How Might A Janitorial Company Support Your School in Canada?

How Might A Janitorial Company Support Your School in Canada?

Educational institutions of all kinds, from preschools to universities, strive to maintain a clean environment for students, teachers, visitors, and staff. With so many spaces to keep clean, a school’s on-site custodians may benefit from some additional support.

An outsourced commercial cleaning company can be an excellent asset to school custodial teams. Commercial cleaning companies in Canada can provide highly specialized services on a customized schedule, based on the school’s needs.

Here are four ways a commercial cleaning company might ally with your school in Canada to ensure a professional clean:

  1. Clear communications surrounding budget and expectations.
    Managing a school budget often requires balance and close attention to detail to ensure that every dollar is spent wisely. Administrative personnel at school’s may seek to understand exactly what they are paying for and require clear expectations to ensure that all criteria are being met, especially when paying for services.

    Commercial cleaning companies can work directly with schools in Canada to develop custom quotes and checklists that match the school’s needs and expectations. A commercial cleaning company can also coordinate with the school’s in-house cleaning staff to ensure clear expectations and division of labor. This attention to detail allows schools to allocate resources with confidence, knowing that their criteria have been communicated and incorporated into the commercial cleaning plan.

  2. Highly customized schedules.
    Thanks to holiday breaks, after-school activities, and other variables, every school schedule is unique, and every school’s in-house cleaning staff may need a different level of outside support. A commercial cleaning company can work closely with the school’s facility management team to develop a custom schedule that meets their exact needs. This can range from commercial cleaning services five days a week to day porter services to support in-house cleaning staff.

    A commercial cleaning company can also accommodate the school’s calendar when scheduling specialty services. Commercial floor care and window cleaning services can be scheduled during holiday breaks so as not to disrupt the learning environment.

  3. Electrostatic and high-touch point disinfection services.
    Throughout the school day, teachers and students may work very closely together. Even if everyone has excellent hand washing and hygiene habits, schools may take additional precautions to prevent the spread of germs, especially during cold and flu season. This may be especially true for schools with very young students.

    A commercial cleaning company may have the equipment and training needed to provide disinfection services throughout the building. This may include high-touch point and electrostatic disinfection, depending on the space and the needs of the school. Disinfection services may help mitigate the spread of germs, supporting the health and wellness of students, teachers, and staff members.

  4. Memorable impressions.

    A parent touring a school for the first time is likely to pay close attention to detail when deciding whether to enroll their child. Clean surfaces and a professional appearance can go a long way toward putting parents and prospective students at ease during these visits.

    A commercial cleaning company can help make a good impression on prospective families. They can work closely with the school’s in-house cleaning staff to ensure that all areas are accounted for.
