Sanitization programs
Sanitization built on science, not spray-and-wipe.
Cleaning removes soil; sanitizing and disinfecting make different product-label claims. AMR builds protocols around the correct EPA-registered product, labeled contact time, HEPA vacuuming, supervision, and verification for each environment.
Request a ProposalWho this is for
Institutions accountable for a higher standard of care.
Sanitization is for environments where "looks clean" is not the standard — where protocols, dwell times, and verification matter to the people responsible for the building.
Waiting rooms, exam-adjacent areas, reception, and restrooms — with HEPA vacuuming standard on medical accounts.
Classrooms, shared rooms, dining areas, restrooms, and the surfaces students and members rely on daily.
Dining areas, member spaces, fitness and locker areas, restrooms, and high-turnover shared surfaces.
The common problem
Spray-and-wipe looks clean. It is not disinfection.
Disinfectants require proper dwell time on the surface to work. A quick wipe removes the appearance of the problem, not the problem. Our protocols document the products, dwell times, and frequencies — so the result is real, not cosmetic.
What sanitization includes
The touchpoints and shared areas your institution answers for.
Door handles, push plates, switches, counters, railings, shared controls, and frequent-contact points.
Fixtures, dispensers, counters, partitions, handles, trash areas, and other concern-heavy surfaces.
Tables, counters, sinks, appliance handles, shared surfaces, trash points, and employee-use areas.
Conference rooms, waiting areas, classrooms, community rooms, and spaces used by multiple groups.
Reception counters, checkout areas, waiting-room surfaces, entry points, and visitor touchpoints.
Managing Partner Elias Dinzey has identified professionally designed UVGI as a potential supplemental layer. AMR can discuss whether a qualified specialist should evaluate it; UVGI never replaces cleaning, disinfection, or ventilation.
How we build the protocol
The protocol starts with the risk points.
Sanitization is not a checklist adjective. We map the shared spaces and touchpoints, document the products and dwell times each surface requires, and set frequencies the program can verify.
Review restrooms, breakrooms, conference rooms, lobbies, and every higher-standard space in scope.
Name the surfaces and rooms, then define the products and dwell times each one requires.
Match protocols to traffic, institutional requirements, and the recurring service schedule.
Sanitization cadence
The right protocol depends on the environment and its risk.
Standard for institutions that build disinfection into the recurring commercial or janitorial scope.
Concentrates protocol frequency on restrooms, lobbies, counters, and rooms used by many people daily.
Adds documented protocol coverage before or after events, gatherings, and facility-wide sessions.
Raises cleaning or disinfection frequency during elevated-concern periods using the approved product label and facility guidance.
Why AMR US Commercial Cleaning
Sanitization should be specific enough to audit.
Operator evidence
Equipment choice can change what occupants experience.
In an interview-derived AMR account example, a Northern Virginia professional-services firm moved to a HEPA-equipped protocol after its prior equipment redistributed fine particulates. Within 30 days, staff feedback improved and reported allergy complaints declined.

Sanitization FAQ
What facility directors ask before the proposal
What is the difference between cleaning and disinfecting?
Cleaning removes soil. Sanitizing reduces bacteria to the level stated on a sanitizer label. Disinfecting uses an EPA-registered product against the organisms named on its label and requires the surface to remain wet for the labeled contact time. AMR documents the selected product, surface, contact time, and frequency.
What is UV-C germicidal irradiation and when is it used?
Elias Dinzey has identified professionally designed UVGI as a potential supplemental layer for appropriate facilities. It does not replace cleaning, surface disinfection, or ventilation. AMR discusses the option during program design and involves qualified UVGI specialists when a facility wants to evaluate it.
Can sanitization protocols be standardized across locations?
Yes. The same documented protocols — surfaces, products, dwell times, and frequencies — run at every site, with supervised delivery and QA verification, so the standard holds across the portfolio.
Can sanitization be scheduled after hours?
Yes. After-hours and overnight scheduling is standard, and unoccupied buildings make proper dwell times easier to honor. Access protocols and building requirements are documented during onboarding.
