The Importance of Medical Facility Cleaning Services in Rhode Island
Health care facilities, such as acute care centers, memory care centers, and emergency rooms, often have high levels of pathogens. To keep harmful bacteria and germs from spreading, all areas, including high-touch areas of the facility, need specialized cleaning and disinfecting. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the Occupational Safety and Health Administration set stringent regulations for preventing the spread of infectious germs, viruses, bacteria, and pathogens that can contribute to disease.
Achieving a sterile environment in a health care or medical facility requires an enormous amount of time with specialized cleaning solutions and tools. Advantage Maintenance has the tools, cleaning products, and knowledgeable, licensed, insured, and bonded staff to help keep your facility clean, attractive, and in compliance with state and federal regulations.

Specialized Disinfection Procedures
According to the CDC, disinfection procedures for cleaning companies should be based on the risk of contamination. The higher the probability of contamination, such as in emergency rooms and hospitals, the more frequently the facility needs disinfecting. High-touch surfaces, such as bed rails, IV poles, blood pressure cuffs, doorknobs, and toilet handles, need concentrated cleaning and sanitizing regularly. Facilities with vulnerable patients, such as adult care centers and those housing immunosuppressed patients, need to take extra care with environmental cleaning.
Our disinfecting procedures include cleaning dirtier areas last to prevent cross-contamination of cleaner areas, cleaning from top to bottom, such as in hospital beds, and disinfecting high-touch areas before low-touch ones. Depending on the health care setting, our team can clean several times a day for high-touch areas or once a month for items such as window shades or carpets.
Use of Antimicrobial Coatings: Benefits and Applications
As health care facility cleaning advances, many cleaning companies turn to modern products for highly effective anticontamination and sanitizing solutions. One of the key products we use is antimicrobial coatings. This specialized product uses chemical agents and/or active substances, including copper or silver ions, that effectively kill or inhibit the growth of harmful pathogens. Antimicrobial coatings are not only effective against bacteria but also against a range of fungi, mold, and some viruses.
This type of advanced cleaning solution is especially beneficial for high-touch areas to help strengthen and support traditional cleaning methods. Depending on the product and surface, antimicrobial coatings are rolled, sprayed, or wiped onto the surface.
The Role of Technology in Modern Cleaning Practices
Health care facilities are embracing innovative cleaning practices that enhance protection, disinfection, and sanitizing techniques to prevent contamination in medical care settings. Technology and techniques used include:
- UV-C light to destroy or alter the DNA or RNA of pathogens’ cellular structure
- Fogging machines that can send disinfectant solutions into hard-to-reach places
- High-intensity narrow-spectrum light that uses UV light to destroy pathogens, especially for bactericidal and fungicidal applications
- Automated and robotic technologies for disinfecting with germicidal solutions or UV lights to clean without human action for faster turnover and less human error
