Where children learn. Where germs spread. We clean.

Cleaning a nursery or primary school presents a paradox: the surfaces need to be disinfected to a high standard (because children's immune systems are still developing and infection spreads rapidly in close-contact environments), but the chemistry used must be child-safe — no chlorine fumes, no quaternary-ammonium residue on toys that go in mouths, no volatile organic compounds that aggravate childhood asthma. Our education-standard protocol threads this needle by using HSE-approved products with verified child-safe profiles, applied at the right dilution, with appropriate contact time, then rinsed or dried before children return.

Nursery cleaning is particularly specialised. Soft toys, fabric books, sand and water play trays, sensory play items, and dressing-up costumes all need regular sanitisation that can't be done with a spray-and-wipe. We use a combination of steam sanitisation (180°C dry steam on soft toys and play mats), hot-water extraction (for fabric items), and UV-C cabinet treatment (for electronics and books). Hard toys are washed in a food-safe sanitiser at 50°C, rinsed with potable water, and air-dried. The process is documented in your safeguarding file for inspection by the Care Inspectorate.

For primary and secondary schools, the protocol shifts toward infection-control at scale. Touchpoint disinfection (door handles, banisters, taps, flush handles, light switches, IT equipment) becomes the priority — these are the surfaces that drive 80% of infection transmission in schools. We deploy a dedicated team during the school day for high-traffic touchpoint refreshes, plus a full team after school hours for the deep clean. ATP swab verification on random touchpoints is logged to your client portal — useful for parent communication during flu season and for HMI/Education Scotland inspections.
