How Schools, Colleges and Universities Organise Out Of Term Deep Cleaning

When the term is in full swing, school and university buildings barely get a break. Classrooms are constantly in use, corridors are buzzing, and shared spaces are filled with teachers and students. Keeping everything clean during term time can be tricky, and that is where we come in.

At Officlean, we provide both daily cleaning to keep your campus safe and presentable during term time and out-of-term deep cleaning to refresh the whole building when students and staff are away.

We work with schools, colleges, and universities across the Midlands, including Birmingham, Wolverhampton, Dudley, Halesowen, Walsall, and Cannock, making sure your buildings are clean and ready for learning.

Commercial Building Cleaning Services

Daily cleaning during term time focuses on maintaining a presentable and hygienic environment. That means we clean classrooms, common areas, canteens, kitchens, and toilets so that staff and students have a safe and comfortable environment every day.

Out-of-term deep cleaning goes further. It gives us the time to scrub floors properly, refresh carpets, deep clean kitchens and washrooms, and tackle those areas that are often missed during day-to-day cleaning. By combining daily cleaning with deep cleaning during academic breaks, schools and universities start each term with buildings that are not just tidy but truly refreshed.

What We Focus On During Academic & University Cleaning

Before we start any deep cleaning, we always do a walk-through of the site. This helps us see which areas are used the most and which spaces need the most attention.

Busy corridors, entrances, and toilets usually need the most work. Classrooms, lecture halls, canteens, and kitchens may show signs of heavy use over time. By assessing each space, we can decide where a full deep clean is needed and where our daily cleaning services are enough to keep things running smoothly.

Classrooms and Lecture Halls

We make sure every learning space is thoroughly refreshed. Floors are scrubbed or carpets are deep cleaned to remove dirt, dust, and stains that accumulate over the term. Desks, chairs, and other furniture are sanitised, and dust is carefully removed from skirting boards, vents, light fittings, and other hard-to-reach areas. This ensures students and staff return to a clean, healthy environment that is conducive to learning.

Washrooms

Washrooms are one of the most heavily used areas on campus, so they get extra attention during deep cleaning. We carry out full descaling, remove limescale, clean and sanitise tiles and grout, and disinfect all surfaces. Sinks, toilets, and urinals are thoroughly cleaned, leaving washrooms hygienic, fresh-smelling, and ready for the start of term.

Libraries, Laboratories and IT Rooms

These specialised areas require careful cleaning to protect valuable equipment and resources. We remove dust and grime without risking damage to computers, laboratory apparatus, or shelving. Work surfaces are sanitised, and floors are cleaned to maintain a healthy, safe environment for study and research.

Canteens and Kitchens

Canteens and kitchens are hotspots for spills, grease, and bacteria. During out-of-term cleaning, we deep clean all surfaces, floors, counters, and appliances. This includes ovens, fridges, sinks, and prep areas. Sanitising these spaces ensures compliance with hygiene standards and keeps food preparation areas safe for students and staff.

Student Accommodation and Common Areas

Rooms, lounges, and communal spaces are fully refreshed during academic breaks. Kitchens, bedrooms, and shared spaces are cleaned thoroughly, including floors, surfaces, furniture, and fixtures. We remove built-up dust and dirt, leaving these areas ready for students to move in or continue using safely.

By combining this comprehensive out-of-term deep cleaning with our daily cleaning services, we make sure your campus stays clean, safe, and inviting all year round.
