WHY THIS MATTERS TO SCHOOL ADMINISTRATORS
Parents are choosing schools based on health and safety. Accreditation reviewers inspect bathrooms and common areas. And every student who stays home sick is one fewer student in your attendance count, which directly affects how much your school gets reimbursed. The cleaning vendor most schools use was chosen for price. Those gaining enrollment and protecting their funding are choosing vendors that treat cleaning as a measurable, strategic function rather than a commodity.
WHAT THE RESEARCH SHOWS
The Connection Between Cleaning and Attendance Is Documented. Here's the Data.
These are industry and academic research findings, not PurelyClean’s results. We’re sharing them because they explain why the school cleaning approach we’re building is designed the way it is.
75%
of school absences are caused by illness, making surface hygiene the single largest controllable factor in attendance

14%
reduction in student absences found in an elementary school study after increasing cleaning and disinfection frequency

Up to 50%
reduction in illness-related absences found in a randomized controlled trial using targeted surface disinfection

Why This Directly Affects Your Budget
In Georgia, many private and charter schools receive per-pupil funding tied to Average Daily Attendance (ADA). Every student who misses school due to illness results in a reduction in that day’s attendance count. Multiply that across a semester, and you have a measurable budget impact. At the same time, parents increasingly cite cleanliness and hygiene as a factor when choosing a school, particularly post-pandemic. A cleaning partner who can demonstrate effectiveness with data isn’t an operating cost. It’s an enrollment and retention strategy.
WHAT WE CLEAN
Every Space Your Students, Staff, and Parents Walk Through
Every school engagement starts with a documented cleaning plan specific to your facility, not a generic checklist applied the same way to every building.
📚
Classroom Cleaning
Desks, chairs, whiteboards, floors, vents, door handles, and light switches, sanitized after hours so teachers walk into a clean room every morning.
🚻
Restroom Sanitization
School restrooms are the highest-risk surface environment in any building. We scrub, disinfect, and restock to the level health inspectors and parents expect.
🍽️
Cafeteria & Common Dining
Food-safe sanitization using non-toxic, eco-friendly products throughout food-service areas, no harsh chemical residue where students eat.
🏛️
Hallways & Common Areas
Lobbies, hallways, trophy cases, and reception areas, the spaces prospective parents and accreditation reviewers see first.
🏀
Gym & Event Spaces
High-use floors, bleachers, and equipment areas cleaned and ready for PE, assemblies, and school events on your schedule.
🧪
High-Touch Surface Protocol
Targeted disinfection of door handles, light switches, keyboards, water fountains, and stair rails, the surfaces research identifies as primary transmission points.
BUILT FOR THE SCHOOL ENVIRONMENT
What School Administrators Actually Need From a Cleaning Vendor
School administrators ask about these in every vendor conversation. Here’s where we stand.
🛡️
Background-Checked Team
Every PurelyClean contractor is background-checked before their first assignment. Not a school-specific policy, it’s our standard for every client, every time.
🌿
EPA-Approved Disinfection
We use EPA-registered disinfectants and industry-standard cleaning practices to help reduce germs and maintain a healthy slearning environment for students and staff.
🗓️
Scheduled Around You
We build every cleaning schedule around our clients’ calendar. For schools, that means after dismissal, on weekends, or during breaks, never during instruction time.
WHAT EVERY SCHOOL PARTNERSHIP INCLUDES
What We're Committing to in Every School Engagement
Too many cleaning companies have generic websites that say the right things and don’t back them up. Our pitch and our practice match. Here’s exactly how we hold ourselves accountable.
🧪 ATP Surface Swab Testing
Every school engagement begins with an ATP baseline surface test across your key areas, establishing a measurable starting point before the first clean. Follow-up tests let us show you actual before-and-after results over time, not verbal assurances. ATP testing is the same method used in peer-reviewed school research, and we’re building it into our school partnerships specifically because it’s the only credible way to answer “is the cleaning actually working?”
📋 Monthly Check-Ins With Your Leadership
Monthly meetings with your facilities director, principal, or business manager are built into every school contract, not offered as an upgrade. We review cleaning logs, share surface test results, and flag anything that needs attention. The goal is that small issues get addressed before they become complaints — and that you always have a point of contact who knows your building.
📄 Documented, Customized Cleaning Plan
Every school gets a written cleaning protocol tailored to their specific rooms, traffic patterns, and schedule, not a generic checklist applied the same way to every building. This document lives with your records, travels with accreditation audits, and can be shared with parents or administrators whenever you need to demonstrate your facility standards.
✅ Completion Reporting
After every cleaning visit, you receive confirmation that the team was on-site, what was cleaned, and when. No guessing. No following up. This is part of how we’re structured across our existing client base, school partnerships just make it more visible because the stakes are higher.
Flexible by Design
Cleaning Schedules Built Around Your School Calendar
A one-size-fits-all schedule doesn’t work for a school. We build the plan around how your facility is actually used, term by term.
After-School Daily
Best for high-traffic schools
Classrooms and common areas cleaned Monday through Friday after dismissal. Daily high-touch surface disinfection included to interrupt illness transmission cycles.
classrooms, restrooms, hallways, high-touch surfaces, trash
Weekend Deep Clean
Best for a weekly full-facility reset
Full deep clean every weekend with zero disruption to school hours. Your building resets before Monday morning, documented and reported.
full facility, high-touch sanitization, floor care, restroom deep scrub
Break & Holiday Cleans
Best for semester transitions
Deep cleaning timed to winter break, summer prep, or post-renovation, so students return to a fully reset facility after the break, and not a maintained one.
deep clean, appliance interiors, window cleaning, floor resurfacing prep

