Common Cleaning Challenges

High-Traffic Surfaces & Germ Hotspots

Desks, door handles, cafeterias, and washrooms carry high bacteria loads and require frequent, effective disinfection.

Ink, Marker & Graffiti on Surfaces

Classrooms and lockers often accumulate ink, marker, and graffiti that require safe, non-damaging removal.

Odours in Gyms, Locker Rooms & Washrooms

Moisture, sports equipment, and organic buildup contribute to persistent odours that impact student experience.

Heavy Daily Floor Traffic

Hallways, entrances, and common areas need solutions that maintain appearance and safety without disrupting learning.

Chemical Sensitivities & Indoor Air Quality Concerns

Many facilities require low-odour, ECOLOGO Certified products to support healthier indoor environments.

Multiple Buildings & Diverse Room Types

Schools, universities, and colleges need standardized cleaning programs that work across classrooms, labs, residences, and dining areas.

Strain & Fatigue Among Custodial Staff

Large campuses demand ergonomic equipment to reduce repetitive strain and boost productivity.
