What school cleaning includes
- Classrooms, corridors, halls and office areas
- Bathroom and toilet sanitation
- Staffroom and kitchen cleaning
- Floor cleaning, including hard floors and carpet vacuuming
- High-touch surfaces such as door handles, switches and taps
- Bins emptied and the site left ready for the next school day
Scope is agreed in writing after a site inspection, so your school pays for the areas and frequency it actually needs.
Scheduling around the school year
Education sites have different needs on school days and in the holidays. We plan the schedule with you, including routine cleaning during term and larger cleans during breaks. Tell us your term dates and any access restrictions at the inspection and we build them into the quote.
Care for the people on site
- Approved personnel: staff are approved by the site manager before they are deployed
- Confidentiality: client-sensitive information is kept strictly confidential
- Safer products: professional cleaning products used with training for each site
Cleaning, grounds care and pest control together
Many of our education contracts combine cleaning with landscaping or pest control. Grounds care covers lawn mowing and edging, pruning and irrigation. Pest control includes rodent, cockroach and crawling and flying insect treatment with regular site inspections. One provider means fewer contracts for the school to manage.
Typical tasks by area
| Area | Typical tasks |

School offices and admin blocks follow the same standards as our office cleaning in Auckland.
Keeping a healthy site
Regular cleaning of bathrooms, kitchens and shared surfaces helps reduce the spread of germs among large groups of students and staff. Our structured checklists make sure the same areas are covered every visit, and reporting lets the school check the work against the agreed scope.
Term starts and holiday cleans
The weeks before term begin are the best time for a thorough reset of classrooms, floors and bathrooms. During holidays we can schedule deeper work such as floor care without disrupting lessons. Discuss your calendar with us early so the work is planned, quoted and ready before students return.
Contracts and reporting
We report against the agreed scope at the interval you choose, from weekly to annual, so principals and property managers can see what has been done. Our recent education work includes multi-year contracts; see our projects page.
