Terminal & Medical Facility Cleaning
Cleanliness In Medical Facilities Is A Matter Of Life & Safety
At Palmetto Services, we understand that cleanliness in medical facilities isn’t just about appearances—it’s a matter of life and safety. Our dedicated team specializes in professional cleaning services tailored specifically for healthcare settings, including hospitals, surgical centers, outpatient clinics, long-term care facilities, and medical offices.
We go beyond routine janitorial services to deliver hospital-grade cleanliness that meets stringent infection control standards and helps protect patients, staff, and visitors from healthcare-associated infections (HAIs).
Our team is GBAC trained and OSHA certified. Each member is background-checked and committed to the highest standards of professionalism.
Our Specialization: Expert Terminal Cleaning
Terminal cleaning (also known as discharge or post-procedure cleaning) is the thorough, deep disinfection performed after a patient is discharged, transferred, or following high-risk procedures—especially in isolation rooms, operating theaters, and areas exposed to infectious diseases.
This intensive process is our core specialty. Unlike everyday cleaning, terminal cleaning involves a systematic, top-to-bottom approach to eliminate pathogens, including bacteria, viruses, and spores like C. difficile.
Why Terminal Cleaning Matters
- Reduces the risk of HAIs, which affect millions and can prolong hospital stays or lead to serious complications
- Ensures every surface is safe for the next patient
- Supports compliance with CDC guidelines, Joint Commission standards, and facility-specific protocols
- Provides peace of mind for healthcare administrators and infection prevention teams
Our Terminal Cleaning Process
Our trained specialists follow proven, evidence-based protocols using EPA-registered hospital-grade disinfectants and advanced techniques:
- Preparation: Staff don appropriate PPE to prevent cross-contamination
- Removal of disposables: All linens, curtains, trash, and medical waste are safely removed and disposed of per regulations
- Systematic cleaning: From ceiling to floor, including high-touch surfaces (bed rails, doorknobs, light switches), low-touch areas, walls, vents, and floors
- Special attention to equipment: Thorough disinfection of beds, monitors, IV poles, and other non-critical medical devices following manufacturer guidelines
- Bathroom & fixtures: Deep cleaning and disinfection of toilets, sinks, showers, and all plumbing
- Final verification: Checklists and documentation to confirm the area meets readiness standards
