Medical Cleaning Services
Brilliant Office Cleaning delivers medical cleaning from the heart of Melbourne to regions throughout Victoria. Cleaning medical centres should be performed by cleaners who specialise in medical facilities. For this reason, we deploy an experienced, skilled and professional team for this type of cleaning. Regardless of the size, we always ensure that we provide a high standard of service when we clean and disinfect medical facilities. We service both small and large medical centres, however, our standards are the same, irrespective of the size of the facility.
The Importance of Medical Cleaning
Medical facilities are cleaned not only to ensure that the premises are neat and tidy, but also to maintain acceptable hygiene standards.
Preventing Spreading the Diseases
Medical facilities deal with patients who are ill, and disease can quickly spread throughout the facility. This can result in:
- Disease spreading to other patients who are attending the medical centre.
- Viruses and bacteria can infect doctors, internal staff and patients.
Consequently, regular cleaning is essential for all medical facilities, particularly hospitals.
Appropriate Garbage Disposal
Hospitals accumulate various types of garbage, including:
- General rubbish that should be disposed of per the general rubbish disposal practices
- Recycled and commingled rubbish, which should be disposed of per the standard waste management recycling practices
- Clinical waste that must be disposed of in accordance with the standard guidelines.
Clinical waste management is of utmost importance. Improper disposal of clinical waste in medical practices can result in a health disaster, and could cause serious issues for the medical practice itself. Our training programs include special attention for this particular area.
To Address the Regulatory Requirements
Strict regulations are enforced by health authorities for medical facilities, including hospitals. These authorities not only enforce these regulations, they also monitor the compliance. Therefore, to comply with these regulations, the management of the medical practices should ensure that satisfactory cleaning occurs.

Cleaning Chemicals and Disinfectants for Medical Facilities
Selecting the correct cleaning chemicals and disinfectants is of paramount importance in medical cleaning. Some medical practices have specific chemical requirements. In all other cases, Brilliant Office Cleaning uses safe, eco-friendly cleaning detergents.
For disinfecting, we use only TGA (Therapeutic Goods Administration)approved disinfectants. These are reliable disinfectants that can be used in hospitals. Brilliant Office Cleaning never uses dangerous cleaning products.
Keeping Material Safety Data Sheets
Regardless of the nature of the medial practice, Brilliant Office Cleaning accurately maintains safety data sheets.
01
Cleaning vs. Disinfecting in Medical Practices
There is a difference between cleaning and disinfecting. This is sometimes misunderstood. Cleaning means removing dust, dirt, stains, etc. Disinfecting refers to action taken to prevent viruses and bacteria. Cleaning focuses on keeping the environment tidy. Disinfecting refers to maintaining acceptable health conditions within the premises.
All medical practices need both cleaning and disinfecting. Our cleaning and disinfecting procedures for medical practices are based on this fact.

Cleaning Special Areas in Medical Practices
Medical cleaning covers a vast area. Brilliant Office Cleaning provides cleaning services for many types of medical practices. Although there are some similarities, cleaning and disinfecting processes can vary from one centre to another.
Medical Centre Cleaning
Medical centre cleaning is the most frequently requested medical cleaning service. While many medical centres have similar requirements, some require special cleaning procedures. Brilliant Office Cleaning provides commercial cleaning services for the following types of medical practices:
- General practices and clinics
- Physiotherapy
- Podiatry
- Dietetics
- Psychology

- Pathology services
- Radiology and imaging centres
- Pharmacy
- Psychiatry
- Chronic disease management services

We are also capable of servicing any other type of medical centre.
Cleaning Medical Centres That Have Several Practices
When a number of medical practices exist in one building, the cleaning company must provide a range of services, as specified by management. Generally, a medical property management company is responsible for the cleaning and disinfection requirement. So, the cleaning company is engaged by the property management company.
Hospital Cleaning
Hospital cleaning is also a commonly requested service. However, the difference between cleaning medical centres and hospitals is that hospitals require some cleaning services during working hours. A hospital is expected to provide a 24×7 service, and it is common for hospitals to request a cleaning service in an emergency event. So, we have a process in place to accommodate this requirement.
Further, the safety of staff and patients is very important when cleaning a hospital during the day when there is significantly more human traffic, compared with evenings.
Other Medical Practices We Clean
In addition to the abovementioned medical centres, Brilliant Office Cleaning provides commercial cleaning services for many other medical practices. These include, but are not limited to:
- Nursing homes
