Classroom carpets, reading corners and nursery floors take a full day of small feet, spills and glue, then do it all again tomorrow. Getting them properly clean, without losing a single teaching hour, is a job in itself. Here is how we do it.
Yes, we clean schools and nurseries, around your calendar.
We deep-clean carpets and soft flooring during holidays, inset days and weekends, with child-safe products rinsed out, so rooms are ready when children return.

The Reality of School and Nursery Floors
A classroom carpet is one of the hardest-working floors there is. Thirty pairs of feet cross it every hour. Children sit on it for carpet time, lie on it to read, and build on it at floor level.
Add wet coats in winter, sand and water play, snack time and the odd paint pot, and the fibre takes more in a term than most home carpets take in a year.
Nursery and pre-school floors are used even harder, and closer to the ground. Reading corners, soft-play mats and cosy nooks are where the youngest children spend most of the day, face down in the pile. Spills, food, paint and glue all end up there, and a quick vacuum barely touches what has worked its way deep into the fibre.
What A Term Leaves Behind
This is what builds up in the fibre between deep cleans, well below what a daily hoover can lift. It is exactly the load a proper clean is built to remove.
- Ground-in traffic lanes at doorways and between tables
- Spilled juice, milk and squash dried into the pile
- Paint, glue and craft residue on the reading-corner carpet
- Food crumbs and snack-time mess trodden in over weeks
- Trapped dust and grit brought in on shoes and coats
- A tired, flat, grey look no amount of hoovering shifts
A clean floor is not just about how the room looks. It is the surface your youngest children spend their day on.
Why a Clean Floor Children Sit On Matters
The floor is furniture in a nursery. Children learn, eat and play on it, so it is worth getting genuinely clean, not just tidied.
In a home, the carpet takes the family. In a nursery or reception class, it takes the whole day: circle time, story time, floor play and the after-lunch quiet spell. The children are down at pile level far more than adults ever are, which is why a genuinely clean, hygienic floor is worth the effort rather than a surface tidy.
A deep clean lifts out the trapped soil, food residue and dust that a daily vacuum leaves behind, and finishes with our Gold Musk deodorise so the room smells fresh rather than of the last spill.
To be clear, a clean floor is a sensible hygiene measure, not a medical or illness-prevention claim, and we would never dress it up as one. It simply gives children a cleaner, fresher surface to spend their day on.
The reading corner came up like new, and the whole room smelled fresh again. The staff noticed straight away.
Cleaning Around Your Term Dates
This is the part that matters most to a school office. The cleaning has to happen without costing a single teaching hour, so we build the job around your calendar, not the other way round.
In practice that means holidays, inset days and weekends. We agree the dates well in advance, work to them, and leave each room ready for children to return. For a larger setting we can phase the work room by room across a break so the whole site is done without anything grinding to a halt.
- Half-term and end-of-term holidays for the bigger, whole-site cleans
- Inset days and teacher-training days for individual rooms
- Weekends where a room needs turning around before Monday
- Dates agreed in advance and worked to, so nothing disrupts teaching
We work to your calendar, not ours. Give us the term dates and inset days, and we will fit the clean into the gaps. Drying usually takes around four hours, and where a room is needed sooner we can prioritise same-day drying so it is ready when teaching resumes.
Safe Products and a Thorough Rinse
When children sit and play on a floor, what is left in the fibre matters as much as what comes out of it. Our whole method is built so nothing harsh stays behind where the youngest children spend their day.
Our products are WoolSafe-approved, which means they are independently tested as safe for delicate fibres and for the people living on them.
They are used at the correct dilution, then thoroughly rinsed and extracted back out, so the floor is left clean and near-dry rather than coated in residue. The bulk of the work is done by hot water and powerful extraction, not by soaking chemicals into the pile.
A Rushed, Cheap Clean
- Harsh products left soaking in the fibre
- Residue where children sit and play
- Over-wet floors out of use for days
Our Approach
- WoolSafe-approved products at the correct dilution
- Thoroughly rinsed and extracted, no residue left behind
- Controlled moisture, a clean near-dry surface
We are happy to share the safety data sheet for anything we use, and if a mark needs something stronger we will always tell you before we use it. For a school or setting, that openness is part of the standard, not an extra.
Planning A Holiday Clean?
Tell us the rooms, the floor types and your term dates, and we will put together a clear plan and quote that fits into the break. Take your time deciding.
What We Clean in a School or Setting
Most settings have a mix of surfaces, and we clean the lot. It is worth walking us round so we can quote for everything in one visit rather than piecemeal.
Classroom and hall carpets, reading corners and cosy nooks, soft-play mats and nursery floors, corridors and staff rooms, plus any hard floors and tiled areas that need bringing back. Where a setting has upholstered book-corner seating or soft furniture, we can clean that too, so the whole room is done together.
Rooms & HallsClassroom, hall and corridor carpets deep-cleaned and groomed.
Reading CornersCosy nooks, soft-play mats and nursery floors at child level.
Tiles & GroutHard floors and tiled areas cleaned back to a fresh finish.
Book-Corner SeatsUpholstered seating and soft furniture cleaned in the same visit.
Our Cleaning Process
It is not one step. It is a simple sequence built to get a hard-working floor genuinely clean and back in use quickly.
Inspect & Spot TestWe walk the rooms, check the fibres and spot-test a hidden area before we start.
Deep CleanDry vacuum, agitate and pre-spray, then hot water extraction lifts the trapped soil out.
Freshen & DryGold Musk deodorise, then controlled airflow so the room dries in hours, not days.
Ready To ReturnGroomed, checked and left ready, so the room is usable again when teaching resumes.
School and nursery floors take constant use, and a proper deep clean gets them genuinely clean and fresh again. We work around your term dates so teaching is never disrupted, use child-safe products that are thoroughly rinsed out, and leave rooms ready to return to. It is a hygiene measure done properly, nothing more claimed than that.
Why Prestige Refresh
When settings tell us why they chose us, the same four reasons come up. They are the standard we hold every job to.

Quick Answers
Can you clean a school or nursery around term dates?
Yes. We schedule around your calendar, working through holidays, inset days and weekends so there is no disruption to teaching. We agree the dates in advance and work to them, leaving rooms ready for children to return.
Are the products safe for classrooms where children sit and play?
Yes. Our products are WoolSafe-approved and used at the correct dilution, then thoroughly rinsed and extracted so nothing harsh is left in the fibre where children sit and play. A clean, hygienic floor is a sensible measure, not a medical or illness-prevention claim.
How quickly do the carpets dry so rooms are ready for use?
Drying usually takes around four hours, though it can range from one to twelve depending on the material and airflow. Where a room is needed sooner, we can prioritise same-day drying so the space is ready when teaching resumes.
How does invoicing work for a school or setting?
We provide a clear written quote before any work, then a clean itemised invoice made out to the school or setting, with the details your bursar or office needs for their records. The price quoted is the price paid.
