School Cleaning in Philadelphia
Every school day, students and staff touch the same doors and light switches and walk the same hallways. For administrators and facilities staff, our school cleaning in Philadelphia keeps classrooms and hallways clean on a weekly or monthly schedule. Along with regular cleaning, we take care of disinfection and the small repairs that pile up during a school year.
What Does School Cleaning Include?
School cleaning with us includes disinfecting high-touch surfaces, cleaning glass and sinks, and caring for floors with vacuuming, mopping, and waxing. We start with the surfaces students and staff share most, like door handles, light switches, and paper towel holders.
Then we dust shelves, wash first-floor windows inside and out, and finish with the floors. You choose weekly or monthly visits, and we fit them around the school calendar.
Room by Room: Our School Janitorial Services
Classroom Cleaning
Classrooms pick up fingerprints on doors and glass, dust on shelves, and dirt on the floor by the end of each week. We disinfect doorknobs and light switches, dust the shelves, clean glass surfaces, and vacuum or mop depending on whether the room has carpet or hard flooring.
Hallways and Entrances
Hallways and entrances carry the heaviest foot traffic in the building. We mop hard floors and vacuum carpeted areas. For carpeted entry areas that look gray and worn, carpet extraction cleans down into the fibers. Light power washing clears the sidewalk where students gather before the bell.
School Disinfection
When RSV, the flu, or COVID-19 starts going around, the shared surfaces in a school deserve extra attention. Our BioClean Disinfection service uses only EPA-approved disinfectants listed under the Emerging Pathogen Standard program. Following EPA guidelines, we choose products likely effective against those illnesses and a broad range of other pathogens. No product can promise to remove every virus, so our crew is thorough with doorknobs, light switches, and the other places hands land most.
Floor Care
Hard floors in a school lose their finish fast under daily foot traffic. Stripping, sealing, and waxing restores the protective layer that daily mopping can't replace. We handle hallways, classrooms, and offices with hard floors.
Sinks and Dispensers
We clean sinks and paper towel holders on every visit, and we can install new soap and hand sanitizer dispensers where classrooms need them.
The Team Behind Your School Cleaning
Our team's experience in cleaning and sanitizing runs past 20 years. We're completely certified (Proper PPE, GBAC and OSHA) and can handle blood and pathogen cleanup, which matters when a student gets hurt or sick at school. We build a personalized plan around how your building is used. One client, Gina Gardyasz, wrote, "Dominic is personable and dependable."
Many schools also have an administration office, and our office building cleaning uses the same checklist there. For a closer look at our disinfection steps, see how we disinfect medical offices. Both sit within our commercial cleaning services for Philadelphia businesses.

What School Administrators Ask Us
How often should a school be cleaned?
We offer weekly and monthly plans. A building with students in it every weekday usually needs weekly visits to keep high-touch surfaces and floors under control. Deeper jobs like floor waxing or carpet extraction can happen less often, such as once a break.
Can you clean on Saturdays?
Yes. We work Monday through Saturday from 9:00 AM to 6:00 PM and are closed Sundays. Saturday visits let us work without students in the hallways.
Can you handle cleanup after a student is injured or sick?
Yes. We're completely certified (Proper PPE, GBAC and OSHA) and can handle blood and pathogen cleanup. Call (267) 397-0951 with the location, and we'll explain how we'll handle it.
When is the best time to refinish school floors?
A break, when the building is empty for several days, gives a fresh wax coat time to set without foot traffic. We strip, seal, and wax hallway and classroom floors, so plan the work around your school calendar.
Can you hang whiteboards or replace ceiling tiles?
Yes. Our handyman services cover both, along with fixing doors that stick or rub and hanging cabinets and shelves. Tell us what needs fixing when you book, and we'll plan the time for it.
