Daycare, school and college cleaning services in Metro Detroit

Schools are cleaned when no one's there. Once school is dismissed and after-school activities let out, custodial crews empty trash cans, clean bathrooms, wipe down desks and door knobs, vacuum and mop classrooms and sweep and mop hallways so that everything will be nice and tidy for the next morning. Gyms, cafeterias and libraries each receive individual attention.

But flu season, from fall through early spring, shifts the emphasis. Germs spread rapidly through a classroom when someone is sick. During those months, high-touch surfaces such as desks, door handles, light switches, railings, faucets and drinking fountains are cleaned and disinfected more often. Disinfectants are used as directed on the labels. Our guide on how to disinfect a school explains the difference between cleaning, sanitizing and disinfecting.

Daycares require the same services with smaller hands considered. Toddlers grab at everything so the products utilized and storage locations are important. We clean floors, bathrooms and rooms after children depart for the day, utilize products approved by your center and leave nothing within reach. Toys, cribs and food prep areas covered by your licensing regulations stay with your staff.

Our modern equipment allows crews to use fewer chemicals, which is another principle of green cleaning in commercial buildings. Nurseries and classrooms in churches and other places of worship are treated like daycares.

Floors are rebuilt in the summer. When there's nobody in the building, floors in classrooms and hallways can be stripped and refinished, carpets extracted and windows washed, so when students return in the fall everything looks new. Michigan winters make that summer work necessary. Salt gets tracked into every entrance all winter, wearing down floor finish.