Getting Started
How The Partnership Works
Step 1: No-Obligation Facility Walkthrough
We visit your school, walk every space, and discuss your schedule and priorities. No pitch, no pressure, just an honest look at what you’re working with and whether we’re the right fit.
Step 2: Custom Plan + ATP Baseline Test
Before the first clean begins, we conduct an ATP swab baseline across your key surfaces and build a written cleaning protocol specific to your facility. You have documented proof of where things started, so you can measure progress.
Step 3: Consistent Service + Monthly Check-Ins
Our team arrives on schedule, follows the documented plan, and sends completion reports after every visit. Once a month, we meet with your leadership to review results and share updated surface test data. You always know the work was done and how well it’s working.
Common Questions
Questions School Administrators Ask Before Signing On
What is ATP testing and how does it work?
ATP (adenosine triphosphate) testing measures the level of organic contamination on a surface using a swab and a handheld luminometer. It’s the same method used in peer-reviewed school studies published in journals like the Journal of Exposure Science & Environmental Epidemiology. A lower ATP reading means a cleaner surface. We test key areas before and after cleaning so you have a quantifiable measure of effectiveness, not just a verbal assurance.
How does cleaning connect to attendance and funding?
Research shows approximately 75% of school absences are illness-related. For many Georgia charter schools, funding is tied to Average Daily Attendance, so illness-driven absences have a real budget impact. Studies have found that targeted surface disinfection can reduce illness-related absences significantly. We’re not promising specific attendance outcomes for your school — too many variables affect that. What we’re saying is that the research supports consistent, documented surface cleaning as a meaningful lever, and our approach is designed around what that research identifies as most effective.
What do the monthly check-ins actually involve?
Monthly check-ins are built into every school contract — typically 20-30 minutes with whoever oversees your facility operations. We review the previous month’s cleaning logs, share any ATP surface test results from that period, flag observations from the team, and plan around any upcoming schedule changes or events. These can be in-person or via video call. The goal is that you’re never surprised by a problem — we catch it in the monthly meeting before it becomes a parent complaint.
Are your staff background-checked and are you insured?
Yes and yes. Background checks are standard for every PurelyClean contractor before their first assignment, this isn’t a school-specific policy. We carry general liability insurance and can provide a certificate of insurance for your school’s vendor records. Both are baseline requirements for any vendor on a school campus and we treat them as exactly that.
Can I refer PurelyClean to my clients directly?
Absolutely, and many agents do. When you refer us, mention your name and we’ll give your clients priority treatment. Talk to us about setting up a formal preferred vendor arrangement for your brokerage.
Can you clean around our school schedule?
Yes. Before any engagement begins, we build the cleaning schedule directly from your school calendar — including early dismissal days, after-school programs, evening events, sports seasons, and breaks. All cleaning happens after dismissal, on weekends, or during break periods. We coordinate with your team so cleaning never overlaps with instruction or campus activities.
