Some people file opticians under "retail". We do not. When patients are coming in and out all day, sitting in shared chairs, using shared equipment, and leaning into close- contact testing, cleanliness stops being a nice-to-have and becomes part of safe care.
Aspin FM provides medical cleaning for opticians, keeping your practice looking professional and feeling clinically cared for. The aim is simple. Reduce hygiene risk, protect patients and staff, and keep the place consistently presentable without you having to chase anyone.
If you need help quickly, call 0161 989 3280. We offer a 24-hour call-out service.
A normal commercial clean focuses on appearance. An optician's clean needs to cover appearance and hygiene control, every single visit. That means paying attention to touchpoints, managing cross-contamination risk, and cleaning in a way that supports patient flow rather than disrupting it.
It also means recognising that the "clean enough" line is higher, because your customers are not just browsing. They are sitting, testing, waiting, and often touching the same surfaces as the person who was there ten minutes ago.
We start with a site visit, because no two practices are laid out the same, and no two patient flows behave the same. Then we agree on a clear cleaning specification with you so everyone knows what good looks like. After that, we handle setup, documentation where needed, and staffing, then we move into what matters most, consistency.
Our teams work to repeatable processes backed by ISO 9001, which is a fancy way of saying we do not rely on "whoever is on shift". We train people to follow a system and manage it so that standards do not drift.
Opticians have a few areas that need extra attention every time. Reception and waiting areas are high-touch and high-turnover. Testing rooms and consultation areas need methodical cleaning, not rushed wipe downs. Frames, displays, counters, chairs, handles, and washrooms all sit in the same story too, because patients and staff move between them constantly.
We also pay attention to the parts that shape trust. Smears on glass, dusty corners, marks on skirtings, and washrooms that feel neglected all make a practice feel less clinical, even if the equipment is top-tier.
Most opticians prefer cleaning outside appointment times because it reduces disruption and gives the operative proper access to the full space. We can set the schedule around your opening hours so the practice is reset before the first patient arrives and still looks sharp at close.
If daytime support is needed, we can discuss options that keep the front of house presentable without getting in the way of staff and patients.
Spec-based cleaning is only useful if it is checked. We conduct regular audits against the agreed specification, and you have a single point of contact who remains accountable. If something slips, we do not argue about it. We fix it, communicate what happened, and make sure it stays fixed.
If your practice needs documented evidence of checks for internal governance or landlord reporting, we can provide practical confirmation of what has been completed and when.
An optician is personal. Patients are trusting you with their health, and you need to trust the people working in your space. Aspin FM provides trusted, friendly and vetted staff. Where DBS checks are required, we can support that as part of the setup.
You will see some cleaning companies shouting about carbon-neutral products. In real medical cleaning, performance comes first, because the safest practice is the genuinely clean one. Our approach is to reduce environmental impact through training, controlled product use, and efficient operations, while still using the right disinfectants and methods to protect patients and staff.
