Frequently Asked Questions

Looking for general information about our School and Child Care Cleaning services? SCS Group is here to help.

1. Why is cleaning important in childcare?

Cleaning is crucial in childcare to prevent the rapid spread of infectious diseases (like colds, flu, and gastro) among children and staff. Young children frequently touch surfaces and put items in their mouths, making regular and routine cleaning and disinfection essential to meet health regulations and provide parents with confidence. SCS Group ensures every surface is addressed with child-safe, non-toxic products to protect sensitive occupants.

2. How do you clean toileting areas in childcare?

Toileting and nappy change areas must be cleaned and disinfected multiple times daily and immediately after use. The process involves removing soil, cleaning all surfaces (toilets, handles, sinks) with detergent, and then applying an EPA/hospital-grade disinfectant with the proper dwell time, followed by rinsing and drying if required by the product. SCS Group applies strict cross-contamination controls using Red-coded cleaning tools exclusively for bathroom areas.

3. How to clean tables in childcare ?

Tables and chairs must be cleaned and disinfected before and after mealtimes and activities.5 This process involves a two-step method: 1) Clean the surface with warm, soapy water and a clean cloth to remove visible dirt, and 2) Disinfect by applying an approved, child-safe solution (following the required dwell time) to kill germs. The SCS Group approach uses a colour-coded system for cloths to ensure the materials used on toilets are never used on eating surfaces.

4. Why is it necessary for education and care services to maintain regular and routine cleaning and infection control procedures?

It is necessary to break the chain of infection. Regular cleaning removes dirt and organic matter, while routine disinfection kills harmful germs and viruses that cause illness, significantly reducing absenteeism for both children and staff. SCS Group customises an infection control plan based on the facility type (daily for childcare, high-traffic focus for schools) to meet specific government health and safety guidelines.

5. What cleaning products should be used in a childcare setting?

Toileting and nappy change areas must be cleaned and disinfected multiple times daily and immediately after use. The process involves removing soil, cleaning all surfaces (toilets, handles, sinks) with detergent, and then applying an EPA/hospital-grade disinfectant with the proper dwell time, followed by rinsing and drying if required by the product. SCS Group applies stricts cross-contamination controls using Red-coded cleaning tools exclusively for bathroom areas.

6. How often should daycare carpets be cleaned?

Daycare carpets should be vacuumed daily (preferably with a HEPA-filtered vacuum) and professionally deep cleaned via hot water extraction (steam cleaned) at least every 3 to 6 months due to high foot traffic and potential spills. Professional carpet cleaning is safe for babies when the service uses non-toxic, biodegradable, low-VOC solutions and ensures the carpet is completely dry (within 6-12 hours) to prevent mould. SCS Group's approach only uses child-safe, non-toxic products for deep carpet cleaning.

7. How to clean tables and chairs in childcare?

Tables and chairs must be cleaned and disinfected before and after mealtimes and activities. This process involves a two-step method: 1) Clean the surface with warm, soapy water and a clean cloth to remove visible dirt, and 2) Disinfect by applying an approved, child-safe solution (following the required dwell time) to kill germs. SCS Group uses a colour-coded system for cloths to ensure the materials used on toilets are never used on eating surfaces.

8. How to make a cleaning schedule for school?

A school cleaning schedule is created by first classifying areas by risk and usage (e.g., bathrooms, canteen, classrooms, offices). Tasks are then assigned a frequency: Daily (high-touch points), Weekly (floors, deep classroom cleaning), and Periodic (windows, deep carpet cleans during term breaks). SCS Group partners with the school administration to design a detailed, customised schedule that is flexible to the academic calendar and prioritises core cleaning outside of student hours.

9. How to clean school supplies?

Hard school supplies (calculators, tablets, rulers, scissors) should be wiped down periodically with a disinfecting wipe or a cloth sprayed with a gentle disinfectant solution, focusing on items shared between students. Soft items (cushions, fabric toys in primary grades) should be laundered at a high temperature. SCS Group trains its teams on the proper and safe disinfection of educational technology and shared classroom equipment.

10. What kind of background checks and security procedures are in place for cleaning staff working in sensitive educational settings?

People seeking cleaning services commonly ask how to ensure a hygienic environment, which for Daycare/Childcare means daily disinfection with non-toxic products, for Schools means high-contact point sanitisation and better air quality, and for Tertiary Education means continuous cleaning of high-volume public spaces. SCS Group's approach this by using colour-coded systems and providing staff with training specific to each sector's hygiene requirements, guaranteeing consistency and adherence to strict health standards across all facility types.

11. How do cleaning services ensure a hygienic and healthy environment for students and staff?

The security of students and staff is a top concern, requiring mandatory Working With Children Checks (WWCC) for all cleaning staff in both Daycare/Childcare and Schools, while Tertiary Education sites require thorough National Police Checks and security training for handling sensitive areas. SCS Group's approach implements a rigorous Security and Access Protocol for key management, ensures all staff hold the necessary clearances, and requires personnel to wear visible, auditable identification while on site, securing your facility whether it's a small centre or a large campus.

I have been using SCS Group’s cleaning services for some time. I find them extremely responsive to any problems within the over 60 Centres in Victoria. They are very professional and ring and/or visit the Centre to discuss and issues and these are rectified in a timely manner to the Centre Director’s satisfaction. I have no hesitation in using them as a contractor.

SCS group cleaning have been cleaning our childcare service for over 5 years. The client services manager (Hailie) is always friendly, polite, and efficient. SCS group cleaning is summed up in one word ‘Purely professional’. Hailie is always happy to help and answer any questions. Hailie does weekly visits to the service and . The cleaning is of a high standard, and our service is always clean. The cleaners always go above and beyond and provide us the cleanest possible environment. Our parents and families always comment on how clean our childcare service is and they show attention to detail. Being a childcare service the high level of attention to detail is what we strive for, and it is noticeable just how much SCS group cleaning share these same values. We would normally have 1 educator float between supervising children to completing cleaning tasks however on the nights the centre is due a cleaning service the educators are able to spend that time with the children instead.

A consistently reliable and professional team looks after our business premises. I have now been using SCS Group for around 6 years for all our office and studio cleaning on a weekly basis. I am extremely satisfied with the service. It is always slightly scary to switch to a new cleaning company without knowing how reliable or trustworthy they are going to be. Fortunately, I found Smart Cleaning Solutions. Most importantly, they are very flexible and easy to communicate with and work with. I would strongly recommend SCS Group.
