Intro:
Scope is built around your site, enrolment size and how each space is used. Below is the framework we work from.
Classrooms and Learning Spaces
Desks, tables and chairs wiped and sanitised. Whiteboards, ledges and marker trays cleaned. Shelving, benches and storage surfaces dusted. Door handles, light switches and window latches disinfected. Floors vacuumed or mopped. Bins emptied and liners replaced. Reading corners, mats and soft furnishings vacuumed.
Early Learning and Childcare Rooms
Extra attention to floor level surfaces, since this is where children actually spend their time. Play tables, activity mats, low shelving, toy storage and cot or rest areas cleaned and sanitised. Nappy change areas disinfected thoroughly. High chairs, sinks and bottle preparation surfaces cleaned. Product selection is safe for close contact and low sensory impact.
Washrooms and Amenities
Toilets, urinals, cubicles and basins sanitised inside and out. Taps, dispensers, partitions and door handles disinfected. Mirrors cleaned streak free. Floors mopped with disinfectant. Consumables restocked including soap, paper towel and toilet paper where included in your contract. Student washrooms need frequency above everything else, and we build that into the schedule rather than treating it as a daily tick box.
Canteens, Kitchens and Food Areas
Benchtops, sinks, splashbacks and servery counters cleaned and sanitised. Appliance exteriors wiped. Dining tables and seating cleaned. Floors degreased and mopped. Bin areas washed and disinfected. Food handling areas cleaned to a standard appropriate for canteen operation.
Halls, Gymnasiums and Performance Spaces
Hall floors swept, mopped or machine cleaned depending on surface. Gym flooring cleaned with products that maintain slip resistance. Seating, staging and equipment storage areas cleaned. Scheduled around assemblies, sport and events.
Libraries, Computer Rooms and Specialist Areas
Shelving and study surfaces dusted. Keyboards, mice and shared devices sanitised. Science labs, art rooms and workshop spaces cleaned with attention to benches, sinks and material residue. Floors vacuumed or mopped.
Staff Rooms and Administration
Kitchen benches, sinks, appliance exteriors and tables cleaned. Desks, reception counters and shared workstations sanitised. Meeting rooms cleaned. Bins emptied. Floors vacuumed or mopped.
Corridors, Stairwells and Entry Areas
Handrails, door plates and touch points disinfected. Corridors and stairwells swept and mopped. Entry mats vacuumed and entry glass detailed. Lockers wiped externally. Cobwebs removed.
Outdoor and Covered Areas
Covered walkways, undercover eating areas and entry paths swept. Outdoor seating and tables wiped. Play area hard surfaces swept. External bin areas cleaned.

Classrooms, halls, canteens, washrooms, libraries, staff areas and grounds cleaned daily after hours, with deeper work scheduled into term breaks.
The highest hygiene requirement of any education setting, given the age group and how much contact happens at floor level. Cleaned nightly with sanitising of all contact surfaces.
Shared spaces cleaned around extended operating hours, often requiring later start times than a standard school clean.
Presentation standards matter alongside hygiene, particularly in reception, boarding facilities and areas prospective families see. Scope reflects both.
Lecture theatres, tutorial rooms, computer labs, common areas, amenities and administration cleaned around timetables and extended campus hours.
Bedrooms, common rooms, shared kitchens, bathrooms and laundries cleaned on a schedule that suits residential use rather than classroom use.
Cleaned with attention to accessibility equipment, sensory considerations, product selection and consistency of routine, which matters to students more than most sites realise.
Post construction cleaning before students return, including builders dust removal and full detail cleaning. See our Construction Cleaning page.
School holiday periods fill quickly. Send us your site size and requirements and we'll lock in dates before the calendar closes.
High Touch Point Priority
Door handles, light switches, handrails, taps, desk edges, shared devices and sports equipment are cleaned every visit. These carry the highest transmission risk in any school and are the easiest surfaces to skip.
Low Toxicity Product Selection
Products chosen for effectiveness without harsh residue or strong fragrance, which matters for asthma, allergies and sensory sensitivities that are common across any student population.
Colour Coded Equipment
Separate cloths and mops for washrooms, classrooms, kitchens and general areas, so contamination is never carried from a toilet block into a classroom.
After Hours Only Around Students
Cleaning happens once students have left. No chemicals, cords, wet floors or equipment are ever in a space occupied by children.
Correct Chemical Storage
Products stored securely and never left accessible on site. This is a straightforward requirement that gets breached surprisingly often, and we treat it as non negotiable.
Illness Response Cleaning
Where a site experiences a gastro outbreak, flu spike or similar event, we can escalate to enhanced sanitising of contact surfaces at short notice.
Standards that fade by week six create real problems in a school. We conduct periodic quality inspections and act on findings rather than filing them.
Daily cleaning during term, deeper programs during holidays, and flexibility around events, exams, sport and community use of facilities.
Our teams work around lost property, classroom setups teachers have deliberately left in place, and displays that should not be disturbed. Small things, but they are what schools notice.
A direct number and someone who knows your site, rather than a different answer from a call centre each time a business manager calls.
A written scope listing every area, task and frequency with a fixed figure attached. Additional work is quoted and approved before it happens.
Schools with several campuses or providers with multiple centres run under one agreement, one contact and consolidated invoicing.
Call 0452 158 004 or submit the form with your facility type, enrolment size and approximate building area. For larger sites we attend and walk the campus so the quote reflects actual conditions.
You receive a documented scope covering every area, task and frequency, separated into daily term time cleaning and periodic or holiday work.
Access arrangements, alarm codes, key handling, restricted areas and site requirements are confirmed before the first shift. Assigned cleaners are briefed on your site specifically.
Cleaning runs to schedule with periodic inspections. Scope is reviewed at term breaks and adjusted as enrolments, buildings or usage change
