Infection Control
The primary objective of Jani-King's environmental cleaning services is to prevent the spread of disease. Healthcare facilities, by their very nature, must care for a variety of patients whose immune defenses may be compromised by trauma, disease, or age. Keeping patients healthier by preventing nosocomial infection leads to facility efficiency. At Jani-King, we understand the critical nature of healthcare. That's why the Jani-King Infection Control Program includes effective cleaning and sanitizing of high contact surfaces in restrooms, patient rooms, cafeterias, and common areas
