Built Around the Standards You Are Assessed On.

Education facilities are held to specific hygiene and safety standards. Our programs are designed to support your compliance, not just clean your floors.

NQF Quality Area 3

National Quality Framework (Childcare)

Quality Area 3 requires that the physical environment is safe, suitable and provides a rich and diverse range of experiences. Our cleaning programs support this through:

  • Documented cleaning checklists aligned to QA3 standards
  • Photo reports for compliance evidence
  • Non-toxic product Safety Data Sheets available on request
Department of Education

School Facility Standards

Schools are expected to maintain clean and hygienic environments for students and staff. Our programs cover:

  • Classroom, bathroom and common area hygiene
  • Canteen and food prep area standards
  • After-hours cleaning to avoid student contact
Working With Children

Staff Screening & Checks

Every team member assigned to an education facility holds current credentials:

  • Working With Children Check (WWCC)
  • National Police Check
  • Verified before assignment, kept up to date
Product Safety

Safety Data Sheets on File

Parents ask. Regulators check. We keep full documentation ready:

  • Complete SDS for every product used on-site
  • TGA-approved products only
  • Provided to your facility for records

Products Parents Can Trust.

Children touch everything. They put things in their mouths. They crawl on floors. The products used to clean their environment matter.

Non-Toxic and Fragrance-Free

No harsh chemicals, no artificial fragrances. Every product is selected specifically for environments where children are present.

Low-VOC and Allergy-Safe

Low volatile organic compound products that will not trigger allergies or respiratory sensitivities in children or staff.

TGA-Approved Where Required

Sanitisation products meet Therapeutic Goods Administration standards. Full Safety Data Sheets provided for your records.

Custom Product Preferences Accommodated

If your facility specifies particular products or brands, we will source and use them. Your requirements come first.

Every Area of Your Facility, Covered.

Each zone has different surfaces, hygiene requirements and compliance standards. We scope each one separately.

Classrooms & Learning Spaces

Where children spend most of their day. Every surface they touch, sit on and learn at needs to be clean and safe.

Desks, tables and chairs wiped and sanitised
Whiteboards and display surfaces cleaned
Floors vacuumed and mopped (carpet and hard surface)
Light switches, door handles and shared equipment sanitised
Bins emptied, art and craft debris cleared

Bathrooms & Nappy Change

The highest hygiene-risk zone. Student bathrooms, staff toilets and nappy change areas all need anti-microbial treatment, not a surface wipe.

Toilets, basins and urinals deep cleaned
Nappy change surfaces sanitised with anti-microbial products
Floors mopped with child-safe disinfectant
Soap, paper towel and consumables restocked
Nappy bins emptied and sanitised

Kitchen & Food Preparation

Where meals and snacks are prepared for children. Food safety and hygiene compliance are non-negotiable.

Benchtops and food prep surfaces sanitised
Appliance exteriors and interiors cleaned
Sinks, taps and splashbacks degreased
Floors mopped and drainage cleared
Waste and recycling removed

Indoor & Outdoor Play Areas

Play equipment, sandpits, climbing frames and soft-fall surfaces. Children interact physically with every surface here.

Indoor play equipment wiped and sanitised
Outdoor climbing frames and slides cleaned
Soft-fall surfaces swept and debris removed
Sandpit covers maintained (where applicable)
Toy and prop sanitisation (periodic deep clean)

Admin, Staff & Reception

The areas parents see when they arrive. Staff rooms where teachers recharge. First impressions and staff wellbeing both matter.

Reception desks and counters sanitised
Staff room kitchen and break area cleaned
Admin office workstations and shared equipment wiped
Parent waiting area tidied and sanitised
Entry doors, sign-in screens and touchpoints cleaned

Different Intensity for Term vs Holidays.

Your facility runs on a term calendar. Your cleaning program should too.

The tasks that cannot happen during normal operation. A full facility reset before the next term begins.

Parents have noticed the difference. The classrooms are spotless every morning and the bathrooms are genuinely clean, not just wiped over. The holiday deep cleans are a full reset.
