Questions practice managers actually ask

The short version: we measure, we document, we show up with the same team.

Here's the detail behind that sentence. Trust and proof, pricing and the Founder's Deal, and the logistics of actually switching cleaning companies.

ATP SURFACE TESTLIVE

SURFACE 03, OPERATORY LIGHT HANDLE

–––RLU

SWAB READING…

Our target is 25 RLU, four times stricter than the 100 RLU pass limit.
Typical untested office surfaces exceed 300 RLU.
327 and 18 are real readings from a client site. The client is not named.

What the number means

Lower is cleaner. Scored in RLU, relative light units.

0 to 100 passes. 101 to 299 is caution: we re-clean and retest. 300 and above fails. Our own target on every high-touch surface we test is 25. The two pins are the real client-site readings replayed on the meter above.

Trust & proof

The number, who takes it, who shows up, and what lands in your inbox after every visit.

How often do you ATP-test, and can I see the numbers?

The cadence is yours. Scoped at your walkthrough to fit your facility, from periodic spot-checks for offices to tighter schedules for clinical rooms. Wherever testing runs, high-touch surfaces are swabbed with an ATP luminometer and scored in RLU; our standard is below 25 RLU, the pass threshold used in hospital cleaning audits, and readings land in your inbox after the visit. No meter, no number. Most cleaning companies have neither.

Does ATP testing prove disinfection?

No, and anyone who tells you it does is overclaiming. ATP measures organic residue: it verifies a surface was actually cleaned, to a measurable standard. It does not measure pathogen kill or regulatory compliance. That distinction matters to us; it's the one number that proves the cleaning happened, and we'd rather you know exactly what it means than assume more than it says.

What happens if a surface reads high?

We re-clean it and re-test it, on the spot. That's the whole system. The number isn't decoration, it's the standard we hold ourselves to.

Do we get the same team every visit?

Yes. The same trained, background-checked team is assigned to your facility permanently. Rotating crews are why cleaning quality drifts, a different person every week cleans to a different standard. Ours doesn't drift because it doesn't rotate.

Is photo-timestamped documentation delivered after every clean?

The room-by-room checklist and timestamped photos come with every single visit, automatically. ATP verification runs on a cadence scoped to your facility at the walkthrough, spot-checks for most offices, tighter schedules for clinical rooms, and you see every reading we take. The 25 RLU standard applies to every clean, whether or not that visit is swabbed.

Who actually cleans, your employees or subcontracted vendors?

Our own team. No vendor networks, no subcontractors, no brokered crews. Many "cleaning companies" in Columbus are actually vendor managers who sell the contract and subcontract the work, you never know who's in your building. With us, you always do.

Pricing & the Founder's Deal

Flat monthly rates scoped on your floor plan, and what paying ahead earns you.

How does pricing work?

Flat monthly rate, scoped at the walkthrough on your actual floor plan. Square footage, room count, frequency. No hourly meters, no surprise line items. Month-to-month is always available at the standard rate. Comparing quotes? Here is why a price per square foot is not really a rate.

What is the Founder's Deal?

Early-practice pricing that rewards commitment without requiring it. Month-to-month runs at the standard rate. Pay 3 months upfront and the 4th month is free, with your rate locked for life. Pay 6 months upfront and the 7th month is 75% off. Pay a full year upfront and you get 2 months free. There's no long-term lock-in behind any of these tiers, they're a reward for paying ahead, not a contract trap.

Isn't switching cleaning companies risky?

The real risk is drift you can't see. We de-risk the switch three ways: the walkthrough happens before any commitment, the first weeks are documented visit-by-visit so you can compare against your old provider, and there's no long-term lock-in required to get the standard rate.

The walkthrough

Thirty minutes on site, who shows up, and what you leave with.

How long does the complimentary ATP walkthrough take?

About 30 minutes, on site. We walk the facility together, swab your highest-touch surfaces, and read each one in RLU while you watch. You have the readings in hand before we leave.

Who runs the walkthrough?

Erik Kuusisto, the owner. He does the walkthrough himself, answers the phone, and scopes the rate on your floor plan. No dispatch queue, no sales rep who hands you off.

What do we get after the walkthrough?

The ATP readings from your surfaces, yours to keep whether you hire us or not, and, if you want one, a flat monthly rate scoped on your actual floor plan. No obligation either way.

Logistics

Switching, after-hours access, insurance, training, and where we work.

We already have a cleaner, why would we switch?

Ask your current cleaner whether they ATP-test at all, and whether they can show you a single reading. If the answer is a blank look, you're paying for "trust me." A complimentary ATP walkthrough of your facility, your surfaces, real readings, no obligation, tells you in 30 minutes whether what you're paying for is what you're getting.

Can you clean after hours?

Yes. Evenings and weekends are standard for practices, so patients and clients are never disrupted. Facility access is handled however you're comfortable: key, code, or lockbox, documented in writing.

Are you insured and bonded?

Yes. Fully insured and bonded, and every team member passes a background check before entering any facility. Certificates available on request.

What certifications and training do you hold?

IJCSA medical facility certification; staff trained on OSHA bloodborne pathogen standards, HIPAA-conscious conduct, EPA-registered disinfectant use at full label dwell time, color-coded microfiber protocol, and the noncritical/semicritical surface distinction used in clinical cleaning.

What areas do you serve?

Columbus and Central Ohio: Dublin, New Albany, Worthington, Upper Arlington, Powell, the Short North, German Village, and surrounding communities.

30 minutes · your facility · you keep the readings

What happens during the complimentary ATP walkthrough?

About 30 minutes, on site, with Erik. We walk your facility together, swab your highest-touch surfaces, and read each one in RLU on the spot. The readings are yours whether you hire us or not.

Step 01

Walk

We walk your facility together and talk through the cleaning risk review for your facility type: traffic patterns, high-touch zones, access, frequency.

Step 02

Swab

Your highest-touch surfaces are swabbed with the luminometer. Chair arms, light handles, countertops, door hardware.

Step 03

Read

Each swab is scored in RLU within seconds. You watch the number land, surface by surface.

Step 04

Keep

The readings are yours, with no obligation. If you want a scoped monthly rate, it is built from what we saw together.

Delivered after every visit

What do we hand you after every visit?

Three things, in your inbox before the van leaves the lot: a room-by-room checklist, photo-timestamped documentation, and ATP readings on the verification cadence scoped at your walkthrough.

Artifact 01

Room-by-Room Checklist

What was cleaned, when, and by whom, your facility's own SOP, checked off line by line.

Artifact 02

Photo-Timestamped Documentation

You see the work, not just a signature. Inspection-supportive records for every visit.

Artifact 03

ATP Readings

RLU readings from selected high-touch surfaces on the verification cadence included in your scope. A measurable point of comparison for cleaning performance over time.
