FRESHX: Healthcare Cleaning System

For health care cleaning, it doesn't matter where you are: Monterey, Santa Cruz, San Benito, Santa Clara or the greater Fresno counties. FRESHX is your healthcare cleaning provider here to assist you.

FRESHX employee classroom and hands-on training and “Best Cleaning Practices” program helps prevent a higher than average turnover of the housekeeping staff. A comprehensive communication process on-going system with our staff accomplishes those goals.

Working with Infection Control Officials at hospitals is vital. FRESHX realizes the important role of the housekeeping supervisor to routinely train employees and communicate concerns with hospital administrators.

The housekeeping staff plays an important role in cleaning a variety of environments, from public areas to surgical suites.

The FRESHX management team understands that the housekeeping staff does not have the same education regarding the spread of infection and methods for controlling it as those trained in the medical field. FRESHX uses a color-coding system that is more self-explanatory and easier to follow. These tools and procedures help prevent cross-transmission of disease that can occur if cleaning products are not changed out often enough or proper measures are not taken.

Communicating and the understanding of bacteria such as MRSA, E-Coli and Mycobacterium tuberculosis that exist on surfaces and can be picked up and transmitted with hands and tools, is a vital part of the ongoing training.

Often there is a language barrier that the housekeeping staff faces. The use of check-off lists, guidelines, and picture taking or video documentation on critical, semi-critical, and non-critical environments will address the right procedures and methods enforcing a cleaning system. For example, we use color-coding cleaning cloths for different surfaces or routinely change out mop heads as cleaning progresses from room to room which is all part of critical important procedures. Strict adherence of the staff to hospital policy is not always enforced.

FRESHX staff training program offers a housekeeping & maintenance plan for routine maintenance of your facility with trained professional staff providing cleaning, touch-up, and change-out at appropriate cycles. We stay abreast of “Best Practices” in healthcare cleaning. For example, we utilize HEPA filter vacuums and microfiber color-coded cloths. As a professional caring company in the healthcare cleaning market, FRESHX seeks to make positive contributions to promote the health of the patients, the staff, and the environment with results and not excuses.
