It doesn’t take a Phd to recognize the importance of a quality school cleaning program and the inherent challenges of keeping a school clean and healthy.  School facility managers in every city across the nation struggle daily with keeping the school clean so that students have a safe and optimal learning environment.  As we start the new school year you might be feeling right on track due to the summer  maintenance schedule going as planned or maybe the summer program fell a bit short and your playing catch up while students pile in for the first few weeks of school.  If you take a look at your current school cleaning service what grade would you give them?  A+ then keep them around and maybe pat them on the back and say thanks for giving it your all!  Maybe its a B or C+ and your not really sure what exactly they do each evening but the school cleaning service isn’t to your satisfaction.  Hopefully your not struggling with a Failing service that leaves your staff to pick up the pieces after the service is complete.
