5-Star Reviews
Kids touch everything. Doorknobs, desks, each other’s lunches. That’s why cleaning services for schools aren’t a luxury, they’re basic health infrastructure. Fewer germs on surfaces means fewer sick days, better attendance, and classrooms where everyone can focus on learning (instead of who’s sneezing).

What School Cleaning Services Actually Do for You
Beyond shiny floors, professional school cleaning services protect your students, take a chore off your staff’s plate, and keep your building looking like a place parents want to send their kids.
Fewer Germs, Fewer Sick Days
High-touch surfaces are germ highways. Regular disinfection of desks, handles, and railings cuts down the spread of colds and flu, keeping students and staff in the building where they belong.
Cleaning That Works Around the School Bell
Mornings, evenings, weekends, summer break. We schedule around your school day, not the other way around, so cleaners are never mopping through math class.
A Plan Built for Your Building
A preschool in a converted rowhome and a university lecture hall need very different things. We build your cleaning plan around your spaces, schedule, and priorities.

Our School Cleaning Checklist
Whether it’s recurring maintenance cleaning or a deep clean before the school year starts, our education cleaning services cover the spaces that matter most, from front entrance to gymnasium.
Here’s what a typical visit includes:
Preparing entrances to welcome students, staff, and visitors
Disinfecting high-touch areas (handles, switches, railings, desks)
Restroom cleaning and sanitization, including tile, grout, sinks, and faucets
Vacuuming carpets and rugs
Cleaning office areas
Mopping hard surface floors
Trash removal
Cleaning gymnasiums and auditoriums
Glass and mirror touch-ups
Cafeteria and food prep area cleaning
Detail touches matter too. Baseboards, vents, window sills, and door handles get attention, because “mostly clean” isn’t a standard anyone brags about. Have a special request? Contact MaidThis and we’ll work it into your plan. Just note that add-ons may affect timing and price.
Why Choose MaidThis for Your School?
You’ve got report cards to grade, budgets to balance, and a gym floor that’s seen things. Hand the cleaning to school cleaning companies you can actually count on, starting with this one. Here’s what you get with MaidThis Philadelphia.
Never a No-Show Guarantee
Cleaners who don’t show up are worse than no cleaners at all (at least no cleaners don’t get your hopes up). If your scheduled cleaner can’t make it, we’ll get your clean covered. That’s the promise.
Quality You Can See
Our cleaners come prepared with professional supplies and a sharp eye for detail. Prefer eco-friendly products? Just ask when you book and we’ll arrange it.
100% Satisfaction Guaranteed
If something’s not right after your cleaning, tell us. We’ll make it right. Simple as that, no fine print gymnastics.
Straight Talk About What We Do (And Don’t Do)
Fair question. Here’s the honest version: no hidden fees, no confusing packages, no surprises on the invoice. Just coordinated, personalized commercial cleaning services with screened professionals and transparency at every stage, from your first quote to your final walkthrough.
We serve schools across Center City, Fishtown, Mount Airy, University City, and South Philadelphia, plus out toward the Main Line. Whether your building is a century-old stone schoolhouse or a daycare in a converted rowhome, we’ve cleaned something like it.
Here’s what our maids don’t handle:
Wiping light fixtures: Anything requiring a ladder is a safety issue, and we like our cleaners in one piece.
Moving furniture: Heavy lifting risks injury and damage to your floors, so bookshelves stay where they are.
Wall cleaning: Scrubbing walls can damage paint and finishes, which nobody wants to explain to the facilities committee.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much do cleaning services for schools cost in Philadelphia?
Pricing depends on square footage, the number of classrooms and restrooms, overall condition, and how often you need service.
Add-ons like interior windows or extra deep cleaning affect the total too. The fastest way to get an accurate number is a quick quote based on your specific building.
Do you clean during school hours or after?
Almost always after. Most schools schedule cleaning for evenings, weekends, or breaks so cleaners never disrupt class time.
If your building has entry codes, alarm procedures, or specific access windows, just share those details when booking and we’ll plan around them.
Can you handle recurring cleaning, or just one-time deep cleans?
Both. Many schools book weekly or twice-weekly maintenance cleaning, then add deep cleans before the school year, after events, or during breaks.
Recurring schedules typically get priority booking, which helps during busy seasons like August and early January.
What areas do you serve?
We serve schools and education facilities throughout Philadelphia, PA, including Center City, University City, Fishtown, Mount Airy, and South Philadelphia, plus communities toward the Main Line. If you’re nearby but unsure, reach out and we’ll confirm your location quickly.
What should we do before cleaners arrive?
A little prep goes a long way. Clear desks of loose papers, secure any valuables, and share parking or loading zone instructions, since street parking near many Philadelphia schools can be tight.
If cleaners need door codes or check-in procedures, confirm those details ahead of time.
