So, What do school cleaning Staff actually do?
This is the most searched question on google, so let’s answer the question for you.
Our Swift school cleaning teams in Brisbane are task-based. That means their KPIs (key performance indicators) are based on consistently doing the tasks required to ensure your school is clean and disinfected. Some of our team will take their time, and some will zip through quickly, but as long as the work is done to a high-quality standard every time. It will be like the school cleaning staff are almost unseen, but the job always gets done!
We understand the Principle and Business Manager both have a focus on students’ education and learning opportunities. The Maintenance Managers’ focus is ensuring the buildings function at full capacity. Therefore Swift School Cleaning Team’s focus is on ensuring there are no distractions in the classrooms so that the focus remains on Education and Learning.
To achieve the best results in making sure your school is cleaned the way you want it, our school cleaning staff have a “Policies & Procedures toolkit, which include:
Safe Workplace & Quality Practices
Quality Disinfection Protocols
Systemisation Checklists & Procedures
Planned Periodical Cleaning Services

Our Happy Clients
Our Periodical School Cleaning Services:
This is what we specialise in. We are fully licensed and insured for all the cleaning services we provide. So even if we don’t do your daily School Cleaning services, we can still come in for your periodical cleaning services. We work well with other cleaning companies to ensure we don’t disrupt their cleaning schedule or create any extra work for them. We must ensure that we are only here to do the cleaning work they are not licensed to do.
That means we are happy to work on Weekends or School Holidays when the School Cleaning staff get the week off to ensure there is minimum disruption to their schedules. We also work around holiday programs and after-school care facilities to minimise disruption to their needs.
Window Cleaning Services
We clean all the windows your regular school cleaning staff can’t reach because we have a working from heights license and carry the necessary equipment to reach the windows safely to clean them. We are also insured for this type of work.
The best policy when cleaning windows is less is best. We use as few cleaning chemicals as possible to clean windows. Therefore it’s all elbow grease and the right equipment. We also find the windows stay cleaner for extended periods when done right. So you only need to get the high windows cleaned once a year.
When you are ready to let the light in, give us a call for a free no obligation quote.
Gutter Cleaning Services
Best time to clean the gutters is in Spring before the rainy season comes. That would be ideal so that when the storms arrive you don’t have blockages in the gutters and pipes. Because we have a working from heights licence we are able to get up on the roof and maintain your gutters on an annual basis to make sure that when it comes to storm season your roof, and gutter system are able to handle what the weather throws at them.
Quality service is our goal because we want you to book with us every 12 months. So we make sure the debris from the gutters and pipes don’t end up on the ground for your maintenance man to deal with. We bag it up and take it away. It’s included in all our service packages.
We can also include in your service, roof cleaning to ensure we are removing the debris from the roof as well. This is something we will discuss with you when we visit your school and will be itemised in your quote.
While we don’t offer tree maintenance services we can highly recommend Brisbane Tree Experts to assist with making sure trees are pruned, trimmed safely so that the tree will live a long life without causing any damage to the buildings. They have all the specialised equipment and qualifications to manage your trees.
Deep Bathroom Cleaning Services
Are your bathrooms smelly and your School Cleaning staff have tried their best to clean but they cannot get rid of the bad odours? That’s because your School Cleaning staff cannot use the chemicals needed to get rid of the bacteria growing in the bathroom causing the smells. You are probably at the stage where we need to use a machine that will do the hard work to restore the bathroom to a bacteria-free environment.
Included in our services is removing the toilet paper from the ceiling and walls. While we do have graffiti removal chemicals, sometimes it’s just easier and more cost effective to paint after we have cleaned, but we are happy to advise your maintenance team the best way to remove graffiti during the year.
We can do a mold treatment as we understand in older buildings that buildings that don’t get as much sun will start to grow mold on certain surfaces. So happy to include mould treatment in our bathroom deep cleans.
Girls and Boys bathrooms get deep cleaned the same way with one exception, we use a different ph balanced chemical. We will also include at no extra cost a sanitation chemical to kill any unwanted bacteria growing in the bathrooms that may cause students and teachers to get unwell. This is already included in the service at no extra cost.
Urinal and Drain Cleaning Services
The most common reason for your bathrooms smelling is because there is a build-up of struvite in the drain pipes. You only call a plumber when the maintenance team cannot unblock the pipes because they are expensive. Let’s come in before it gets blocked and clean the urinals and drain system before it gets to the blockage stage. It will also get rid of the smell. We use cleaning equipment and plumbing-grade chemicals by Momar to clear the pipelines of the build-up of bacteria that causes the bad smells.
We are happy to come in on weekends or school holidays to provide the service when it’s least disruptive to school programs, as the bathrooms cannot be used for 24 hours after they have been cleaned. This allows the antibacterial chemical to be fully set in the pipe and/or the floors.
Strip and Seal
Vinyl classroom floors looking dirty? When was the last time they got a strip to remove the dirt build up off them? Once you strip back the dirt build up, you need to protect the floors with a seal. This will ensure your floors don’t get damaged by daily use.
If you are getting lots of complaints that the floors don’t look clean, give us a call? It might be time for a heavy duty scrub or it might be time for a strip and seal. Either way we use equipment and chemicals your daily School Cleaning staff cannot use to restore the floors to that clean look.
Strip and seals should be done every 12 months to help the vinyl floors last the heavy foot traffic on a daily basis. But if you find your floors are getting that dirty look before then, we can come in and use our machine to deep clean the floors to lift the dirt a mop cannot do. Some schools get it done at the end of each term or every 6 months. We are happy to work with your budget and frequency.
Young kids spend more time on the floor, we recommend 3 times a year to polish/buff the floors and a strip and seal once a year. However older kids will eat outside on break times and sit at their desks. That means you could get away with once a year polish/buff floors and once a year strip and seal. 6 monthly service. High School classrooms may only need the strip and seal once a year.
Give us a call and book a time for one of our team to take a look at your floors, and give you a recommendation. Obligation free quote for required services.

