Making the Grade! Contracting Commercial Cleaning Services for Schools and Public Campuses 

As a school administrator or facility manager, you live and thrive in an academic bubble. And we hate to burst it. However, hundreds–if not thousands–are inhabiting your institution daily. It may be summer, but it will not be long before your halls are clamoring with students and staff. 

Are you ready for the barrage? 

Have you thought about optimizing partnerships with cleaning services?

Sure, there are a few outfits in your geographic area. But teaming up with a white glove, professional commercial cleaning service is a hefty decision. Let’s face it; they’ve got to make the grade… going above and beyond requisite custodial duties. 

Because, in the end, you’ll want to retain a germ-free facility all year long. Here’s how to seek a partnership with “grade A” cleanliness standards.  

The Benefits of Optimizing Partnerships with Cleaning Services for Schools

Contracting professional commercial cleaning services for schools brings a multitude of benefits. First and foremost, it allows schools to leverage the expertise of hygienic specialists. By partnering with professionals, schools can ensure thorough cleaning practices and efficient use of resources. 

1. Clear Expectations and Communication

Establish roles, responsibilities, and communication channels with outsourced cleaning contractors. Both parties should clearly define the scope of work (i.e. the areas to be cleaned, the frequency of cleaning, and any specialized requirements). Regular meetings allow for prompt resolution of issues as well as adjustments to sanitation procedures and safety protocols. 

2. Efficient Scheduling and Coordination

Don’t live in a vacuum. A well-coordinated cleaning schedule should consider peak activity periods, such as lunch breaks or after-school events. Coordination ensures meticulous oversight while students and staff learn, teach, and study without disruption.   

3. Quality Assurance and Monitoring: Ensuring Quality Control Standards

Implementing measures regarding high cleaning standards is imperative. Regular inspections, conducted jointly by school administrators and cleaning contractors, help monitor the quality of cleaning services provided. These inspections can identify areas for improvement and provide valuable feedback to cleaning contractors, facilitating continuous enhancement of their services. Schools can consistently provide students and staff with a safe and healthy environment by prioritizing quality assurance.

4. Overcoming Challenges: Practical Solutions for Common Issues  

Schools often face common challenges: staffing, budget constraints, policies, and liabilities. By partnering with professional commercial cleaning services, schools can overcome these hurdles. Optimizing partnerships with cleaning services relieves:

• the burden on the custodial staff
• the confines of careless negligence or unlawful sanitary conditions
• the chances of sub-par work leading to property damages
• the incidence of shortfalls (i.e. failing to meet school safety mandates)
• the gap in maintaining high touch point zones (gyms, labs, and other high-traffic areas)
• the cost of worry knowing operations are seamless and second to none
