Health & Senior Care

Common Cleaning Challenges in Long Term and Assisted Living Homes

Infection Risks Across High Touch Surfaces

Senior care residents are more vulnerable to illness. Frequent disinfection is needed for railings, tables, chairs, therapy equipment, nurse stations and communal spaces.

Odours from Biological Spills and Incontinence

Urine, organic soils and waste related odours are common challenges in resident rooms, lounges, washrooms and laundry areas.

Cleaning Around Mobility Equipment and Tight Spaces

Wheelchairs, walkers and medical equipment create hard to reach areas that require compact and ergonomic cleaning tools.

Carpets and Upholstery Stains

Spills on seating, rugs and carpets require fast spot removal to support resident comfort and hygiene.

Accessible Washrooms and Shower Areas

Tile and grout, drains and fixtures require consistent disinfecting and odour control to maintain dignity and safety for residents.

Dining Rooms and Food Contact Surfaces

Food contamination risks require reliable sanitizing and frequent wipe downs.

Heavy Foot Traffic in Common Areas

Lounge areas, hallways and therapy rooms need cleaners that maintain appearance without harsh odours.

Multiple Cleaning Needs Across a Single Facility

Facilities include dining rooms, resident rooms, nurse stations, laundry, therapy and more. Standardization is essential.
