Why Cleanliness in Retail Matters More Than Ever
May 26, 2025
Health, focus, and safety start with deep cleaning.
In 2025, hygiene in schools and universities is more than a visual concern it’s a fundamental part of student wellbeing, safety, and learning performance. With hundreds or even thousands of students and staff sharing classrooms, cafeterias, and common areas daily, routine cleaning isn’t enough to keep up with the demands of modern health standards.
Research continues to show that clean environments improve focus, reduce absenteeism, and support mental wellbeing. While most schools have in-house cleaners managing daily tasks, deeper and more structured cleaning is essential to control the spread of bacteria and viruses.
High-traffic areas like hallways, toilets, cafeterias, and libraries are hotspots for germs. Professional cleaning services ensure these areas are properly sanitised using hospital-grade products and industry-approved methods something not all in-house teams are equipped to do alone.

Not all commercial cleaning providers understand the nuances of educational environments. When selecting a team for your school, consider:
Experience in Education:
Look for cleaners who have worked in primary, secondary, or tertiary institutions. They’ll better understand the schedules, privacy requirements, and expectations of a school environment.
Health & Safety Compliance:
From PPE to safe chemical use, a reliable team should follow strict health protocols and keep detailed logs of their work.
Flexible Services:
Different age groups and school zones require different levels of attention. Kindergartens, for example, need extra care. Your provider should adapt their service to each space.
Full-Service Options:
From pest control and waste management to window cleaning and garden care, a good provider offers comprehensive services so you can manage everything in one place.
Keeping a school clean isn’t a one-time job, it’s a long-term commitment. And the benefits go beyond health.
