Healthcare

Stop the chain of infection.

Concerned about Healthcare Acquired Infections (HAIs)?

Seeking to enhance cleanliness ratings in your consumer assessments?

Interested in sustainable methods and reducing cleaning costs?

We’ve partnered with numerous healthcare facilities, such as dialysis centers, clinics, hospitals, dentist offices, and beyond. Although each practice varies, our unwavering commitment remains consistent: prioritizing the health and safety of both patients and staff members.

Breaking the chain of infection is a shared priority for both of us.

So are cost-saving initiatives and waste reduction. Our crews are extensively trained in operation and patient room cleaning, chemical safety, blood-borne pathogen awareness, and medical and biohazardous waste disposal and disinfection techniques. We can collaborate closely with your healthcare facility to develop a plan that ensures safety and effectiveness. Your patients will notice and appreciate the difference.

Dialysis Centers

Hemodialysis patients face significant infection risks due to frequent catheter and needle use during treatment. While disinfecting commonly used tools is crucial, their cleanliness is only as effective as the environment they're used in. Patient safety is reliant on a clean and disinfected facility. Hiring a professional reduces distractions that could lead to medication errors and patient falls—two major causes of infections in dialysis centers.

Hospitals

Hospitals are constantly exposed to a variety of pathogens. Cold and flu viruses can survive on surfaces for anywhere from a few seconds to 48 hours, while bacteria can persist for months. Regular cleaning with appropriate products is essential for preventing the spread of infection and illness. The Red Panda Cleaning program includes specialized training, infection control measures, hospital-grade disinfectants, state-of-the-art equipment, and a focus on disinfecting touch surfaces.

Surgery/Outpatient Centers

Healthcare acquired infections (HAIs) are no longer limited to hospitals. In recent years, numerous outbreaks have been associated with outpatient settings, often due to failure to adhere to recommended infection-prevention protocols. Cleaning a medical office demands specialized training and equipment that surpasses basic general janitorial cleaning.

Environmental Services serve as the initial line of defense.

Infection control at hospitals and surgery centers starts with an environmental services (EVS) program. While cleaning methods are crucial for ensuring a healthy facility, many overlook the fact that HAIs often arise from communication lapses. Without a dedicated team focused on preserving patient health and safety, accountability is undermined. We believe that hospitals and EVS teams must join forces to establish and communicate cleaning standards that are both realistic and effective.

Frequently Asked Questions

Hospital grade disinfectants clean and sanitize surfaces while simultaneously reducing the risk of infections. According to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), a hospital-grade disinfectant kills three specific types of germs: Staph, Pseudomonas and Salmonella. These 3 pathogens cover the broad scope of germ killing that is required in hospital and healthcare facilities.
Depending on the facility’s rules and regulations, our franchise owners and employees are required to pass two stepTB testing, a physical clearance, drug testing and background checks before they receive clearance to work in any healthcare setting. If immunization records are needed, we are happy to provide them. While cleaning, our staff is required to use appropriate PPE per regulations. Each member is equipped with a list of checkpoints that must be disinfected to ensure no surface is missed.
“Clean” in an office is different from clean in a hospital. Unlike an office, a hospital is bombarded by a variety of different pathogens on a daily basis. Hospitals are also filled with people who have immune systems that are already compromised. Ensuring that high touch areas are both clean and thoroughly disinfected is extremely important to preventing the spread of sickness and infections. While an office may not require around the clock cleaning, a hospital often requires multiple day porters to clean up spillages as needed.
