When Your Facility Needs an Infection Control Program
- Seasonal increases in sickness absence among employees or students.
- Recurring complaints about bathroom odors or cleanliness.
- Large numbers of daily visitors, as in clinics, complexes, and hotels.
- An existing cleaning contract without clear standards or reviewable records.
- Preparation for a quality audit or accreditation requiring documented procedures.
- The start of school or opening a new branch.
Why Facilities in the Hejaz Cities Need These Programs
- Hajj and Umrah seasons increase visitor numbers at clinics, hotels, and shopping complexes in Makkah and Madinah, along with respiratory infections.
- Long summers mean closed windows, continuous air conditioning, and recirculated air for months.
- Dust and storms carry dirt into air ducts and filters.
- Jeddah's humidity encourages mold in bathrooms and around air-conditioning units.
- Schools begin the academic year at the end of summer, bringing children together after a break.
What Happens Without a Program?
- Infections spread through hands and shared surfaces such as handles, lifts, and fingerprint readers. According to the World Health Organization, hand hygiene is one of the most important ways to reduce infection transmission.
- Absence and reduced productivity: A sick employee may infect colleagues sharing the office.
- Reputation: A bathroom with an unpleasant odor in a clinic or restaurant leaves a lasting negative impression.
- Inspection findings: Without records, compliance is difficult to demonstrate even when cleaning is good.
Program Components
High-Touch Surfaces
We identify surfaces touched by many people and prioritize them for more frequent treatment:
- Door handles, lift buttons, and railings.
- Fingerprint readers, reception screens, and payment terminals.
- Reception desks and waiting chairs.
- Meeting tables, shared kitchens, and water coolers.
- In schools: Desks, classroom handles, and playground equipment.
Hand Hygiene
No program is complete without clean hands. We help with:
- Choosing sanitizer dispenser locations at entrances, lifts, and reception areas.
- Handwashing instruction signs near sinks.
- A checklist for replenishing soap, sanitizer, and paper towels.
- A short awareness session for employees or students as part of Training.
Bathrooms
We provide regular deep disinfection of toilets, sinks, floors, handles, and walls up to hand height, address deposits and mold in joints, and disinfect floor drains. We give the daily cleaning team a schedule specifying work from cleaner to more contaminated areas.
Air Quality and Air-Duct Disinfection
- Visual inspection of vents, filters, and condensate drains.
- Disinfecting vents, filters, and condensate drains with products intended for air-conditioning systems.
- Recommendations for filter replacement schedules according to dusty seasons.
- Observations on ventilation in crowded rooms.
Mechanical cleaning of large central systems is coordinated with the facility's approved maintenance contractor. We handle disinfection and documentation.

Before and After the Visit
Before the visit: Assign a facility coordinator and arrange access to bathrooms, equipment rooms, and air-conditioning vents. Clear papers and personal belongings from surfaces.
After the visit: Observe the return times in the table above and ventilate enclosed areas. General guidance is on the instructions before and after pest control page.
Guarantee
No program can prevent infection entirely, so we do not promise this. We guarantee the agreed schedule is carried out with approved products and will repeat any visit not completed according to the checklist at no charge within [Guarantee period]. See the Guarantee page.
Tips for Facility Management
- Assign one person to oversee the program and records.
- Place sanitizer dispensers where people actually pass, rather than in a remote corner.
- Ask sick employees to stay home instead of spreading infection.
- Increase disinfection frequency during Hajj and Umrah seasons and at the start of school.
- Do not mix cleaning products, and follow the container's contact time.
When is the cleaning team's work insufficient? When there are no written schedules or records, or complaints recur despite daily cleaning. A tailored program is then needed. For homes, see Home Disinfection.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How does an infection control program differ from a cleaning contract?
Cleaning removes dirt. The program identifies high-risk surfaces, uses disinfectants for the correct contact time, and documents the work in records.
Q: Do you work outside normal hours?
Yes. Most office and school visits are after hours or on weekends.
Q: Do you handle medical waste?
No. Specialist providers handle it. We cover surfaces, public areas, bathrooms, and air ducts.
Q: Do you train our staff?
Yes, through short sessions on hand hygiene, the disinfection sequence, and safe product use.
Q: Can the program be combined with pest control?
Yes, within one Pest Control Contract, with combined reports.
Q: How can I track visits?
Through the Client Portal, with the schedule, reports, and invoices in one place.
