Cleaning for clinics, dental offices and childcare settings
At Island Commercial Cleaning we clean medical clinics, dental practices, childcare facilities and private schools across Nanaimo, Duncan and Parksville. We follow a written scope for contact surfaces and complete criminal record checks on every crew member, satisfying childcare rules for sites with youth over the age of 12.
What do we clean in your clinic?
We clean waiting rooms, reception, corridors, staff areas, washrooms and the floors of treatment spaces. We itemize shared contact surfaces in your scope, including door handles, light switches, chair arms and reception desks, giving each a set cleaning frequency. Medical instrument sterilization and clinical waste handling remain with your professional staff, and we define this operational boundary clearly in our contract.
Why do we use low-scent products?
Waiting rooms and treatment spaces share air, so we use low-scent products as standard. We specify low-scent product standards in your written agreement to ensure air quality remains consistent.
What is different about cleaning childcare and daycares?
We complete background screening for all cleaning staff before starting work in healthcare or childcare facilities. In British Columbia a childcare licensee needs a criminal record check for anyone over the age of 12 who is ordinarily present while children are in the building. We maintain active criminal record checks for assigned staff and record your exact cleaning hours in the service contract.
How do we build your clinic quote?
- Walkthrough — We measure facility spaces, list shared contact surfaces and clarify where janitorial duties end and clinical duties begin.
- Written scope and quote — We prepare an itemized task list detailing room schedules, surface sanitization and low-scent product requirements.
- Start date and handover — We arrange access and screening before the first visit, attend the first visits, and check the scope against your practice's own hours.
Local conditions
Medical clinic waiting rooms accumulate moisture and dirt on entryway carpets during the wet season. We keep the matting deep here, because that floor is in front of your patients for the whole time they are waiting.
Clinic questions
Do cleaning staff need a criminal record check for a clinic?
Under B.C.'s Child Care Licensing Regulation, a criminal record check is mandatory for anyone over the age of 12 ordinarily present in the facility. While background checks are not mandated by provincial law for general medical offices, we perform criminal record checks on every crew member regardless.
What products are used in a treatment space?
We select neutral, low-scent cleaning solutions to protect indoor air quality in shared healthcare spaces.
Can the same crew clean a clinic each visit?
Yes — we keep the same crew in your clinic. Assigned cleaners who understand your clinic layout and security procedures deliver faster, more thorough service.
