Benefits of Daily School Cleaning
Investing in daily school cleaning brings a range of practical, financial, and well-being benefits for your school community:
- Cost-Efficiency: While outsourcing may seem more expensive upfront, it’s often more economical long term. An external provider covers all staffing, training, equipment, and supply costs in a single fixed fee, removing the overhead and admin of managing an in-house team.
- Specialist Expertise: Professional school cleaning companies bring proven experience and specialist knowledge, particularly those familiar with the unique requirements of schools and educational settings. This ensures a higher standard of hygiene and compliance.
- Time-Saving: Daily cleaning managed by a trusted provider allows your internal team to focus on core priorities. No more handling rotas, managing stock levels, or covering last-minute staff absences, we take care of it all.
- Health & Safety Compliance: Reputable cleaning contractors invest in staff training, risk assessments, and up-to-date health and safety protocols. This not only ensures a consistently safe and hygienic environment but also ensures your school is compliant with legal obligations.
- Enhanced School Reputation: As well as having a clean school environment for students and staff, the cleanliness of the education environment will enhance the overall reputation of the school, as well as the parental perception of the school that their children are attending.
Daily cleaning contributes to a cleaner, safer, and more efficient learning environment, helping reduce illness, improve presentation, and create a space everyone can take pride in.

“
We have worked with CleanTEC for nearly 3 years and the relationship between the school and the company has always been a positive and supportive one. The level of support given by the area management team has always been very good, they have supported and dealt with any issues if and when they have arisen. CleanTEC are a good company to work with and I would have no reservations in recommending them to colleagues in other schools”
