A real school checklist names every room and what happens in it: classrooms dusted and vacuumed nightly, cafeterias cleaned to food-service standard, gyms and locker rooms sanitized, restrooms detailed and restocked.

Timing matters as much as tasks. Touch-point disinfection runs during the term, floor programs rotate through high-traffic lanes, and the full deep reset waits for summer when the halls empty out.

Ask any bidder to show you the checklist before the price. If it is generic — no mention of your cafeteria, gym, or dismissal schedule — the quote is a guess, and the service will be too.
