Printable checklist
Classrooms, libraries, and offices
We clean desks, chairs, and classroom floors, along with libraries, offices, corridors, and staff rooms.
Restrooms, cafeterias, and waste
Restroom fixtures, cafeteria tables and floors are cleaned on each visit. Trash and recycling are collected and paper and soap refilled for the next day, from stock we supply or the school’s own.
Floor care across the campus
Carpet, resilient floors, tile and gym floors each get their own care, both on routine visits and during deeper work over school breaks.
Care around learning materials
We clean clear surfaces around learning materials and electronics, leaving classroom supplies and sensitive equipment in place.
Working around the school day
Schools run on bells, breaks and after-school programs, and cleaning has to fit around all of them. Visits fit around your bell schedule, so classrooms, libraries and cafeterias are ready when students return and offices are in order for staff.
Each floor type gets the care its material needs, from carpet and tile to resilient flooring and gym floors. Deeper work through our floor care service can be timed for quieter periods, and schools anywhere in San Jose, from Almaden to Evergreen, can book it.
A school cleaning visit, room by room
Classrooms get desks and chairs wiped, floors vacuumed or cleaned, and bins emptied, with learning materials left in place. Libraries get tables and study areas wiped and floors cleaned. Corridors get floors cleaned and door handles and other touchpoints wiped.
Restrooms receive fixtures, sinks and floors cleaned and paper and soap refilled. Cafeterias receive tables and surfaces wiped and floors cleaned after meals, and a staff kitchen can join through kitchen and breakroom cleaning. Offices and staff rooms are kept in order for teachers and administrators, with papers left where they are.
Planning around the academic year
The school calendar shapes the plan. During the term, recurring visits keep rooms ready for each school day. Breaks and holidays open a window for deeper work: carpet extraction, scrubbing and recoating resilient floors, or strip-and-wax for vinyl tile floors.
Gym floors get care matched to their surface, and floor work is timed so drying and curing finish before students return. Commercial floor care explains each treatment.
Before the walkthrough, bring the school calendar, the hours rooms are open for cleaning and a note of each floor type, so the plan matches the campus from the first visit. Our guide to how often to clean shows how classrooms and offices land on different cycles.
Schools, preschools and learning centers in San Jose
A K–12 school, a preschool and a learning center each use rooms differently. A preschool’s classrooms and restrooms see constant use by young children, so they sit at the top of the schedule. A learning center fills its rooms on its own timetable, and a college or vocational school spreads classes over a longer day. Each room’s frequency follows that pattern.
During the day, day porters can keep busy restrooms and entrances in shape between classes, while recurring janitorial service looks after school offices and staff rooms on their own schedule.
School cleaning prices in San Jose
Schools usually pay at or slightly below San Jose office rates. In 2026 market data, offices cleaned five nights a week run $0.16 to $0.25 per square foot monthly. Classrooms are open, repetitive rooms, so crews move through them quickly. Restrooms, cafeterias and gyms balance that out, which keeps a typical campus near the office band rather than far below it. A campus with a large gym floor and few restrooms stays at the lower edge, near $0.13 a square foot.
Take a 20,000-square-foot private elementary school with fourteen classrooms, a multipurpose room, an office and six restrooms, cleaned each school night. At $0.15 a square foot, that is about $3,000 a month. Summer deep cleaning and floor refinishing are priced separately. Preschools with nap rooms and small restrooms in each class run higher per square foot. Campuses that rent rooms on weekends add visits. Bring the bell schedule and the academic calendar to the walkthrough, and the quote follows the school year.
