One of the first things people will see when they enter your dental office is the waiting and reception room. People will see how clean your room is, the brightness of the area, and the various aesthetics that can foreshadow what kind of services you’ll be offering.
If you want your dental office to be seen as “professional,” cleanliness should be emphasized. It’s not easy to keep an office neat and tidy all of the time, but if you do, your clients will take notice, and you’ll draw in more clientele in the future. Here are some types of cleaning your dental office should undergo.
Disinfecting
Dentists understand how important disinfecting is. They clean off their dental tools all of the time. But the tools aren’t the only things that should be disinfected; the area around the tools should also be addressed.
Pay close attention to the following items around your office:
- Sinks & faucets
- Drawers
- Patient chairs
- Cabinets
- X-Ray tools
- Doorknobs
There are also items in your waiting and reception room that should be disinfected, such as:
- Phones
- Reception desk
- Keyboard & mouse
- Drawers
- Pens
- Chairs
- Filing cabinets
Always abide by CDC and OSHA guidelines while getting everything disinfected.
Dusting
You need the right tools when dusting around your dental office. Don’t use feather dusters because these only serve to spread dust around the room rather than actually remove it. Dampened cloths, handheld vacuums, and microfiber dusters are the preferred tools for getting your office dusted.
You also don’t want to wait until dust becomes visible. Dust can scatter germs throughout your dental office, which is especially problematic for anyone who has concerns with allergies.
Restocking & Refilling Cleaning Supplies
While not directly tied to cleaning, restocking and refilling cleaning supplies is still an important part of the cleaning process. It’s hard to stay hygienic when you don’t have soap for washing your hands or hand sanitizer for your clients to use.
Be sure to have a heavy supply of cleaning tools on hand so that you never run out. As long as you have cleaning supplies on hand, you’ll always be able to take action when your dental office starts to get dirty.
