Thousands of Cleans
Delivered year-round
Zero Missed Services
Planned, reliable cover
A primary school in Retford needed professional cleaning but had limited budget flexibility. We built a tailored schedule that combined daily essentials with periodic deep cleans during holidays, ensuring hygiene standards without overspending. The school praised the balance of cost and quality, saying they finally had “best value, not just cheapest price.”
Where School Cleaning Often Fails – And How We Get It Right
Many Retford schools and colleges are fighting the same issues: stretched in-house teams, tired equipment, and standards that slip when staff are off sick or leave mid-term. Clean Sweep Commercial removes that uncertainty with uniformed, DBS-vetted staff trained to work safely around pupils and employees, delivering consistent results you don’t have to chase. We sanitise high-touch points as standard to support healthier classrooms and reduce pressure on absences. We use professional-grade equipment — including scrubber driers and HEPA-filter vacuums — to achieve a higher level of hygiene than most in-house setups can sustain. Every visit is time-stamped, checklist-led, and photo-verified through Sentinel™, so you can see what was cleaned, when it was completed, and who signed it off. No missed areas. No vague assurances. Just accountable school cleaning.

Out-of-Term Deep Cleans That Get Your Retford School Ready to Reopen
School holidays are the best window for the kind of deep cleaning that can’t be done properly during term time. With the site empty, our uniformed, DBS-vetted operatives can carry out a full reset without disruption — including machine-scrubbed floor care, carpet steam cleaning, high-level dusting, washroom sanitisation, and kitchen deep cleaning.
We also disinfect shared areas such as libraries, halls, and canteens, so your school reopens clean, safe, and inspection-ready. Working without pupils and staff on-site means we can clean more thoroughly and efficiently, and it’s also the ideal time to flag early wear-and-tear issues before they turn into expensive problems.
Every holiday deep clean follows a tailored site checklist and is delivered in line with your health, safety, and safeguarding expectations — so when the new term starts, you’re not catching up; you’re already set.
School Cleaning You Can Track and Trust
At Clean Sweep Commercial, school cleaning shouldn’t rely on trust alone — it should be transparent, accountable, and easy to verify. That’s why we use Sentinel™, our bespoke cloud-based cleaning oversight system built specifically for schools and colleges.
Every visit is digitally logged, with team leaders checking in and out on site using GPS and time-stamped records. Photo evidence, task-specific checklists, and supervisor notes are captured in real time, so you can clearly see what’s been completed across classrooms, corridors, shared areas, and toilets. Each clean is signed off with a verified digital signature, providing a clear, inspection-ready audit trail whenever needed.
This school was frustrated by recurring issues — bins left full, washrooms below standard, and inconsistent results from their old contractor. We introduced DBS-vetted staff with a detailed cleaning plan and used Sentinel™ logbooks to track every visit. Within a term, staff reported that complaints had stopped, and the site manager said it was the first time cleaning felt “reliable and accountable.”
