School & Nursery Cleaning
Professional cleaning services for schools
Trustworthy and reliable school cleaning so that you can focus on running your school. Spotless has been working with educational establishments for many years and we understand that managing cleaning in-house is extremely difficult alongside managing a school.
How does Spotless Cleaning help you to achieve excellence?
We are an independent business that prides itself on working with local businesses and offering an honest and reliable service. We understand how important it is to have a clean and sanitised educational setting where children are safe to learn. We work with many local schools and have a lot of hands-on experience in building contracts that work for you and your budget so please get in touch if you’d like to explore this with us.
Your Local Cleaning Team
We are not an agency, we recruit and employ all of our cleaning staff ourselves. This allows us to select the right candidates for the role and to keep travel to a minimum. By recruiting locally, we are being conscious of our environmental impact and offering more gainful employment to local people who live close to your school.
Flexible service
As well as schools, we work with a range of clients from a diverse background. Because of this we have learned to be completely flexible in how we work. Some of our clients require twice daily cleaning, others just once a week. And for a variety of reasons a lot of our clients need out of hours cleaning. Because of this we have adopted a totally flexible approach to how we work. We always advise simply calling us and talking us through what you need. We can then tailor our services to your specific requirements.
Out-of-Hours and School Holiday Deep Cleaning
The majority of our school contracts require an out-of-hours cleaning service. This usually commences after the school day has finished or early in the morning before the day begins. If our team is on-site when your children are still in school, we will conduct enhanced DBS checks for your peace of mind.
We can also offer deep cleaning during school holidays to ensure we stay on top of the detailed work throughout the school. This can also include commercial carpet cleaning and hard floor cleaning if needed. This is completely flexible and we work out a schedule that suits your needs and school budget when we set up your contract.
Strep A update:
Recently, there has been an increase in cases of Strep A and while most cases of Strep A are mild, some can be more serious. We want to help fight Strep A by preventing the spread at schools and nurseries, as these are often breeding grounds for such germs and bacteria. If not cleaned correctly, viruses and bacteria can spread at a rapid rate and in turn, cases will increase. This is why we have changed our cleaning products to a Virucidal disinfectant that envelops Strep A and kills 99.9% of bacteria, ensuring children are kept safe and infection free.

What are some key differences between cleaning in schools and cleaning in other environments?
Cleaning in schools can differ from cleaning in other environments due to the unique needs and considerations of educational settings. Schools have different areas that require attention, such as classrooms, libraries, dining halls, sports halls, toilets, and common areas. The cleaning tasks may involve sanitising surfaces, disinfecting high-touch areas, managing waste disposal, and maintaining cleanliness in educational materials and equipment.
What areas in schools require special attention during cleaning?
Several areas in schools require special attention during cleaning. These include classrooms, desks, chairs, door handles, light switches, computer keyboards, dining hall tables, toilets, gym equipment, library books, and shared learning resources. These areas often have high student traffic and require regular cleaning and disinfection to maintain hygiene.
How often should cleaning be performed in schools?
The frequency of cleaning in schools depends on several factors, such as the size of the school, the number of students, and the specific needs of the educational programs. Generally, daily cleaning of high-traffic areas and commonly used surfaces is recommended. Additionally, targeted cleaning and disinfection protocols may be necessary during times of increased illness outbreaks or pandemics.
