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.
