The Summer Deep Clean: How Schools Should Use Their Eight Weeks

September readiness is decided in July. Schools that plan the summer program by week — rather than treating it as one long deep clean — finish with time for verification and touch-up.

A workable week map

• Weeks 1–2: classroom clear-out, desk and chair detail, wall washing
• Weeks 3–4: hard floor strip and seal, gym floor program
• Weeks 5–6: washrooms, change rooms, and locker deep service
• Week 7: library, offices, specialty rooms, and high dusting
• Week 8: verification walk, touch-up, and restock for day one

Vetting matters even in summer

Crews in school buildings should hold Vulnerable Sector Checks regardless of whether students are present. We provide those records as part of mobilization.
