The school cleaning problem

Few buildings are used as intensely as a school or an early learning centre. Every tap, bubbler, door handle and desk is handled by dozens of children a day, and the youngest put their fingers in their mouths a moment later. A missed clean is noticed quickly, often by a parent at the gate.

Business managers, principals and centre directors have another question to answer: who is in the building after dark? Families and staff expect the people cleaning classrooms to be checked, consistent and supervised, not a different stranger each fortnight.

Then the calendar gets in the way. Holiday breaks are the only time for proper floor, carpet and window work. Leave the planning too late and the job slips into next term, with children back in the rooms.

What's included in school and childcare cleaning

Regular cleaning

  • Classrooms and learning spaces: desks, benches, sinks, whiteboard ledges and floors
  • Student, staff and accessible toilets sanitised and restocked
  • Touch points: door handles, switches, taps, bubblers and stair rails
  • Early learning rooms, nappy change areas and low surfaces little hands reach
  • Libraries, undercover areas, halls and administration offices
  • Corridors and entries swept, vacuumed and mopped
  • Bins and recycling taken to the collection area

Periodic and specialist cleaning

  • Full room deep cleans during school holidays
  • Carpet steam cleaning and hard-floor scrubbing
  • Internal and ground-level external glass, including louvres
  • High dusting of fans, vents and light fittings
  • Chairs, desk frames and under-desk areas detailed
  • Clean-ups after assemblies, carnivals, concerts and open nights
  • Handover cleans for new classrooms or refurbished buildings

How we work around your school or centre

  • Outside the school day.

    Most cleaning happens once students have left, or early before the gates open. Childcare centres with long hours get cleans timed around opening and closing.

  • Checked and familiar people.

    Our staff in schools and childcare hold Working with Children Checks, and we keep the same team on your site so staff and families recognise them.

  • Planned against the school year.

    Term-time and holiday work are scoped separately, so deep cleans are booked before each break starts.

  • Careful around children.

    Chemicals are kept locked away, trolleys stay with the cleaner, and wet floors are always marked.

Perth schools: what we plan for

Perth sits on sandy coastal soil, and that sand travels. It comes in on shoes from ovals, nature play areas and sandpits every single day, so entry mats, classroom floors and toilet blocks need steady attention all year. Term 1 starts in the heat of early February, when dust and sand blow in through open doors. Winter brings the opposite: rain fronts between June and August, and wet, muddy corridors. The long break from mid-December to late January is the best time for floor and carpet work, and those weeks book out fast. We also plan cover for schools and centres in the growth corridors, from Alkimos and Ellenbrook to Baldivis and Byford.

FAQs

It comes down to the site.
