Healthcare Cleaning Services
for Medical and Dental Buyers
Healthcare cleaning is janitorial work done to a medical setting's rules: a written scope by room, EPA-registered disinfectants used to the label, and a record of every visit. Millennium Facility Services provides it for medical offices, dental practices, clinics and multi-site groups, from our Alpharetta office. Clinical cleaning, such as instruments and equipment, stays with your clinical staff, and we say so before you sign.

How is healthcare cleaning different from commercial cleaning?
The tasks overlap, but the rules differ. In a medical setting the order of work, the products, the training and the record matter more. Crews clean before they disinfect, they use disinfectants that are registered with the EPA for the surface and the claim, and they leave the product wet for the label contact time. A commercial crew that wipes and moves on has not done the job.
A medical setting also draws a line a commercial office does not: what the janitorial vendor cleans, and what the clinical team keeps. Good vendors write that line into the scope. For the longer version, see medical office cleaning vs commercial cleaning.
What does a healthcare cleaning vendor clean, and what does it not?
This answers the search for "medical equipment cleaning" too. Equipment and instruments are clinical work.
Janitorial scope
- Waiting rooms, reception, restrooms, corridors, break rooms and offices.
- Exam and procedure room floors, sinks, counters and high-touch surfaces, under your protocol.
- Floors and carpet, including scheduled machine work.
- High-touch points, cleaned and then disinfected with EPA-registered products used to the label.
- Trash and recycling from non-clinical areas.
Clinical scope, not janitorial
- Cleaning and disinfecting clinical equipment and devices, which follows the manufacturer's instructions.
- Instrument reprocessing and sterilization, including dental unit waterlines.
- Sharps and regulated medical waste.
- Terminal cleaning of operating and procedure rooms.
- Infection control policy. Your facility owns it.
Do you clean dental offices?
Yes. We clean the public and staff spaces of a dental practice and the floors, cabinet exteriors, sinks and trash in operatories. Instrument reprocessing, sterilization and waterlines stay with your clinical team. The full dental scope is on our page for dental office cleaning in Atlanta, and standards are in our dental office cleaning guide.
What standards apply to healthcare cleaning?
OSHA's bloodborne pathogens standard, 29 CFR 1910.1030, requires an exposure control plan, training and protective equipment. OSHA's hazard communication standard requires safety data sheets for chemicals on site. The EPA registers disinfectants, and the label sets the surfaces, the claims and the contact time.
Your own infection prevention policy sits on top, and accreditors and payers add expectations of their own. We clean to your policy, and we do not claim it as ours. We do not call our work "hospital-grade", and we make no infection-rate or outcome claims. For a checklist, see our medical facility cleaning compliance checklist.
What should you ask any healthcare cleaning vendor?
These are fair questions for any bidder, including us.
Questions to ask
- Who writes the scope, and what stays with our clinical team?
- Which EPA-registered products do you use, and can we see the safety data sheets before you start?
- How are crews trained to the OSHA bloodborne pathogen standard, and can you show it?
- How do you prove each visit happened, and what happens when an inspection score is low?
- Who do we call when something goes wrong, and who is above that person?
Red flags
- A price before anyone has walked the building.
- "Hospital-grade" language, or promises about infection rates or outcomes.
- No mention of label contact time.
- A vendor that offers to reprocess instruments or clean clinical equipment.
- A sign-in sheet as the only proof of service.
How will you know the work was done?
Every visit is GPS-verified and timestamped, crews check in to each room by QR code, and they photograph finished work. You see it on a live dashboard, and your own inspections are scored on the same screen.
A timestamp proves the crew was there. Your walk-through proves the result. We want both. To see what the record looks like, click through a sample account on See It Work.
What can we show a medical buyer?
Our named accounts are large guest-facing and industrial sites, and we do not list medical clients on this page.

Healthcare cleaning services: common questions
What medical and dental buyers ask us before they hire.
Healthcare cleaning services are janitorial work done to a medical setting's rules: a written scope by room, EPA-registered disinfectants used to the label, trained crews and a record of every visit. Clinical cleaning of instruments and equipment is separate and stays with clinical staff.
Millennium Facility Services provides healthcare cleaning for medical offices, dental practices, clinics and multi-site groups in Atlanta, Georgia and the Southeast. We have been in business since 1990, and every visit is GPS-verified and timestamped.
Medical cleaning follows a stricter order and record: clean first, then disinfect with an EPA-registered product for the full label contact time, under a written scope. It also separates what the janitorial vendor does from what the clinical team keeps.
Yes. We clean waiting rooms, front desks, restrooms, break rooms and floors, plus operatory floors, sinks, cabinet exteriors and trash. Instrument reprocessing, sterilization and waterlines stay with your clinical staff.
No. Cleaning and disinfecting clinical equipment and devices is clinical work that follows the manufacturer's instructions, and it stays with your staff. We clean the rooms, floors and surfaces around it.
EPA-registered disinfectants, applied to the label, including the contact time. We send a product list with a safety data sheet for each one before we start.
No. We make no infection-rate or outcome claims, and we do not call our work hospital-grade. We clean to your protocol and give you a record of what was done.
Bloodborne pathogen training for our crews is our obligation as their employer under OSHA. Send us your site rules and we will tell you plainly what we can document and what we cannot. Hold every vendor to the OSHA bloodborne pathogen standard.
Every visit is GPS-verified and timestamped, crews check in to rooms by QR code, and photos go to a live dashboard. Your inspections are scored on the same screen.
Our VP of Sales, Thomas Burbey, joined after 30 years in healthcare with Ecolab, including a role as Vice President. Our named accounts are Georgia Aquarium, World of Coca-Cola and Southwire, and we do not list medical clients.
The miss is logged against that room on the dashboard, your contact hears from us, and the area is redone. You can reach the owner directly if it is not resolved.
We price from a written scope after the walkthrough: the rooms, how often each is cleaned and the labor behind it. Quoting before we see the building would be a guess.
Send us the building, the hours and what is not working today. A senior member of our operations team walks it with you, writes the scope and names what stays with your clinical team.
