Keep Your School Clean with Rapid Commercial Cleaning Services: 4 Key Benefits of a Clean School

Suzanne Whitton • September 5, 2022

With summer coming to an end, students and teachers everywhere are gearing up for the upcoming academic year. It’s a time of reflections and new beginnings for many, so it’s worth considering whether your school environment is being maintained to the highest of standards.

Here are 4 ways in which Rapid Clean would benefit your school:

1. You Won't Find a School Cleaning Service More Flexible


What we’ve learned from 20+ years of cleaning the education sector is that, much like its students, each school has a different set of needs. This is why we aim to be as flexible as possible, catering to a variety of schedules and academic calendars in order to make sure your school’s requirements are met to the highest of standards.


We’ve found this approach to be particularly beneficial throughout the pandemic, as every school in the country had a large question mark looming over their reopening schedule. This reinforced why Rapid Clean provides a range of different contracts, such as 39-week term-time only contracts, term-time plus deep cleans or full 52-week contracts.


2. Maintain Good Health, Hygiene & Safety Standards with Rapid School Cleaning


Schools are notorious for the spread of viruses and infections, from the common cold to the stomach bug–you name it, they’ve had it. This is why maintaining the hygiene standards in your school environment is so important, encouraging the health and wellbeing of both students and staff.


Not only do we perform highly thorough
school cleans, but we ensure that safeguarding standards are adhered to by obtaining an Enhanced DBS (Disclosure Barring Service) where necessary. We understand the timescales involved in this process due to our extensive experience in the education sector and plan appropriately in order to fit your school’s schedule. On occasion we apply a 'buddying system' (someone with a DBS works alongside the person without) whilst we wait for the return of documents so as not to hold up the start date.


3. Rapid Clean has a Wealth of Experience in School Cleaning


With the education sector making up around one third of our entire client base, we’re no stranger to providing exceptional cleaning services to schools and colleges. Our knowledge and experience of the sector is what makes us stand out, as we pride ourselves on working hard with your institution in order to deliver a top-tier service.


We value school cleaning so highly that we even recently appointed one of our
contract managers, Anna Dabal, as our Education Specialist, utilising her experience in the sector to oversee all school cleaning. In doing so, we’ve put an extra measure in place to make sure Rapid Clean’s school cleaning services meet the highest of standards.


4. Rapid Clean Values Continual Improvement


Like any school, we value growth and self-development as a philosophy. This is why we work closely with all clients and encourage regular feedback, ensuring that we continue to deliver a great service and are meeting your institution’s specific needs.


We also encourage our committed cleaning operatives to continuously develop. By making them feel valued, providing regular feedback & training and holding our Rapid Superstar Awards each quarter, we regularly reward their ongoing hard work. In doing so, we continue to grow and improve as the years go on; providing
exceptional cleaning services for each and every school we work with. 


At Rapid Clean, we’re proud to say that the education sector makes up over 30% of our customer base. This is due to the fact that our highly-trained staff are not only thorough, but incredibly flexible to the academic calendar.
