We aren't a janitorial company. We are a facility hygiene partner.
Partner with a team that understands facility risk, cross-contamination prevention, and documented accountability.
Anvil Clinical Hygiene protects patients, staff, and occupants by delivering environmental services to a documented clinical standard, where every surface is cleaned by protocol, verified, and reported.
Meet the Founder Behind the Standard
Learn how Anvil Clinical Hygiene raises the bar for facility cleanliness from our EVS-informed protocols to our documented verification process.
Ritchie Allen Hansen — Founder & CEO
Anvil Clinical Hygiene was founded by Ritchie Allen Hansen, who has spent 14+ years running facilities and environmental services in hospitals and clinics: as a hospital Director of Maintenance, as an EVS Manager serving on a hospital Infection Control Committee, as Facilities Operations Manager for a Joint Commission–accredited hospital and nine satellite clinics, and as EVS Supervisor for a clinic campus. In healthcare, cleaning is about process discipline, cross-contamination prevention, and proof. Most commercial cleaning has none of the three. Anvil was built to close that gap.
Ritchie brought hospital EVS methodology, fluorescent-marker verification audits, and documented accountability — the same systems that protect patients — to commercial facilities across Washington State.
The Anvil Manifesto
We believe commercial facilities deserve better than the industry standard. Here is where we draw the line between looks clean and verified.
What We Reject
The Status Quo
- Appearance-based cleaning that leaves residue behind
- Dirty mop water spreading cross-contamination
- Unverified work and looks-clean assumptions
- High-turnover, untrained cleaners
- Generic chemicals with improper dwell times
What We Champion
The Anvil Standard
- Bonded & Insured
- Background-Checked
- EPA-Registered Products
- Healthcare EVS-Informed
We don't hire cleaners. We train Facility Hygiene Technicians.
The quality of your facility hygiene is only as good as the person executing the protocol. We invest in our team to ensure they understand the science of cleaning, not just the physical labor.
EVS-Informed Protocols
Professional-grade environmental services methodology applied to commercial spaces.
Chemical Dwell Time Discipline
Disinfectants require specific contact times per EPA label. Our techs are trained on precise dwell times for every registered product.
Accountability Reporting
Digital checklists and fluorescent-marker verification document every visit.
Standards We Hold Ourselves To
Every Anvil engagement is built on four non-negotiable operational standards.
Bonded & Insured
Washington State licensed, bonded, and insured for commercial facility operations.
Background-Checked
Every Facility Hygiene Technician undergoes background screening before any client facility assignment.
EPA-Registered Products
All cleaning agents are EPA-registered and applied according to label directions, including proper surface dwell times.
Healthcare EVS-Informed
Protocols adapted from hospital Environmental Services (EVS) methodology — built for infection risk management, not surface shine.
The Person Behind the Promise
Anvil is led by someone who has run hospital EVS and facilities departments and held the standard personally.
