Why School Cleaning is Essential
Schools are bustling environments where cleanliness is not just a matter of appearance but health and safety. With hundreds of students and staff moving through hallways, classrooms, and common areas daily, maintaining high standards of cleanliness helps prevent the spread of germs and allergens. This is essential in reducing absenteeism and promoting overall well-being among students and staff.
Our Approach to School Cleaning
1. Tailored Cleaning Plans:
We recognise that every school is different, with unique requirements based on its size, layout, and number of occupants. Our team works closely with school administrators to develop customised cleaning plans that address specific needs. These plans might include daily cleaning routines, periodic deep cleans, and special attention to high-traffic areas.
2. Focus on High-Touch Surfaces:
High-touch surfaces, such as door handles, light switches, and desks, are hotspots for germs. Our cleaning protocols emphasise thorough sanitisation of these surfaces to minimise the risk of infection and ensure a hygienic environment. We use advanced disinfecting products that are effective yet safe for use around children and staff.
3. Eco-Friendly Products:
We are committed to using environmentally friendly, effective, safe cleaning products. Our eco-friendly cleaning solutions help reduce the chemical footprint in schools, creating a healthier environment while maintaining rigorous cleanliness standards.
4. Comprehensive Cleaning Services:
Our school cleaning services cover all areas of the facility, including:
- Classrooms: Regular cleaning and sanitisation of desks, chairs, and other classroom surfaces, along with vacuuming or mopping floors.
- Restrooms: Thorough cleaning and disinfecting of toilets, sinks, and floors, ensuring a hygienic and pleasant experience for users.
- Common Areas: Cleaning and maintaining hallways, libraries, cafeterias, and gymnasiums, including floor cleaning, window washing, and trash removal.
- Specialised Areas: Attention to specialised areas, such as laboratories and art rooms, where specific cleaning protocols are required to handle chemicals and equipment safely.
5. Regular and Deep Cleaning:
In addition to daily cleaning tasks, we schedule regular deep cleans to address areas that require more intensive attention. This includes steam cleaning carpets, scrubbing floors, and cleaning behind and under furniture. Deep cleaning ensures that all areas of the school are thoroughly cleaned and maintained.
6. Trained and Insured Staff:
Our cleaning team consists of trained professionals who understand the unique needs of school environments. We invest in ongoing training to update our staff on the latest cleaning techniques and safety protocols. Additionally, our team is fully insured, providing peace of mind to school administrators.
