Medical · Clinical-grade scope
Medical office & clinic cleaning
Cleaning a medical office is a different scope from a regular commercial space — TGA-listed disinfectants, sharps and clinical-waste handling, separation of clean and dirty zones, and a compliance trail your DHB / private auditor can read. Our partner teams hold the protocols and the vetting.

How medical cleaning is priced
Medical-grade cleaning runs 15-25% above standard commercial rates for the same square metre. The premium covers TGA-listed consumables (chemical cost is real), longer cleaner time per zone (dwell times for disinfectants), and the vetting / training overhead the provider carries. For a 200 sqm GP practice on a 5-night rotation, expect NZ$1,800-3,400 per month. Specialist clinics with theatre or procedure rooms quote higher and project-specific.
Vetting and compliance
- ● Police vetting Level 2 for cleaners with after-hours access to patient records
- ● Hepatitis B vaccination evidence on file for staff handling sharps bins
- ● TGA-listed product registry — provider supplies the SDS for every product in use
- ● Annual Ministry of Health WorkSafe compliance review
- ● Clinical-waste contractor relationship (Medi-waste or equivalent) confirmed
Frequently asked questions
Does my cleaner need to be a registered nurse or HCA? +
No — they need TR-34 disinfection training and the right product knowledge, not clinical qualifications. The clinical team handles patient-zone bedding and instrument reprocessing; the cleaner handles surfaces, floors, and waste.
Can the same provider clean my main practice and an after-hours clinic? +
Yes, and they should — consistency of protocols across sites is a compliance win. Specify it on the brief.
What if my building also has non-medical tenants? +
Most providers will run medical-zone cleaning and general-zone cleaning under one contract but with separate equipment per zone. Cross-contamination protocols are written into the SOW.
Does this cover dental practices? +
No — dental has its own protocols (separate aerosol exposure, amalgam waste). See `/dental-clinic-cleaning/` for the dental-specific scope.
