daily cleaning schedules and audit trails through a secure VIP link and password-protected portal. This ensures full visibility of completed tasks, frequency schedules, and operative check-ins, which are all documented and accessible for inspection.
Your Practice Compliance Handbook includes all Technical and Efficacy Audits and hard copies of daily logs. Our system is aligned with the National Standards of Healthcare Cleanliness 2025, supporting functional risk category ratings, zoning, and frequency frameworks used by NHS primary care providers.
This gives your GP surgery a fully traceable and audit-ready cleaning record that meets the expectations of CQC inspectors and NHS commissioners without adding to your workload.
Handbooks Built for NHS & CQC Compliance
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 includes all your core documentation to meet NHS and CQC standards: Risk & Method Statements, cleaning specifications and frequencies, infection control training records, DBS checks, confidentiality agreements, insurance certificates, and up-to-date COSHH data sheets. It’s your go-to reference for all compliance requirements.
The Audit & Performance Logbook holds your daily cleaning schedule audits, technical and efficacy audits, deep clean records, and carpet and upholstery cleaning dates. Together, these provide a clear, traceable audit trail demonstrating performance, accountability, and ongoing compliance.
With these handbooks, your practice stays fully documented, CQC-ready, and inspection-prepared, with no panic and no paperwork scrambles.
CQC-Compliant Deep, Carpet & Upholstery 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 Newark dental practice audit-ready at all times.
Hospital-Grade Cleaning Chemicals & Equipment
We use only hospital-grade cleaning chemicals that are effective against a wide range of pathogens and safe for use in healthcare environments. All products are selected per NHS infection control guidance and are used strictly according to COSHH protocols, with complete documentation in your Practice Handbook.
Our equipment is fully colour-coded to prevent cross-contamination between clinical and non-clinical zones, supporting compliance with the National Standards of Healthcare Cleanliness 2025. We use HEPA-FLO filter vacuums to capture fine particles, dust, and allergens essential for indoor air quality and hygiene.
To ensure maximum hygiene and compliance, we also use disposable mop heads and single-use cloths, with all tools and machines PAT tested regularly for safety. Every measure is in place to help your practice remain visibly clean, operationally compliant, and audit-ready.

Get Compliant With the New National Standards of Healthcare Cleanliness 2025
A poor rating under the NHS National Standards of Healthcare Cleanliness 2025 has far-reaching consequences beyond just a loss of pride. It triggers increased scrutiny from the Care Quality Commission (CQC), potentially leading to mandatory improvement actions, fines, or even restrictions on services if problems persist. Publicly displayed ratings mean that patients, staff, and commissioners immediately see the quality of your cleanliness standards, which can damage patient trust and harm your practice’s reputation. Furthermore, inadequate hygiene directly increases the risk of healthcare-associated infections, compromising patient safety and staff wellbeing. Ultimately, this can lead to financial losses through decreased patient registrations, additional compliance costs, and resources diverted away from patient care to address urgent remediation.
At Clean Sweep Commercial, we proactively manage compliance to keep your rating high, your reputation strong, and your practice safe.
What It Takes to Keep Your Surgery Audit-Ready
Maintaining high cleanliness standards is vital to CQC compliance and patient safety. Under the NHS National Standards of Healthcare Cleanliness 2025, GP surgeries must have a robust cleaning programme supported by regular audits.
As part of our CQC-Compliant Package, we provide:
Daily Audits – Confirm routine cleaning is completed and issues are resolved promptly.
Technical Audits – Ensure hospital-grade chemicals and colour-coded equipment are used to prevent cross-contamination.
Efficacy Audits – Annual checks that measure overall cleaning effectiveness and ongoing compliance.
Tech-Driven Daily Audits for Total Transparency
At Clean Sweep Commercial, we've developed Sentinel, our proprietary cloud-based auditing system designed to raise the bar for healthcare cleaning compliance.
When your site supervisor arrives, they log in through the Sentinel app, recording the time, date, and GPS location as part of your daily audit. Each area is assigned a functional risk category, and our colour-coded cleaning schedules detail what needs to be cleaned, how, and how often. Photos are captured for verification, and QR codes are scanned to confirm task completion.
You can access all daily audits anytime via a secure VIP link and password, with printed records also stored in your Practice Handbook, keeping your facility 100% inspection-ready.
Sentinel isn't just software; it's a smarter, more transparent way to manage cleaning, giving you real-time oversight, full accountability, and complete confidence in your CQC compliance.
Technical Audits – Ensuring NHS Standards Are Met Every Time
Technical audits are vital to maintaining NHS-level cleaning standards across your medical facility. At Clean Sweep Commercial, we conduct these audits randomly and unannounced to give an accurate, unbiased view of real cleaning performance.
Each audit is scored against the National Standards of Healthcare Cleanliness 2025, assessing whether procedures are followed correctly, colour-coded equipment is used appropriately, and staff deliver safe, consistent hygiene outcomes.
Regular technical audits help keep your practice inspection-ready, support continuous improvement, and ensure your cleaning operation remains fully aligned with NHS and CQC expectations without surprises.
Efficacy Audits – Verifying Compliance and Infection Control Standards
Efficacy audits are essential to ensuring your cleaning regime exists on paper and is actively followed to the highest Infection Prevention and Control (IPC) and health and safety standards.
At Clean Sweep Commercial, these audits assess how effectively your current training, cleaning procedures, and IPC protocols are being implemented in real-world conditions. We directly observe cleaning operatives to verify correct colour coding, approved techniques, appropriate PPE, and safe chemical use.
This process ensures every clean is thorough, consistent, and fully compliant with NHS and CQC expectations, giving your practice the assurance it needs to remain safe, professional, and always inspection-ready.
