Vitalcare’s Proven Approach to Healthcare Cleaning

A Case Study.



In healthcare, cleanliness is more than appearance, it is a matter of life and death. Hospitals and clinics face strict hygiene standards to prevent infections, safeguard patients, and protect staff. At Vitalcare Cleaning Services Ltd, we have developed a specialized cleaning approach designed to meet the unique challenges of the healthcare sector.



The Challenge



One of our healthcare clients, a busy private clinic in Nairobi, was struggling with:





  • High patient traffic in waiting areas and consultation rooms




  • Risk of cross-contamination on high-touch surfaces such as door handles, beds, and equipment




  • Inconsistent cleaning standards due to untrained in-house staff




  • Patient complaints about facility cleanliness, which risked damaging their reputation





The clinic needed a partner who could provide reliable, professional healthcare cleaning aligned with strict infection-control protocols.



Our Solution



Vitalcare implemented a comprehensive cleaning program tailored to the clinic’s needs:



1. Specialized Training for Healthcare Environments



Our staff received training in infection prevention, safe chemical handling, and disinfection protocols aligned with international healthcare cleaning standards.



2. Zoning System to Prevent Cross-Contamination



We divided the clinic into zones (critical, semi-critical, and non-critical areas) and assigned color-coded cleaning tools for each zone. This eliminated cross-use of materials between sensitive areas like treatment rooms and public waiting areas.



3. Focus on High-Touch Disinfection



Special attention was given to:





  • Bed rails, doorknobs, and light switches




  • Waiting room chairs and reception counters




  • Washrooms and staff changing areas




  • Medical equipment surfaces





4. Eco-Friendly, Hospital-Grade Products



We used EPA-approved disinfectants effective against bacteria and viruses, while ensuring safety for patients and staff.



5. Flexible Scheduling & 24/7 Support



Cleaning was scheduled to avoid disruption during consultations and included emergency response cleaning when required.



The Results



Within three months, the clinic reported:





  • 40% reduction in patient complaints about cleanliness




  • Improved compliance with Ministry of Health inspection standards




  • Enhanced staff morale due to a cleaner, safer workplace




  • Positive patient feedback, with many noting the hygienic environment as part of their overall care experience
