Child Safety is Our Highest Priority

About This Service

Daycare & School Cleaning Services

Children’s environments require the most careful, conscientious approach to cleaning of any facility type. Young children touch everything, put things in their mouths, and have developing immune systems that are more vulnerable to pathogens than adults. At Cary Cleaning Pros, we provide specialized cleaning services for daycares, preschools, private schools, and after-school programs across the Greater Triangle with child safety at the foundation of everything we do.

We follow CDC and NAEYC (National Association for the Education of Young Children) guidelines for cleaning, sanitizing, and disinfecting early childhood settings. We understand the three-step process: clean first to remove dirt and debris, then sanitize to reduce germs to safe levels, then disinfect high-risk surfaces to kill remaining pathogens. This systematic approach, combined with child-safe, non-toxic products, ensures the healthiest possible environment for the children in your care.

Our daycare and school cleaning teams work after operating hours so children are never exposed to cleaning products or activities during the day. Every team member is background-checked and insured. We store all cleaning products securely and remove them completely before your facility opens. The safety and wellbeing of the children in your care is the standard we hold ourselves to on every visit.

Child-Safe Products & CDC Protocol  The Right Standard The EPA and CDC recommend specific cleaning and disinfection protocols for early childhood settings. We use EPA-registered, non-toxic cleaning products that are labeled safe for use around children  no harsh bleaches, ammonia, or synthetic fragrances that could harm developing respiratory systems. For disinfection when needed, we use properly diluted EPA-registered disinfectants at recommended concentrations and ensure full ventilation before children return. All products are stored locked and removed from the facility before opening.
