About This Sector

Safe & Healthy Learning Environments

Educational facilities require a specialist approach to cleaning. Children, students and staff spend long hours in classrooms, corridors and communal areas, making hygiene and safety absolutely paramount. At Mithraic, we deliver cleaning services that are designed specifically for the unique demands of the education sector, from nurseries and primary schools through to universities and further education colleges.

Our teams operate on term-time schedules tailored to your academic calendar, with holiday deep cleans to prepare for each new term. Every member of our education cleaning staff is DBS checked and safeguarding compliant, giving you complete peace of mind. Effective infection control in schools continues to be a priority for both the Department for Education and Ofsted, particularly in relation to cleaning frequency and hygiene protocols in shared spaces. We work closely with school administrators to exceed these expectations whilst minimising disruption to the school day. Our cleaning programmes also support indoor air quality objectives, which the Department for Education continues to emphasise as part of its broader guidance on healthy learning environments.
