School cleaning carries
a particular responsibility.
A facility welcoming children cannot rely on standard cleaning. Products, protocols, and frequency must be specifically designed for this environment and nothing less.
For over 10 years, Service Rafia has partnered with daycares, elementary schools, high schools, CEGEPs, and universities across Montreal — with certified protocols, non-toxic products, background-checked staff, and full traceability on every visit.
Standards built around children’s safety
Disinfection protocols fully aligned with the Ministry of Health and Social Services directives for educational environments.
Cleaning standards compliant with Quebec Ministry of Education requirements for both public and private school facilities.
EcoLogo certified or equivalent — non-toxic, biodegradable, fragrance-light, safe for children aged 0 to 5 per MSSS guidelines.
Every staff member working in a school or childcare setting has cleared a full background check before being deployed — certificates on request.
Cleaning tailored to every type of institution
Daycare, elementary, high school, or university — each facility has its own requirements. Our team is trained for each one.
A rigorous process for your students’ safety
On-site visit to evaluate spaces, surfaces, and needs based on the age group your facility serves. No commitment required.
A cleaning protocol built specifically for your establishment, including the full list of products to be used — available for inspection at any time.
Our team arrives only after the last student has left. The facility is clean, ventilated, and ready before the first arrival the next morning.
Detailed cleaning log after every visit — areas cleaned, products used, time of intervention. Essential documentation for all health inspections.
A cleaning program covering
every space on your campus
Every facility receives a customized work plan — reviewed periodically to stay aligned with your evolving needs. Here are the areas and tasks covered at regular visits.
Post-renovation cleaning

“Service Rafia has been cleaning our daycare for 18 months. Parents notice the cleanliness and tell us. The products are genuinely safe for the children — we checked the safety data sheets ourselves.”
“Our elementary school has passed the health inspection every year without issues since we started working with Service Rafia. The cleaning log they provide is something inspectors specifically appreciate.”
“We had a persistent odour problem in the gym change rooms. Service Rafia resolved it completely within two weeks using their disinfection protocol. Genuinely impressive.”

Need additional staff?
We have solutions for that too.
Educational institutions often need more than just cleaning. Service Rafia also helps schools and universities recruit qualified support staff — quickly, reliably, and with full pre-screening.
Every candidate is carefully selected, trained, and verified before being presented to your institution. You focus on your educational mission — we handle the human logistics.
Receptionists & secretaries — temporary or permanent administrative support
Security officers — campus presence and regulation enforcement
Cafeteria cashiers — support staff for school and university dining
Maintenance handymen — repairs and general facility upkeep
Concierge staff — day-to-day building operations management
“One partner for both cleaning and staffing — fewer suppliers to manage, more peace of mind for your administration.”
Questions about
school cleaning
Don’t see your answer here? Call us directly.
Are your products genuinely safe for young children?
Yes, absolutely. We use exclusively EcoLogo-certified products — no VOCs, no phthalates, no harsh fragrances. Safety data sheets are available on request. Our products comply with Quebec health authority guidelines for environments serving children aged 0 to 5.
Has your staff undergone criminal background checks?
Yes. Every team member deployed in a school or childcare setting has completed a full criminal background check before being hired. Certificates are available on request for your records.
Do you provide a cleaning log for inspections?
Yes. After every visit you receive a detailed report covering areas cleaned, products used, and time of intervention. This log is specifically designed to meet health authority and school board inspection requirements.
How often should a school or daycare be cleaned?
For daycares and childcare centres, we recommend daily cleaning with full disinfection of all contact surfaces. For elementary and high schools, 5 visits per week is the standard. Universities can adapt frequency by semester or as needs change.
Do you clean during school breaks?
Yes. School breaks are the perfect time for deep cleaning — floor stripping and waxing, deep carpet cleaning, and full disinfection of change rooms and high-traffic areas. We offer seasonal deep-clean packages designed specifically for school holiday periods.
