The overhead problem in dental offices
Every patient looks straight up at ceiling vents, tile and lights.
What to clean first
Supply Register and Diffuser Cleaning
Supply register and diffuser cleaning removes the dust, lint and grime that collects on the face and visible fins of the vents that blow conditioned air into a room.
Acoustic Ceiling Tile Cleaning
Acoustic ceiling tile cleaning removes surface dust, smudging and discoloration from drop-ceiling tiles without replacing them.
Light Fixture and Troffer Lens Cleaning
Light fixture cleaning removes dust, dead insects and film from the lenses, louvers and housings of commercial troffers and surface-mounted lights.
TV and Display Cleaning
TV and display cleaning removes dust, grease film and smudges from wall-mounted and ceiling-mounted screens and their back panels.
Drop Ceiling Grid (T-Bar) Cleaning
Drop ceiling grid cleaning removes the dust and dark film that collect on the white metal T-bar framework of suspended ceilings.
Recommended schedule
