This is infection control
One bad week and half the room is out
Schools and childcare facilities have a cleaning problem other buildings do not: the occupants touch everything, touch each other, and have immune systems that are still learning. Illness moves through these buildings quickly, and cleaning is one of the few levers available to slow it down.
The instinctive response to an outbreak is a deeper clean. The effective response is a more frequent one. A surface disinfected properly at eight in the morning has been touched by thirty children by lunchtime, so what matters is how often high-touch surfaces are treated, not how hard they are scrubbed on a single visit.
That changes how the scope is built. Frequencies are set by touch rather than by area, and they include the set that general cleaning consistently misses: door hardware at child height as well as adult height, chair backs, table edges, and shared equipment surfaces.
What is included
What school and daycare cleaning covers
Every scope is built for the specific building. These are the areas most schools & daycares plans cover, with frequencies set during the walkthrough.
High-touch disinfection at both heights
Door handles, push plates, switches, railings, and shared surfaces at adult and child height. The child-height set is the one general cleaning misses.
Restrooms and changing areas
Fixtures at child scale, floors, and touchpoints disinfected at a frequency matched to age group, since younger cohorts need considerably more.
Play areas and equipment surfaces
Mats, soft-play surfaces where appropriate, and equipment exteriors within scope, using methods that will not damage the surfaces or leave residue.
Break-period deep cleaning
Full detail cleans during holidays, summer, and closure periods, when floors, carpets, and hard-to-reach surfaces can be properly reset.
Staff and administrative areas
Offices, staff rooms, and reception cleaned to a standard appropriate for the adults using them and the parents who see them.
How we approach it
Products, and the break periods that do the heavy work
Product choice is specific in a space occupied by children. Anything used has to be appropriate for that use, applied with correct contact times, and handled so residue is not left on surfaces small hands will touch. This is an area where a general commercial approach is genuinely unsuitable rather than merely imperfect.
Break periods do the other half of the work. Holidays, summer and closure days are when carpets can be extracted, floors refinished, and accumulated detail reset properly, because the building is finally empty and the work will hold.
During an outbreak we increase frequency on high-touch surfaces and restrooms for a defined period rather than performing one dramatic deep clean. Sustained frequency is what interrupts transmission.
Getting started
How we set up service
Four steps, no long sales process. Most schools & daycares clients go from first call to first service inside a couple of weeks.
Check AvailabilityWalkthrough of your facility
We walk the building with you and note what matters: traffic patterns, flooring, access requirements, and what a previous cleaner kept missing.
Written scope and schedule
What is cleaned, how often, and when, in writing. The schedule is set around your hours rather than ours.
Start-up clean if needed
If the building has been under-served, a one-time detail clean sets the baseline so the recurring scope holds a standard rather than chasing a backlog.
Ongoing service and quality checks
The same crew works your building. We run checks on our own schedule rather than waiting for a complaint.
Pricing
What affects the cost
School and childcare pricing is driven by the number of classrooms and restrooms and by the age group, since younger cohorts need markedly higher disinfection frequency. Break-period deep cleans are normally quoted separately from the recurring schedule.
What moves the price
Restroom count and square footage, which drive most of the labor time
Visit frequency, from twice a week through to daily service
Flooring mix, since hard floor and carpet care need different equipment
How heavily the space is used, and whether it is public-facing
Add-ons such as consumables, interior glass, or periodic deep cleaning
We quote after walking the building rather than over the phone. A scope guessed from a square-footage figure is the usual reason a cleaning price changes three months in.
Common questions
Schools & Daycares cleaning FAQs
What products do you use around children?
Products appropriate for occupied children's spaces, applied with correct contact times and handled so residue is not left on surfaces children touch. Specific product requirements from your licensing or policies are written into the scope.
Can you clean while children are present?
Core cleaning is scheduled outside operating hours. Where daytime attention is needed, such as restroom checks, it is done around the group's routine and away from children.
How do you handle an illness outbreak?
Increased frequency on high-touch surfaces and restrooms for a defined period, agreed with you. Sustained frequency is what interrupts transmission, not a single deep clean.
Do you do deep cleans during school breaks?
Yes, and breaks are the right window for it. Carpet extraction, floor refinishing, and full detail work happen during holidays, summer, or closure days when the building is empty.
Are your crews background checked?
Yes. Crews working in schools and childcare facilities are screened, and stay consistent for the facility rather than rotating.
