While daily cleaning is important, there are specific monthly cleaning tasks that should not be overlooked. By distributing these tasks among your staff throughout the year, you can ensure that the burden doesn't fall on a single individual. Here's a comprehensive guide to your monthly childcare centre cleaning routine.

 

1. Inspect Drains & Plumbing: Regularly check for leaks and blockages to prevent water damage and maintain proper sanitation.

2. Deep Clean Windows, Curtains, and Blinds: Washing windows, dusting blinds, and laundering fabric curtains to eliminate allergens and improve natural light.

3. Thorough Vacuuming and Dusting: Reach behind furniture, dust window sills, and clean baseboards for a more comprehensive clean.

4. Closet and Storage Cleaning: Empty and disinfect closets, shelves, and storage containers, ensuring a germ-free environment for toys, supplies, and essentials.



 

For certain tasks it is advised to use a professional cleaning service to make sure to get the best, cleanest results.

 

1. Carpets & Upholstery: Schedule professional deep cleaning for carpets and upholstery a few times a year to eliminate bacteria buildup and remove stubborn stains.

2. Air-Duct Cleaning: A healthy indoor quality is important. To ensure this, have the air-ducts cleaned to prevent respiratory issues caused by dust and mould.

3. Hardwood Floor Restoration: Give your floors a deep clean to maintain a clean and polished appearance.

4. Bathroom and Kitchen Deep Cleaning : Enlist professionals for comprehensive cleaning of bathrooms and kitchens, focusing on grout to prevent mildew and bacterial growth.

 

By incorporating these monthly cleaning tasks into your childcare centre’s routine, you create a pristine and safe environment for children to learn, play, and grow. Properly distributed responsibilities and occasional professional cleaning services will not only ensure a healthier space but also contribute to a more pleasant experience for both staff and children.
