Ambulances so Clean You Could Eat Off of the Floors*
*but you still probably shouldn't
I am a long-time paramedic and I’ve built a career working in ambulances and fire apparatus over the last 26 years, working both in both the EMS and Fire services.
Needless to say, I've cleaned a lot of emergency vehicles in the last couple of decades.
So when I opened CK’s Minor Details, LLC a few years back, I took the expertise I developed detailing ambulances and fire trucks and built my business as a full-service automotive detailing and deep cleaning service. I specialize in daily drivers, or the real vehicles that real people use and depend on. My work is exceptional, my results are top-notch, my customer service is excellent, and I have left a long list of satisfied customers who continue to choose me to clean, restore, protect, and maintain their vehicles.
Now that the business is established and growing, I am excited to announce that I am adding a new service line to my existing detailing business. Ambulance Detailing and Fire Truck Detailing.
I have cleaned a lot of ambulances and emergency vehicles. In fact, my detailing business rose from my professional passion for having “the cleanest ambulances in the county.” My dedication to ambulance cleanliness springs from both a pride for my profession and my knowledge that clean patient care is better patient care. For that end, I am offering up a service line where I can bring my unique expertise to your ambulance service or fire department to make sure that your ambulances, fire apparatus, and other vehicles are also The Cleanest in the County.
I offer general cleaning, specialty cleaning, restoration, disinfection, and surface protection services for the interior and exterior of ambulances and emergency vehicles. Whether you need a one-time thorough deep cleaning and detailing of your vehicle to restore it to a better-than-factory new condition, or want to set up a regular “terminal cleaning” schedule to keep up with CDC Guidelines to reduce the spread of Healthcare Acquired Infections, I am uniquely qualified to do so.
As a paramedic who has been in the business for as long as I have, I have seen any type of mess an ambulance or fire truck can have, and as a professional cleaner I have the science-based cleaning knowledge to clean it.
I have experience cleaning in both a healthcare environment and an automotive cleaning environment. I am uniquely qualified to deeply clean ambulances and fire apparatus without damaging sensitive and expensive equipment. I can also detail, restore, polish, and protect the exterior of your vehicles to maintain that Parade-Ready look and show off your organizational pride in your community’s investment.
I offer aluminum polishing, paint correction, paint protection (paint sealants, ceramic sealants, and ceramic coatings), and can repair light surface damage such as scratches and scrapes using detailing techniques (wet sanding, compounding, polishing, and glazing). I can restore aluminum diamond plate, polish dull aluminum surfaces, polish chrome, and even restore clouded warning light lenses for clarity.
Contact me today to see how I can promote the health and safety of your patients and personnel while restoring and maintaining your investment in your vehicles. There’s no substitute for experience and expertise, and I’m happy to bring that to your organization and show you how I can help.
Ambulance Detailing
Interior Deep Cleaning and Exterior Detailing for Ambulances and EMS vehicles. Keep your patients safer, your crews healthier, and keep your ambulances looking their best.
Ambulance Interior Detailing
The insides of ambulances get dirty with use and ambulance personnel don't always have the time or expertise to get them as clean as they need to be to prevent the spread of Healthcare Acquired Infections. There is also a lot of sensitive electronics and expensive equipment in ambulances that can be difficult to safely clean without causing expensive damage. Let me keep your patients and people safer and your ambulances lasting longer with thorough deep-cleaning of your ambulance's interior spaces. I use my decades of experience and thorough knowlede and follow EPA and CDC guidelines to get your ambulance as clean and safe as it can be.
Exterior Detailing and Paint Protection
Ambulance exteriors take a beating. Let me clean, restore, and protect your ambulance's exterior to a showroom shine that shows your service's pride in your community's investment. I can polish, seal, and protect your ambulance's exterior and even repair minor scratches such as those annoying scratches on the side of the box that come from overhanging tree branches.
Diamond Plate and Aluminum Polishing
Is the aluminum diamond plate or other polished aluminum surfaces on your ambulance or fire apparatus looking oxidized and dull? I can restore it to a Parade-Ready shine.
Ambulance Interior Deep Cleaning
Prevent the spread of Healthcare Acquired Infections, keep your crews healthier, and keep your ambulance interiors in top shape with my ambulance interior detailing and deep cleaning services.
