How Can MasterCorp Help You Maintain a Happy, Healthy Learning Environment?
Summer is coming to an end, which means soon kids will be returning to school for another busy academic year. Before the hustle and bustle of students and teachers fills the halls, it’s essential for schools to perform some key maintenance and janitorial tasks to ensure a clean and healthy learning environment. Think about it! School is where kids, teachers, and faculty spend most of their day, and keeping a well-maintained educational facility will not only promote a positive learning experience but also safeguard the health of everyone inside.
As a quality janitorial services provider, MasterCorp is uniquely qualified to provide you not only with excellent cleaning but also decades of experience and knowledge. That’s why in this article, we’re going to go over our comprehensive janitorial and preventive maintenance checklist that will ensure educational facilities start the year off on the right foot.
1. Develop a Comprehensive Cleaning Plan
A successful cleaning regimen begins with a well-thought-out plan. Janitorial services for schools are an ongoing commitment if you want to make sure your facility stays clean and germ-free. That’s why it’s important for school janitorial services to create a comprehensive cleaning schedule that covers every area of the facility. Divide tasks based on daily, weekly, and monthly priorities to ensure no area is overlooked. This plan should include classrooms, hallways, restrooms, common areas, gymnasiums, and outdoor spaces.
At MasterCorp, we understand the importance of maintaining a routine, but we also know that things might change depending on how many students you get, funding, events, etc. That’s why we offer fully customizable cleaning plans for educational facilities. We always have someone available to talk to, whether you need to add on a service or revise your current maintenance plan.
2. Start with a Deep Clean
Before the school year starts, it’s important to get one thorough deep clean in because, chances are, you won’t get another opportunity for about 5–6 months. We recommend focusing on scrubbing floors, sanitizing surfaces, dusting high and low areas, and washing windows. A deep clean sets the stage for daily maintenance throughout the rest of the school year and prevents the accumulation of dirt and germs.

3. Stock Up on Necessary Cleaning Supplies
If you have your own janitorial staff, make sure they have an ample supply of cleaning products and equipment. We recommend investing in eco-friendly cleaning solutions, microfiber cloths, mops, vacuums, and trash bags. Having the right tools at hand ensures efficient cleaning and reduces the risk of cross-contamination.
At MasterCorp, we only use eco-friendly cleaning solutions because we find them to be the best! Not only are they safer than chemicals, which can cause burns, irritation, or respiratory issues, We also use microfiber cloths, as they trap dust and debris, keeping them from escaping back into the air. We only use the best because that’s what our clients deserve.
4. Prioritize High-Traffic Areas
Focus your cleaning efforts on high-traffic areas like entryways, hallways, and restrooms. These areas are breeding grounds for germs and bacteria and require frequent attention. Use disinfectants to sanitize frequently touched surfaces like doorknobs, light switches, and handrails.
Our commercial services experts know the locations most susceptible to germs and contamination because we train each Associate in our proprietary cleaning process that puts an emphasis on efficiency, quality, and hygiene. With us at the helm of your janitorial operations, you can rest easy knowing your faculty and students are safe and protected from germs.
5. Regularly Inspect and Audit
Everything from indoor air quality to the effectiveness of your cleaning procedures is dependent on how often you inspect and audit your property. It’s important to regularly inspect and maintain HVAC systems, especially leading up to school reopening, to ensure they are functioning at optimal efficiency. Also remember to regularly clean the air filters, especially in high-traffic areas, to remove allergens and pollutants. As for cleaning audits, you can use them to identify areas that need improvement and address any concerns early.
MasterCorp knows the importance of collecting data to drive better results. That’s why our experts implement regular inspections and quality audits. We implement a system of full transparency, making sure to record issues when they happen, going the extra mile to fix them, and retraining our Associates on-site if needed.
