Medical & Dental Office
A clinic is cleaned to a standard, not to an appearance. Exam rooms are disinfected between the day's last patient and the next morning's first, high-touch surfaces are wiped with the dwell time the product label requires, and waste is separated the way the practice's protocol says. This checklist is written so the practice manager can hand it to a new cleaner and get the same result every night.
Prints on one or two pages, tick boxes included.

How to use this checklist on the phone
Print it and hand a copy to each cleaner, or load it as a room-by-room checklist in FacilityCare IQ. The free plan covers 2 buildings.
On each visit the cleaner clocks in at the building, ticks the items as they go, and adds a photo where you have asked for one.
The completed checklist and the clock-in and clock-out times sit on the visit the same night. Share the visit with the client by link when they ask.