Front Passenger Compartment
Your people spend a lot of time in the front of their ambulance. Keep it clean, sanitary, and fresh with a full interior detailing. This service includes a thorough cleaning of all interior surfaces, cleaning and exteaction of fabrics and seats, and application of an interior protectant to help keep the surfaces cleaner and slow the process of wear and tear. All services are done in a safe manner to prevent damage to the expensive electronics and equipment found in ambulances and emergency vehicles.
Patient Care Compartment
When real EMS work happens, things can get messy. General cleaning between calls is always necessary, but cleaning in a healthcare environment takes specialized knowledge. Cleaning in a healthcare environment that is also a moving vehicle also takes specialized knowledge. Thorough cleaning of your ambulance's patient care compartment is necessary to prevent cross-contamination of patients and crewmembers and is also important to prevent the spread of Healthcare Acquired Infections. A regular "terminal cleaning" of the patient care area following CDC and EPA guidelines is essential for safe patient care.
Cleaning Durable Medical Equipment
Almost every patient you treat touches the cot and a lot of patients you treat touch things like the stair chair, backboards, and scoop stretchers. And like... how clean are they really? While a quick wipe down with a cleaning wipe before leaving the ED is nice, it doesn't get everything. Dirt builds up over time and can become a reservoir for pathogenic material creating a danger for patients and crews.
Each interior ambulance detail includes a thorough deep cleaning of durable medical equipment such as the cot, stair chair, backboards, and scoop stretchers. Deep cleans of these items are performed in accordance with manufacturer guidelines and my decades of professional experience.
Ambulance Exterior Detailing
From thorough detail washes, paint decontamination, paint correction with machine polishing, and lasting paint protection services all the way up to exterior damage repair and aluminum polishing. I offer everything the exterior of your ambulance needs to stay Parade-Ready Perfect.
Ambulance Exterior Detailing
Thoroughly wash and decontaminate your ambulance's exterior removing dirt, tar, bugs, and other bonded contaminants. Clean the exterior compartments, door jambs, seams, trim, and the engine bay. Protect your paint with lasting paint protection to keep your surfaces cleaner for longer and make dirt just slide right off.
Paint Correction and Light Damage Repair
Does the paint on your ambulance look dull, faded, or swirled? Does your ambulance have unsightly light scratches on the paint? I can wet-sand, compound, and polish your paint back to life to restor gloss, clarity, and appearance. Follow this with a long-lasting paint protection product to keep your ambulance looking exceptional
Aluminum Polishing and Restoration
Does your ambulance or fire truck have a lot of polished aluminum or diamondplate surfaces? Is that diamondplate or aluminum not as shiny as it should be? All aluminim oxidizes over time and can become covered with mineral spot buildup and other stains. Let me restore it back to the mirror-like finish that reflects your service's pride.
Auto Detailing Explained
How does this work?
All services for Ambulances, Fire Trucks, and Emergency Vehicles are performed on-site at your station. I will need access to water and power as well as a space to work. Vehicles should be out of service while work is being performed unless absolutely needed. Work on one vehicle can take between 4 to 10 hours depending on the extent of services needed.
What cleaning methods do you use?
Interior ambulance cleaning methods include the use of safe, commercial, and automotive grade cleaning chemicals such as enzyme cleaners, automotive-safe interior cleaners, interior automotive protectants, non-ammoniated glass cleaners, and EPA-registered hospital-grade disinfectants. I use a variety of tools including several types of brushes, scrubbing tools, powered scrub brushes, a high-pressure steam cleaner, upholstery extractors, compressed air guns, vacuums, and blowers. All methods and tools are meant to focus on a thorough mechanical cleaning and restoration of all surfaces to eliminate the areas where pathogens can collect and where they form potential reservoirs for infection.
Do you offer recurring services on a schedule?
The CDC recommends cleaning methods and schedules that help healthcare organizations prevent Healthcare Acquired Infections. These recommendations include routine cleanings of high-touch areas and equipment used on calls like your crews do in-between calls. They also recommend "Terminal Cleanings" where a healthcare environment is thoroughly deep-cleaned with all surfaces in the space being cleaned including both high-touch and low-touch surfaces to clean and remove sources of infection from areas that may be overlooked during routine cleaning. The CDC also recommends scheduled cleaning where a terminal cleaning is performed on a regularly-scheduled basis to help stop the build-up of reservoirs of infection.
I specialize in terminal cleanings and routine cleanings on a monthly, quarterly, or bianual basis depending on your service's call volume. Exterior ambulance details should also be performed on this schedule to keep a fresh layer of protection on your vehicle's exterior surfaces to keep them looking their best.
