Janitorial Solutions for Houston Schools

Janitorial services for schools presents many challenges.  The priority of the health and safety of students must be accomplished in the most cost effective way. The environmental protection agency has determined that indoor air quality is very important in schools.  Frequent exposure to bacteria or airborne toxins can affect a child’s health.  A janitorial services program should include the use of high filtration vacuums and auto-scrubbers that do an effective job at collecting dust.

Commercial Cleaning Services

Security is of utmost concern to school administrators.  Janitorial services employees should have background checks and drug testing.  They must be trusted to work around children and have good communication skills and work in a professional manner.  The cleaners should be aware of the school’s culture and priorities and be accommodating with staff needs or requests.  Scheduling for school janitorial services must be flexible and well organized.  For example, there may be special events at different times such as athletic events, music programs, or evening meetings that need careful coordination with the cleaning staff. During summer and holiday breaks, specialized janitorial services are normally performed.  This typically involves floor strip and wax, deep carpet cleaning, washing walls, and power washing of outside sidewalk and parking areas. When formulating an annual budget for janitorial services, one needs to consider all direct and indirect costs.  This includes direct labor, labor burden, equipment and supplies, insurance, and administrative costs.  Normally, when you add all those things together, a janitorial services company can get you the same quality of cleaning for a much lower price.
