CQC-compliant, infection control cleaning for GP surgeries, dental practices, hospitals, veterinary clinics and private medical providers — delivered by a trusted, local family business.
A local name you can trust with your most critical environments
When it comes to cleaning a medical environment, there is no margin for error. That is why practice managers, hospital facilities teams and healthcare providers across Northwich and Cheshire choose ProCleanse.
We are a family-run commercial cleaning business, established in 2009 and proudly independent. Over more than fifteen years we have built our reputation one practice at a time — not through aggressive marketing, but through genuine quality of service and absolute dedication to getting it right, every single time.
What makes us different from a large national contractor? You will always speak to someone who knows your site. You will always have a named supervisor responsible for your account. And you will always receive a cleaning standard that meets — and typically exceeds — the requirements of the Care Quality Commission (CQC) and NHS infection prevention and control guidance.
If your practice is in Northwich, Weaverham, Tarporley, Bunbury, Hartford or anywhere across Cheshire, we would love to talk to you about how we can help.
“Since 2009 we have been trusted by medical practices across the North West. Our team are trained, dedicated, and genuinely care about the patients and staff in every building we service.”
— ProCleanse, Family-run since 2009
Specialist medical cleaning for every type of healthcare environment
ProCleanse has direct experience across the full spectrum of clinical and healthcare settings. We understand that each environment carries its own infection control challenges and regulatory requirements.
Cleaning procedures
ProCleanse operates to the structured protocols that practice managers and hospital facilities teams expect from a specialist contractor. All procedures are documented, audited and delivered to Health and Social Care Act 2008 standards. Below is an overview of the core procedures we deliver on every contract.
Routine and terminal cleaning
We differentiate between routine daily cleaning and terminal (deep) cleaning following patient discharge or an infectious event. Terminal cleaning protocols include full room disinfection using BS EN 1276 and BS EN 13727 tested bactericidal and virucidal agents, ensuring eradication of pathogens including MRSA, Clostridioides difficile (C. diff) and norovirus.
High-touch surface disinfection
Clinical environments have disproportionately high contamination rates on frequently touched surfaces. Our operatives follow a systematic high-touch point schedule covering door handles, light switches, nurse call buttons, bed rails, IV stands, reception desks, keyboard and telephone surfaces, and waiting area seating — with defined contact times for each disinfectant applied.
Colour-coded equipment (NPSA scheme)
All equipment — mops, cloths, buckets and gloves — is colour-coded in line with the National Patient Safety Agency (NPSA) National Colour Coding Scheme. This prevents cross-contamination between clinical areas, sanitary facilities, kitchens and general spaces. Equipment is single-use where mandated and is disposed of safely following each session.
Infection prevention and control (IPC) compliance
Our cleaning schedules are written to align with your practice’s own Infection Prevention and Control (IPC) policy and the broader framework set by NHS England. We liaise with your IPC lead or practice manager to ensure our procedures integrate seamlessly with your clinical governance structure.
COSHH-compliant chemical management
All products used by ProCleanse are selected and handled in accordance with the Control of Substances Hazardous to Health (COSHH) Regulations 2002. Full COSHH data sheets are maintained on site. We use UKCPI-approved disinfectants appropriate for clinical use, stored correctly and applied at validated concentrations and dwell times.
HTM 01-05 dental decontamination standards
For dental practices, we operate to Health Technical Memorandum HTM 01-05 — the definitive standard for decontamination in primary dental care. This covers clinical area cleaning, decontamination room maintenance and management of clinical waste and sharps, ensuring your CQC registration remains protected.
Documented cleaning schedules and audit trails
Every clean is recorded on a signed, supervisor-countersigned schedule that is retained on site and available for CQC inspection at any time. We conduct independent hygiene audits across all our contracted sites on a rolling basis, with results shared with the practice manager. This evidential trail demonstrates your commitment to cleaning governance and infection control compliance.
Healthcare-associated infection (HAI) prevention
Reducing the incidence of healthcare-associated infections (HAIs) is the primary clinical objective of all our work. Our operatives are trained to understand transmission routes, to recognise outbreak scenarios and to escalate appropriately. Where required, we can deploy enhanced precaution cleaning in response to an alert organism or an infection control incident.
Waste segregation and safe disposal
Clinical, offensive, sharps and domestic waste streams are segregated at source in accordance with HTM 07-01 and UK clinical waste regulations. Our operatives are trained to handle and bag waste correctly, reducing the risk of needlestick injury and cross-contamination during removal. Waste disposal is carried out by licensed contractors.
Your complete CQC Infection Control file — included as standard
Every ProCleanse medical cleaning contract includes a full, CQC Regulation 12-ready Infection Control file, held on your premises and updated continuously. This package is designed to satisfy your CQC inspector at the point of inspection.
