Deep Cleaning Services for Schools
Safe Companies is known for its excellence in providing safe and professional cleaning services for schools. But we are not your typical janitorial service. For more than 20 years, we have been an industry leader in infection prevention. Our workforce receives top-notch training to ensure our clients can focus on cleaning outcomes that verify safe and healthy levels are reached.
Safe Schools is dedicated to the elimination of the risks associated with operating an educational space. Whether it is a K-12 public school or a private university, Safe Schools provides a safe environment for your students and faculty. In post-COVID times, educational facilities require a higher level of diligence and cleanliness and the evidence to back it up. That is where our Defendable Program comes into play. Learn more about it below.
Deep School Cleaning Solutions
- Dry Vapor Steam Technology uses a vapor steam device to produce steam at temperatures between 307 and 363 degrees Fahrenheit. The steam is a natural sanitizer for surfaces like floors, counters, and other frequently-touched areas.
- Electrostatic Sprayers are loaded with cleaning agents, sanitizers, and disinfectants for distribution over large areas. Using an electrostatic sprayer gives the solutions a negative charge, which helps the solution to evenly coat and stick to the surface on which it is being sprayed.
- Probiotic Bio-Detergents are a non-chemical alternative for cleaning surfaces that use a fermentation process to produce bio-compounds that break down dirt and grime on surfaces. Because of their non-toxic ingredients, they are safe for individuals with sensitive skin, making them ideal options for schools.
- Surface Contaminant Testing is conducted on recently cleaned and sanitized surfaces to detect any harmful bacteria or viruses that may be left behind. It also can be used to determine what kind of bacteria and viruses are commonly found on surfaces in your facility to help us craft an effective protocol for treatment.
STEP ONE: ANALYZE
Our team of cleaning professionals will thoroughly review clients’ current cleaning protocols and Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) to ensure they meet the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) guidelines for preventing the transmission of diseases. During the review process, our team looks for previous plans covering cleaning, disinfecting, and sanitizing all shared surfaces and spaces in your facility. There is a difference, each with its purpose. During this stage, we also examine chemical usage to determine cost-effectiveness.
Cleaning removes germs, dirt, and other impurities from surfaces and objects. Soap or another detergent is used for the cleaning process. Disinfecting kills germs on objects or surfaces by using a chemical agent. Sanitizing lowers the number of germs found on objects and surfaces to a level deemed safe by the CDC. Schools that are not doing all three are missing crucial steps in keeping their environments safe and secure.
STEP TWO: RESTORATION
Following the review of existing disinfection protocols, our sanitation experts will create a thorough plan that identifies and corrects any gaps in the process. For instance, if your custodial staff is only cleaning surfaces and objects, a recommendation would be issued to include the other two procedures to further reduce the spread of illness and disease. We use a variety of technologies, including dry vapor and electrostatic sprayers. Once our customized cleaning plan is complete, we can implement it on our own or by partnering with your existing teams. Staff training plans are implemented to ensure your schools remain exceptionally sanitary long after our work is complete.
STEP THREE: DOCUMENT
Once a thorough evaluation has occurred, our school clients are guided through the third step, which ensures our clients have benefited from working with our team. This step involves the documentation of outcomes to guarantee OSHA and CDC compliance. Our team leverages state-of-the-art ATP testing to provide solid proof of cleaning outcomes. The data we produce adds objective detail to your defendable plan.
STEP FOUR: TRAINING AND EDUCATION
Whether our team of cleaning professionals is tasked with providing services or we train your on-site custodial staff, Safe Schools establishes best practices designed to maintain the safety and sanitation of your school. Training for in-house staff or an outsourced provider helps to ensure they are following established best practices, and are using the most effective tools and products in their day-to-day work.
STEP FIVE: SUSTAINABILITY
The final step in our proven process helps clients create a sustainable clean and healthy environment. Included in this step is the use of barrier products and ongoing monitoring. Barrier products offer an additional level of antimicrobial protection on key touchpoints for up to six months. Ongoing monitoring captures data regularly to ensure the level of cleanliness is maintained. Our reporting helps clients manage the exceptions at the touchpoint, unit or regional level to guarantee that “what gets measured gets done.”
