A clean school is essential to student success. From reducing the spread of illness to creating a positive learning environment, educational facility cleaning directly impacts health, performance and attendance. With a high level of activity between students, staff and visitors passing through each day, schools require more than surface-level tidying—they need a structured, professional cleaning plan like the tailored programs offered by Coverall^® to stay operational.

With the right tools, planning and support from a trusted commercial cleaning provider, schools – from daycare centers to universities – can maintain safe, healthy and productive environments for everyone.

Why Educational Facility Cleaning is Important

Keeping up with cleaning demands within a school setting is difficult without professional help.

Administrators who are committed to providing a clean, healthy and safe environment are turning to commercial cleaning companies that specialize in school cleaning services, ensuring daily sanitation and deep cleaning are handled with expertise and consistency.

Daily Classroom Cleaning Checklist

A clean classroom supports focus and health. Coverall’s trained Franchise Business Owners follow our Health-Based Cleaning System^® that eliminates the maximum amount of dirt and germs. Their school cleaning checklist includes a thorough cleaning of high-traffic and frequently touched areas that include: 

• Classroom desks, chairs and tables
• Door handles, drawer pulls and light switches
• Bookshelves
• Restroom fixtures, sinks and dispensers
• Floors: vacuumed and mopped daily
• Lounges and Administrative offices: cleaned to help reduce the spread of germs
• Cafeteria tables and chairs 

Effective Classroom Cleaning Procedures

To reduce germs and allergens, classroom cleaning procedures should use CDC and AORN-recommended products and techniques. Coverall’s proprietary Core 4^® Cleaning Process is a proven commercial cleaning system built on these guidelines and includes:

• Hospital-grade disinfectants (kill 99.9% of germs)
• Color-coded microfiber cloths (to reduce cross-contamination)
• No-dip flat mops (clean without reusing dirty water)
• HEPA vacuums (capture 99% of airborne particles)

Preventative Maintenance Cleaning Protects Your School’s Assets

Preventative Maintenance Cleaning Services goes beyond everyday tasks to target the surfaces and materials that often bear the brunt of school traffic. Carpets, hard floors, windows and upholstered furniture are high-use areas that can trap dirt, harbor allergens and show wear quickly if not properly maintained. Regular professional attention to these surfaces helps keep them clean and odor-free—while also extending their lifespan. By incorporating Preventative Maintenance Cleaning Services into their commercial cleaning routine, schools can help protect the long-term value of their facilities and furnishings.

Smart Hygiene Habits That Support Clean Schools

Even with regular professional cleaning, maintaining a healthy school requires a team effort. Encourage these habits among staff and students:

• Keep disinfectant wipes available for shared surfaces
• Install touchless trash bins, faucets and dispensers
• Encourage sick individuals to stay home until fully recovered

These simple practices help maintain cleanliness between scheduled commercial cleaning service visits.
