When does the work happen?

Daily cleaning is after school hours. The heavy work — floors, deep cleans, windows — goes into mid-terms and the summer break, which is the only time rooms can be emptied.

Is Garda vetting required?

For anyone working in a school, yes, and schools will ask for it before anyone starts. It is worth confirming at the point of enquiry rather than the week before term.

What does the summer clean involve?

Typically the full reset: floors stripped and resealed, all furniture moved, high-level dusting, and the areas that stay occupied during term. It is booked well in advance because the window is fixed.

School Cleaning in Ireland

Schools clean to a rhythm nothing else follows: daily during term, a deep clean at each break, and a full reset over the summer. The daily work is high-touch and fast; the holiday work is when floors are stripped and sealed and everything that cannot be moved during term finally gets moved.
