The school cleaning problem

Schools and centres carry a lot of people in a small space. Hundreds of hands touch the same taps, rails and desks every day, and young children don't always wash them. When the toilets are left wet or the classroom bins are full at 8am, parents notice, teachers complain and sick days follow.

Cleaning has to fit the day, too. Contractors who arrive while classes are still running, or who change staff every few weeks, create problems for schools that need to know exactly who is on site and when.

Then there are the holidays. They're the only time to strip floors, steam carpets and clean properly behind furniture, but if nobody plans for them, the break passes and the work slips to next term.

How we work around your school or centre

  • Checked people.

    Our team members who work in schools and childcare hold Working with Children Checks (blue cards), and they follow your sign-in and visitor rules every visit.

  • After the bell.

    Classroom cleans start once students have left, with toilets and high-touch areas done before the next morning. Centres are cleaned after the last pick-up.

  • A consistent crew.

    Your staff get to know the same cleaners, and the cleaners learn your rooms, your keys and your alarm process.

  • A plan for every break.

    We agree a holiday program with you each year so deep cleans and floor work are booked well before the term ends.

Gold Coast schools: what we plan for

The coast's northern growth corridor around Coomera, Pimpama and Ormeau has seen new schools and a steady stream of childcare centres open alongside new estates, while established campuses sit in Southport, Robina, Burleigh and Elanora. Queensland's four-term calendar gives us short breaks around Easter, mid-year and in spring, then a long one over Christmas, and we plan the heavy work for each. Sand comes in from the beach and the playground, and humid summers make toilet blocks and change rooms harder to keep fresh. Storms bring wet shoes and muddy corridors, so entries get extra attention in the wet months.
