Back to School with Rapid Clean

Before a Summer Deep Clean

We encourage all of our education sector customers to opt for a 'term time plus deep cleans' contract, giving them the flexibility to choose how many equivalent weeks of deep cleaning they would like, and when to use it. The deep clean is our opportunity to get schools back to the level of cleanliness we expect, and the staff and pupils deserve.


After a very long term, the summer holidays is a popular time for deep cleans to be carried out. Our operations team ensure that all sites have a convenient slot booked into the calendar, and a comprehensive, tailored, deep cleaning schedule printed out for the cleaning team to refer to.

As well as the usual daily cleaning tasks, a deep clean involves moving all furniture on wheels, carpet cleaning, buffing and polishing of floors, removing marks on the walls, sanitising toilet partitions and appliances, high level dusting (where we can), and the list goes on!


After a Summer Deep Clean

Under the guide of our education specialist, Anna Dabal, our operations team has been working their socks off this summer to ensure that all schools are ready for 'back to school' week. We wanted to share some fantastic results!

Some of our customers kindly sent us feedback upon their return to school:


"The school looked very clean when I arrived today. Thank you for arranging."


"The school looks and feels clean, refreshed and ready for the new school year."


"This is easily the best deep clean I've had since joining the school 4 years ago!"


"We are really happy with the deep clean, amazing job from Larainy and her team."


"Just to say thank you to the cleaners for doing a very thorough job of the deep clean during the summer holiday this year."


Well done to our operations team for coordinating the cleaners and making this happen. We are proud to play a vital role in ensuring 'back to school' goes smoothly for everyone.

LGPS requirements are often misunderstood, yet they can have important financial and administrative implications for both schools and service providers. Understanding the basics early in the procurement process can help avoid delays, unexpected costs and compliance issues later on.
