How Office Pride Teams Design Custom Cleaning Plans for Schools

The school year brings the excitement of old friends, new experiences … and unfortunately, messy and unsanitary surfaces. Students and staff might not prepare to go back to school until August, but smart administrators know that now is a prime time to develop custom cleaning plans for schools, ensuring everything from the hallways to the desktops and restrooms promotes a safe and healthy learning environment.

A regular school cleaning schedule and a checklist for cleaning and maintenance are essential for setting a professional and welcoming tone for students, teachers, school employees and visitors. Any school’s janitorial staff handles the unsung daily tasks of sweeping and mopping floors, disposing of trash, sanitizing bathrooms and more. Yet arranging for commercial cleaning services before the first day of school and throughout the year helps reduce the spread of germs and boost everyone’s well-being.

School Cleaning Services

Office Pride Commercial Cleaning offers customizable professional cleaning services to supplement your regular janitorial services. For instance, we can handle deep cleaning of classrooms and common areas, such as:

• Carpet cleaning in the front offices and the library
• Sanitizing sports facilities, including locker rooms, wiping down mirrors, lockers, and benches
• Cleaning and dusting light fixtures
• Disinfecting outdoor areas and equipment, such as the jungle gym
• Wiping down desks, cafeteria tables, door handles, light switches and other often-touched surfaces.

A professional cleaning service can give your school premises that extra gleam, whether it’s ensuring a fresh, clean and safe space before the school year and after breaks, refreshing the gymnasium before a championship game or reviving the multipurpose room before a play or concert.

A School Cleaning Checklist

It’s tough to feel like you’re promoting a healthy learning environment when there’s a sticky spot on a desk, a stain on a cafeteria table, graffiti on a locker or chewing gum on a sign. While your needs might vary depending on school size and educational level, a professional weekly cleaning, monthly cleaning or customized cleaning adds to the comfortable, nurturing atmosphere all schools should have.

Case studies show that, much like homework reinforces lessons and study habits, developing cleaning checklists helps school administrators allocate resources effectively and feel confident in their school’s mission and message. Pressure washing the outside of main buildings and any portables a few times a year shows you give the rest of your school campus the same care as the lawn.

A comprehensive cleaning routine also doesn’t have to be distracting or expensive, either. Green cleaning solutions use nontoxic and environmentally friendly agents without harsh aromas or irritants that can bother people with allergies. Microfiber mops and vacuum cleaners with HEPA filters further reduce allergens and keep germs from spreading across the campus.

Keeping the right tools and supplies on hand also helps your regular janitorial services meet their cleaning checklist. A professional cleaning company can provide insight on new materials and up-to-date cleaning methods.

Schools help foster an attitude of healthy learning, but they need the proper care to do that. Contact a professional Office Pride Commercial Cleaning Services location today to learn more about how cleaning your school helps build a safe and healthy space for students and staff.
