This exam room cleaning checklist helps healthcare teams standardize daily hygiene and turnover tasks between patient visits. It covers waste and disposable restocking (soap, lotion, paper towels, sharps removal when two-thirds full), proper hand hygiene, and a step-by-step cleaning pathway: high dusting of lights and vents; disinfecting high-touch points including doorknobs, frames, hinges, light switches, nurse call cords, chairs, desks, countertops, drawer pulls, sinks, faucets, and vanities; cleaning mirrors and spot-cleaning walls; and wiping garbage cans inside and out. It also prompts timely rag changes, floor care with dust mopping, wet floor signage, wet mopping with microfiber heads, and vacuuming carpets. Final checks include reviewing the room and completing necessary work orders to ensure readiness and compliance.
