In preparation for an inspection by the Center for Medicare and MedicaidServices (CMS), a Texas hospital contacted Cotton to deep clean their main kitchen of approximately 25,000 sqft. While Cotton worked to complete the job, the hospital requested an additional 1,000,000 sqft be cleaned, including patient rooms, common areas, and bathrooms. To ensure the hospital remained 100% operational throughout the entire process, Cotton worked overnight, performed dishwashing services offsite, and provided a supplemental cleaning crew as needed.
