Kid-safe cleaning protocols. We use approved products, increase disinfection of toys and touchpoints, and care for soft surfaces to protect children and staff.
In-House Day Care Facility Commercial Cleaning in Metro Detroit
Kid-Safe Hygiene for Classrooms, Nap Areas, and Shared Spaces
Cleanliness in child-occupied spaces isn’t just about looking tidy—it’s about interrupting germ cycles while protecting delicate immune systems and sensitive surfaces. Maven Commercial Cleaning’s In-House Day Care Facility Commercial Cleaning program delivers kid-safe disinfection, soft-surface care, and compliance-minded routines for on-site childcare rooms inside offices, medical campuses, fitness centers, schools, and corporate facilities across Detroit, Southfield, Novi, Troy, and the wider Macomb, Oakland, and Wayne county region. We combine EPA-listed disinfectants (child-appropriate), low-odor options, and documented checklists to keep classrooms, nap zones, and play areas healthy, welcoming, and regulation-ready.
What We Clean (and How We Keep It Kid-Safe)
Every program begins with an on-site walk-through—never a virtual estimate—to map room layouts, ages served, materials, traffic peaks, and licensing requirements. Then we build a zone-by-zone plan with the right methods and frequencies.
- Classrooms & Activity Areas
- Tables, chairs, cubbies, shelves, and manipulatives wiped and disinfected on a documented cadence; device-safe care for tablets and shared screens.
- High-touch points (doors, rails, light switches, faucets) cleaned and disinfected at set intervals throughout the day (via porter) and again during after-hours resets.
- Floor care tuned to your surface mix (LVT, rubber, carpet tiles): daily debris removal; neutral cleaner cycles; periodic machine scrubs; HEPA vacuuming for carpets and rugs.
- Toys & Learning Materials
- Rotation-friendly sanitation plan: hard toys disinfected on a schedule; soft toys laundered per your policy; bin-by-bin labeling so staff and parents see a consistent routine.
- Mouthable items prioritized for more frequent disinfection in infant/toddler rooms.
- Nap & Quiet Zones
- Cots and mats cleaned and disinfected between uses; storage areas wiped; cot feet and contact points sanitized to prevent cross-contamination.
- Blanket and sheet handling aligned with your laundry policy; soiled-item isolation and bagging protocols to protect other surfaces.
- Diapering, Restrooms & Hand-Wash Stations
- Changing tables, guards, and pads disinfected with proper dwell times after each use (porter coverage available); liners changed and trash sealed.
- Sinks, faucets, and soap/towel dispensers cleaned and restocked; splash zones and counters disinfected; mirrors polished.
- Toilets/urinals/child-height fixtures thoroughly disinfected; partitions and hardware wiped; drain/odor control addressed at the source.
- Food Prep, Bottle, and Snack Areas
- Counters, sinks, appliances, refrigerators (exteriors) cleaned and sanitized; handles and knobs disinfected.
- High-chairs, trays, and booster seats cleaned and disinfected per service; labeled storage wiped and organized.
- Entry, Pick-Up/Drop-Off, and Stroller Parking
- Mats and thresholds maintained to prevent tracking; door glass/frames kept fingerprint-free.
- Badge pads/intercoms cleaned with low-moisture, device-safe methods; stroller areas swept and organized to maintain egress.
Health Standards, Chemical Safety & Low-Odor Options
Children’s spaces demand product choice and process control. We:
- Use EPA-listed disinfectants with appropriate contact times and kid-safe profiles; we can specify low-VOC, fragrance-free options for scent-sensitive rooms.
- Train our uniformed W-2 team in BBP awareness, PPE use, proper dilution, and dwell-time compliance—then verify with digital checklists.
- Prevent residue build-up on tables and toys by pairing disinfection with final wipes using material-safe cloths.
- Follow food-adjacent protocols in prep areas and bottle stations to avoid cross-contamination.
Documentation Parents and Inspectors Appreciate
Day care environments face oversight from internal compliance teams and, in many cases, state or local licensing review. We provide:
- Zone-specific digital checklists with time stamps (classrooms, nap areas, diapering stations, restrooms, kitchens).
- Supply/restock logs for soap, paper, and liners.
- Corrective action notes when we identify recurring issues (e.g., toy bins that need more frequent cycles, drains with odor potential).
- Photo documentation as allowed (never including children; only non-sensitive areas) to demonstrate standards without privacy risks.
Scheduling That Matches Routines and Ratios
We align cleaning around your class schedules, nap windows, and staff ratios:
- Before-open reset: Rooms start the day sanitized, stocked, and organized.
- Mid-day touch-ups (Day Porter): Targeted disinfection of tables, chairs, toys in rotation, diapering stations after use, and hand-wash areas—without disrupting supervision.
- After-hours reset: Full-scope disinfection, floor care, trash/diaper waste handling, odor control, and toy/material cycles per schedule.
- Event/parent night coverage for presentations or open houses with on-call tidying.
Material-Safe Methods for Child-Centric Finishes
We match tools to surfaces that get heavy use and frequent wiping:
- Rubber/LVT floors: Neutral daily cleaner; periodic machine scrub for traction; no slick residues.
- Carpet tiles and rugs: HEPA vacuuming; encapsulation for interim care; scheduled hot-water extraction to remove allergens and spills.
- Plastic/laminate furniture & cubbies: Non-abrasive cloths and residue-free agents that won’t leave films on little hands.
- Acrylic windows/guards: Anti-static, ammonia-free cleaners to prevent clouding/crazing.
- Stainless/brass hardware: Fingerprint control and polish cycles without harsh odors.
Metro Detroit Seasonality: Plan for Weather & Illness Cycles
- Winter: Increased salt/moisture control at entries; enhanced high-touch disinfection during cold/flu spikes.
- Spring: Pollen/dust patrol on vents, sills, and shelves; carpet extraction to refresh IAQ.
- Summer: Odor management in diapering/wet areas; extra mat cycles for water play days.
- Fall: Back-to-school ramp-up with heightened toy rotation and hand-wash station sanitizing.

FAQs
Do you disinfect toys every day?
We set a rotation schedule: high-risk/mouthable toys in infant/toddler rooms are disinfected more frequently; other bins follow a documented cadence (daily to weekly). We label bins and track completions so staff and parents can see the routine.
What products do you use around children?
We use EPA-listed disinfectants suitable for child environments and can specify low-VOC, fragrance-free options. Dwell times are observed, and surfaces are wiped to remove residues where appropriate—especially on tables and toys.
Can you clean during class hours without disrupting ratios?
Yes. Our Day Porter loops are designed for quick, quiet, and compliant touch-ups. We coordinate with the site lead to service hand-wash stations, diapering areas, and high-touch points during natural transitions (recess, circle time, or outdoor play) to avoid interference with supervision.
