How does CLEANEY ensure compliance with Department of Education hygiene requirements?

CLEANEY follows Department of Education hygiene requirements and WHS obligations, using approved cleaning protocols and products. We document procedures and can provide records to demonstrate alignment with relevant Australian infection-control guidance such as NHMRC recommendations.

What areas are included in your standard school cleaning service?

Our standard service covers classrooms, corridors, staff rooms, toilets, changerooms and common areas, including dusting, vacuuming, mopping, bin emptying and sanitising high-touch points. Specific tasks can be tailored to your school's needs.

What is CLEANEY’s cleaning process and how do you manage infection control?

We use a risk-based cleaning schedule with colour-coded equipment to prevent cross-contamination, medically appropriate disinfectants, and targeted high-touch sanitisation. Processes align with Department guidance and WHS requirements, and we update protocols for outbreaks or seasonal risks.

How often should a school be cleaned and can you provide after-hours or weekend services?

Frequency depends on occupancy and risk: daily cleaning for classrooms and amenities is typical, with enhanced nightly or weekend deep cleans as required. CLEANEY offers flexible scheduling, including after-hours and weekend options to minimise disruption.

How is pricing determined and do you offer customised quotes for schools?

Pricing is based on school size, required frequency, scope of tasks and any specialist services like targeted disinfection. CLEANEY provides a customised written quote after a site assessment so you only pay for the services you need.

How can schools verify CLEANEY’s cleaning quality and performance?

We provide checklists, routine inspection reports, and can perform ATP swab testing on request for objective surface cleanliness verification. Schools may also schedule regular review meetings and request corrective actions where standards fall short.

School cleaning FAQs

Common questions

Do CLEANEY staff hold Working With Children Checks for school sites?

Yes. Every CLEANEY staff member placed on a school site holds a current Victorian Working With Children Check and has completed a national police check before assignment. Compliance records are maintained centrally and updated before any check lapses. Copies can be provided to your principal, WHS coordinator, or HR team on request, and are available for contractor compliance audits.

Can CLEANEY accommodate cleaning schedules that work around school hours and term dates?

Yes. CLEANEY builds cleaning schedules specifically around each school's operational calendar, including after-school and weekend attendance, modified schedules during examination periods and school events, and increased scope during term breaks for deep cleaning and floor treatments. Changes to the calendar for events, closures, or facility works are accommodated through direct communication with the account management team.

What cleaning products does CLEANEY use in school environments, and are they safe for children?

CLEANEY uses eco-certified, child-safe cleaning formulations across all school sites. Products are selected to avoid chemicals associated with respiratory irritation or skin sensitisation. Food preparation and canteen areas use food-safe rated products. Material Safety Data Sheets for all products used on your site are available on request and can be provided to your WHS officer or facilities team for records.

How does CLEANEY handle infectious illness outbreaks or elevated hygiene requirements?

CLEANEY has documented protocols for elevated hygiene scenarios including gastroenteritis outbreaks, respiratory illness circulation, and similar events. These protocols increase the frequency and intensity of surface disinfection using TGA-listed disinfectants, with particular focus on high-contact touchpoints. Our operations team can mobilise an adjusted service response quickly when your school notifies us of an elevated hygiene requirement, without requiring a separate engagement process.

Does CLEANEY offer holiday deep cleaning services for schools?

Yes. School holiday periods are the primary window for deep cleaning works that cannot be performed during term time, including hard floor strip-and-seal, carpet extraction cleaning, high-level dusting, gymnasium floor maintenance, and detailed cleaning of canteen and food preparation areas. CLEANEY coordinates these works with your facility manager to ensure completion before the school reopens, with scheduling confirmed well ahead of the holiday period.

Is there a lock-in contract for school cleaning services?

No. CLEANEY does not require lock-in contracts. The service relationship is maintained by consistent performance, not by contractual obligation that traps a dissatisfied client. Pricing is fixed for the agreed scope, invoicing is transparent, and if your facility's requirements change — due to building works, enrolment changes, or budget reviews — scope can be adjusted without penalty structures designed to discourage variation.

How does CLEANEY's quality control process work for school sites?

Each school site is assigned a dedicated quality control manager who conducts scheduled inspections and records results in a structured format. Reports are made available to your facility manager and document what was assessed, whether the standard was met, and what corrective action was taken where it was not. This provides an auditable performance record that can be used in procurement reviews, principal reporting, or Department of Education compliance contexts.
