Hospital Environmental Services and Healthcare Cleaning Services
ABM’s housekeeping and hospital environmental services are built on our century of experience in healthcare cleaning services, in which we have maintained some of the most demanding environments. As a result, our healthcare cleaning processes and programs have been built upon a foundation of safety, auditable quality management, and a highly-trained professional workforce.
For healthier surroundings, the ABM Green Care™ Program uses environmentally-friendly cleaning products, high-efficiency equipment and new technology for hospital environmental services, such as:
- Triple-filter vacuums with HEPA filters
- Vapor machines to clean and sanitize

Chemical use and storage is a key focus within our healthcare cleaning, and we prove it by:
- Using Green Seal-certified or CARB VOC compliant chemicals
- Diluting concentrated chemicals on-site whenever possible

- Storing chemicals in a single-locked room or area with direct-to-outside exhaust ventilation
- Ensuring that only properly trained employees have access to the above areas
