What we clean

A Practical Childcare Cleaning Checklist

Our commercial childcare cleaners agree on a documented scope with centre management. The following are common areas included in a regular program, depending on your service agreement and the materials involved.

Educators remain responsible for their own in-session hygiene and supervision procedures. We coordinate with site staff so that professional cleaning complements your centre's policies.

  • Classrooms and learning spaces
  • Children's tables and chairs
  • Bathroom fixtures and toilets
  • Accessible nappy-change surfaces
  • Door handles and touch points
  • Play areas and accessible shelves
  • Floors, entryways and corridors
  • Staff rooms and reception spaces
  • Bins and agreed waste handling
  • Glass, mirrors and accessible windows
  • Approved hard-surface equipment
  • Kitchenette surfaces where agreed

School holidays & detailed maintenance

Periodic Childcare Cleaning & Preschool Deep Cleaning

When children are away or foot traffic is reduced, it's a good opportunity to tackle jobs that aren't practical during an ordinary evening clean. We can quote regular and one-off periodic cleaning separately.

01 • Soft floors

Carpet & Rug Steam Cleaning

Hot-water extraction for suitable classroom carpets, activity rugs and soft-floor areas, with drying arrangements discussed before rooms return to use.

02 • Hard floors

Vinyl Floor Strip & Reseal

Assessment of compatible vinyl flooring, removal of worn coatings where appropriate and application of a suitable finish according to product and flooring requirements.

03 • Detail work

School Holiday Deep Cleaning

Detailed toilet-area scrubbing, accessible high dusting, skirtings, wall marks, fans, glass and other agreed periodic tasks.

For safe reopening, cleaning products, disinfectant contact times, floor finish curing and carpet drying must be appropriate for the surfaces and the centre's operating requirements. We don't promise that cleaning removes every germ or replaces the centre's infection-control procedures.

Flexible regular & periodic visits

How Often Should a Childcare Centre Be Cleaned?

The right frequency depends on enrolment, opening hours, room usage and the centre's own cleaning procedures. A commercial contract can cover an agreed after-hours scope while educators manage hygiene tasks needed during the day.

ScheduleExample tasksWhen it may suit
Daily or regular visitsFloors, toilets, basins, touch points, bins and scheduled classroom cleaning.Busy daycare facilities or centres wanting consistent after-hours cleaning.
Weekly detailed tasksAdditional attention to accessible glass, skirtings, furniture edges and agreed detailed areas.Centres adding detail work to a standard cleaning contract.
School-holiday / periodic cleansCarpet and rug cleaning, vinyl maintenance, deeper bathroom scrubs, fans and other specialist work.Preschools and kindergartens with planned closure windows.

The Australian NHMRC's Staying healthy (6th edition) recommends routine environmental cleaning daily and whenever surfaces are visibly dirty. Your centre's own protocols and applicable requirements take precedence over this example schedule.

Questions from centre managers

Childcare, Preschool & Kindergarten Cleaning FAQs

Do you provide preschool and kindergarten cleaning in Melbourne?

Yes. We can quote professional cleaning for preschools, community kindergartens, childcare centres and early learning facilities across Melbourne, subject to location and scheduling.

Can cleaning be scheduled after childcare operating hours?

Yes. We can discuss evening, early-morning and school-holiday visits to reduce disruption to activities, with site access and security arrangements agreed in advance.

What is included in a childcare cleaning service?

The agreed scope may include floors, tables, bathrooms, basins, high-touch surfaces, entryways, reception, staff areas and bins. Specialist tasks, such as carpet steam cleaning or vinyl strip and reseal, can be quoted separately.

Do you provide school-holiday deep cleaning for kindergartens?

Yes. Holiday cleaning may include additional floor scrubbing, rug or carpet steam cleaning, compatible vinyl floor maintenance, bathrooms, skirtings and accessible high dusting.

How much does childcare cleaning cost in Melbourne?

Price depends on centre size, number of rooms and toilets, required frequency, operating hours, floor types and specialist tasks. Contact us for a scope-based quote rather than relying on a generic price per room.

What cleaning products are appropriate around children?

Cleaning products must be selected for the surface and task, handled and stored securely, and used according to their labels and the centre's procedures. Our cleaning plans are discussed with management; no product should be assumed risk-free merely because it is described as 'natural' or 'green'.

Can you clean childcare carpets, rugs and vinyl floors?

Yes, subject to inspection and suitability. We provide carpet and rug steam cleaning and can quote vinyl strip and reseal for suitable flooring as part of a periodic cleaning plan.

Do you offer regular ongoing childcare cleaning contracts?

We can quote repeat visits, including daily or multiple visits per week where available, and discuss flexible arrangements without lock-in contracts.
