Our Approach
First, we implement strict training and cleaning procedures, covering every aspect of our cleaning regime, with a focus on safe working, manual handling, COSHH, and health & safety compliance. Next, we get to work! We follow a top-down cleaning method in classrooms, starting with high-level dusting, followed by lower dusting, surface disinfection, bin cleaning, and finishing with vacuuming and mopping floors. Special attention is given to toilets and dining areas.
Frequently Asked Questions
Are all your staff DBS checked for school environments?
Yes. All team members working in schools, nurseries, colleges, or any setting involving children or vulnerable adults are DBS Enhanced checked before they start. Copies of DBS certificates are available for inspection upon request. We treat safeguarding as non-negotiable.
What cleaning standards do you work to in schools?
We follow a rigorous top-down cleaning methodology: high-level dusting, surface disinfection, bin cleaning, vacuuming, and mopping - with special attention to toilets, changing areas, and dining rooms. We use colour-coded equipment to prevent cross-contamination and work to NHS-aligned hygiene standards where relevant.
When do you clean — during term time or school holidays?
Typically we clean outside of school hours - in the evening after pupils leave. This means your classrooms start the day spotless. We can also provide deep cleans and sparkle cleans during holiday periods. We are flexible around your school calendar.
Do you carry public liability insurance?
Yes. We hold full public liability insurance, and our employers' liability insurance is also in place. Documentation is available on request. We are also CHAS Elite accredited, which means our health and safety practices have been independently verified.
What cleaning products do you use?
We use eco-friendly, plant based products that are safe to use in school environments. They are kind to the people in your building and to the planet, while still delivering a thorough, hygienic clean. Choosing gentler products helps protect pupils and staff, including anyone with allergies or sensitivities, without any compromise on standards.
Can cleaning be scheduled around term times?
Yes. Most of our cleaning runs on a term time basis to match the school calendar. During the holidays we can also take care of deep cleans and any ad-hoc tasks you need, so your premises stay in excellent condition all year round.
