The Most Trusted Cleaning Partner for College and University Campuses in South Florida

Vast Size and Diverse Facilities: College campuses can be extensive, comprising various types of buildings, including classrooms, dormitories, laboratories, libraries, sports facilities, event spaces, and administrative offices. Cleaning and maintaining each of these types of spaces requires awareness and experience on the part of your janitorial service.

Academic Schedules: The academic calendar includes breaks between semesters or quarters and summer vacations. Cleaning schedules must be adjusted to accommodate these periods for deep cleaning, repairs, and renovations.

High Foot Traffic: Colleges and universities have a constant flow of students, faculty, and staff throughout the day. This high foot traffic leads to increased wear and tear, making it potentially challenging to keep common areas and walkways clean and presentable.

Specialized Cleaning Needs: Different areas on a college campus have unique cleaning requirements. For instance, laboratories may require specialized cleaning due to hazardous materials, while event spaces need specialized cleaning on an as-needed basis.

Sustainability Goals: Many colleges and universities have sustainability goals and seek to implement green cleaning practices to reduce the environmental impact of cleaning products and processes. An eco-friendly cleaning service committed to protecting the environment with a green cleaning protocol, such as SparkleTeam’s LEED-based cleaning practices, is your best bet for meeting your campus’s sustainability goals. 

Special Events: Colleges often host special events, conferences, and academic functions, which require extra attention to cleaning and maintaining venues to ensure they are sparkling clean before and after each event.

College Athletics: Many higher learning institutions in South Florida are home to thriving college athletic programs. These facilities encompass stadiums, indoor arenas, gymnasiums, locker rooms, and practice fields, each with unique cleaning needs.

Compliance with Regulations: Educational institutions may be required to adhere to local, state, and federal regulations regarding safety, cleanliness, and accessibility. Ensuring compliance often requires additional training and documentation for cleaning staff.

Community Expectations: A clean and well-maintained campus is important not only for its day-to-day functionality. It influences the overall image and reputation of the institution. Meeting the expectations of your community and each stakeholder group is part of the job.

Weather Challenges: Depending on the region, campuses may face weather-related challenges such as flooding and handling extreme weather conditions that can impact the campus environment.
