How are you different from regular commercial cleaning companies?

Healthcare facilities have environmental-cleaning requirements and risk considerations that differ from many conventional office settings. Depending on the agreed service plan, our approach may include documented SOPs, colour-coded systems, cross-contamination controls, disinfectant contact-time procedures, quality inspections, corrective-action tracking and ATP cleanliness monitoring. Our services include:

  • Healthcare-grade disinfection
  • SOP-driven cleaning procedures
  • Cross-contamination prevention
  • Healthcare-focused infection prevention practices
  • Documented quality inspections
  • ATP verification (where included)
  • Monthly quality reviews
  • Quarterly client review meetings
Are your staff trained?

SterileCore personnel assigned to cleaning work receive training appropriate to their responsibilities. This may include WHMIS education, job- and product-specific chemical training, PPE procedures, cross-contamination controls, sharps awareness, facility orientation and SterileCore standard operating procedures. Training records are maintained in accordance with company requirements. Every SterileCore technician receives training in:

  • WHMIS
  • Healthcare-focused infection prevention
  • PPE use
  • Cross-contamination prevention
  • Chemical handling
  • Sharps awareness
  • SterileCore Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs)
What cleaning products do you use?

We select cleaning and disinfection products based on the surface, facility requirements, product compatibility and the agreed service scope. For disinfection, we follow the manufacturer's label directions, including preparation, application and contact time. Product information can be provided to the client upon request.

Do you follow infection prevention standards?

Our procedures are informed by recognized environmental-cleaning and infection-prevention principles and are adapted to the written service scope. We also coordinate with facility-specific policies where they are provided to us. SterileCore's environmental-cleaning services support but do not replace the facility's IPAC program, clinical policies or professional responsibilities. Our procedures follow recognized infection prevention principles and standardized SOPs.

Do you provide ATP testing?

Yes, ATP Verification monitor provides an indicator of biological residue on tested surfaces but does not identify pathogens, confirm sterility or guarantee the prevention of infection.

Are you insured?

Yes, SterileCore Solutions Inc. maintains commercial general liability insurance applicable to its contracted operations. Evidence of current coverage can be provided upon request.

Are your employees covered by WCB?

Yes. Workers are covered in accordance with applicable Alberta workers' compensation requirements. A clearance letter may be provided when available and appropriate.

How often should my clinic be cleaned?

The appropriate frequency depends on:

  • Patient volume
  • Number of treatment rooms
  • Clinical services provided
  • Operating hours
  • Infection risk

We will prepare a service plan basec on your facility's operations, scheduled and identified environmental-cleaning requirements. Our services are intended to support your facility's procedures; responsibility for determining and maintaining the facility's legal professional and regulatory compliance remains with the facility

Do you require long-term contracts?

We offer flexible service agreements. We'll discuss options during your consultation.

Can you clean after clinic hours?

Yes. Workdays, Evenings, weekends or after-hours service are available depending on client preferences.

What happens if there is an issue?

Reported service concerns are handled through a documented process that includes logging the concern, reviewing the circumstances, assigning corrective action, communicating with the client and verifying follow-up where appropriate.

Do you provide cleaning supplies and equipment?

Yes. We provide the equipment, microfiber systems and healthcare-grade products. Consumables like soap, paper towels, tissue and toilet paper are an optional add-on.

How do I get a quote?

Complete our online quote form for a preliminary service range, customized to the details you provide.

Do you do a site assessment, and is it free?

Yes. We offer a complimentary on-site assessment for facilities actively considering professional cleaning. It lets us understand your facility, answer questions and prepare an accurate proposal. It isn't a standalone consulting or infection-prevention audit service.

Why conduct a complimentary site assessment if I already have a quote?

The online estimate is provided for preliminary budgeting purposes. A site assessment allows us to verify the facility information, confirm the service scope, identify access or operational requirements and prepare a written proposal. Online estimates are preliminary budgeting ranges. Final pricing and service obligations are established only in an accepted written proposal or service agreement.

Request a complimentary site assessment

Our team will visit your facility, assess your cleaning requirements, and develop a customized service plan designed specifically for your healthcare environment.

Disclaimer: Complimentary site assessments are available for qualified healthcare facilities following review of your estimate request.