By keeping walls free of dirt, grime, moss and mould gives your paint a better chance of lasting longer.

Decontamination Fogging Services
- Have you had a virus outbreak at your school?
- Kids and teachers calling in sick because they are too unwell to come in?
- Your current School Cleaning staff have tried their best to clean, but everyone is still getting sick.
Give us a call before the health minister gives you a directive.
Disinfection cleaning is very different to what your regular School Cleaning staff do on a daily basis. Regular School Cleaning staff are limited in what chemicals they can use. They are also probably feeding the virus by overuse of chemicals they can access.
Your health minister will tell you to deep clean with bleach. If you don’t entirely remove bleach off the surfaces you have disinfected, then you will create a superbug. Meaning the bacteria will be chemical resistant, and your teachers and students will have worse symptoms than before.
But Why fogging?
You can deep clean with the product but that takes time and we cannot guarantee that you will not cross contaminate with dirty mops, cloths and cleaning gear. Therefore fogging is the best way to kill viruses in the air and on the surfaces at the same time.
Our machines blows the chemical out of 3 nozzles up to 10 meters in the direction you point the machine in with a 60 Degree covering. This means it releases excessively large amounts of the product into the air allowing it to hit surfaces from ceiling, walls, windows, furniture, floors in a matter of seconds. This leaves an active antibacterial surface for up to 72 hours. For maximum effect we allow the buildings to sit for 2 hours + to ensure full effectiveness of the solution to take effect before allowing people back into the areas. The chemical will be active for 72 hours after the fogging surface which will lower cross contamination by humans.
"Fogging ensures all areas are treated effectively without human error!"
We use a First Responder Virus Killer in a fogging machine to come and decontaminate your school. The fogging machine is 99% effective and can reach the ceiling. So we are killing the virus in the air and on any surface from the ceiling to the floor. The chemical remains active for up to 72 hours afterwards so that means it will actively kill any newly introduced viruses to the area to stop the spread.
First Responder was patented 84+ years ago and has 6+ years of research and development to ensure its effectiveness in killing anything from all strains of influenza to all strains of the flu, without harm or compromise to the human immune system.
