Why Schools Choose Eco-Certified Cleaning Partners

Back to News
Monday, 1st September, 2025

Keeping schools clean is about more than appearance. A safe and hygienic learning environment protects students, supports teachers, and reflects well on the school. Today, many schools are also focused on sustainability. They want cleaning partners who can maintain hygiene without harming the environment. 

Eco certified cleaning companies meet these needs. They use products and methods tested to be safe for people and the planet. Here’s why schools are moving towards these services and what makes Comclean a trusted partner.

What Does Eco Certified Mean 


Eco certification is an independent approval process. It confirms that cleaning products and processes meet strict environmental standards. In Australia, one of the most recognised certifications is GECA (Good Environmental Choice Australia). 

GECA certified products are: 
  • Less toxic for students and staff 
  • Designed to reduce water and energy use 
  • Packaged and disposed of in a safer way 

 At Comclean, we use GECA certified products across all school sites. This means our cleaning solutions are safer for classrooms, common areas, and playgrounds, without compromising results. They also contribute to a high-quality finish that schools can rely on. 
 

Why Sustainability Matters for Schools 


Schools are more than places where students learn. They are at the heart of their communities and play a key role in setting an example for sustainable practices. Every decision a school makes, including how it manages cleaning, sends a clear message about its values and priorities. Choosing sustainable cleaning helps schools demonstrate these values in several ways. 

Protecting Student Health 
Many students experience asthma or allergies, and strong chemical smells or residue can make these conditions worse. Using safer eco-friendly products lowers this risk. Cleaner air and surfaces support focus, reduce discomfort and create a healthier school and safer school for everyone on campus. 

Reducing Environmental Impact 
Eco certified cleaning reduces waste and pollution. The products break down safely and equipment uses less water and energy. For schools with green programs or recycling initiatives, this approach fits naturally. 

Supporting School Values 
Most schools now include sustainability in their curriculum. A cleaning program that reflects those values reinforces what students are learning in the classroom and helps maintain a school environment that supports wellbeing. 


Meeting Health and Safety Standards 


Schools must follow strict health and safety rules, and cleaning plays a key role in meeting these requirements. Eco certified cleaning supports compliance by: 
  • Maintaining hygiene across classrooms, bathrooms, kitchens, and other common areas 
  • Using colour coded tools to avoid cross contamination 
  • Disinfecting high touchpoints like door handles to reduce germ spread 
  • Providing clear records for audits and inspections 

 Comclean is certified to ISO 9001, 14001 and 45001 standards. These international certifications cover quality, environmental responsibility, and workplace safety. Schools know they are partnering with a provider that understands compliance and delivers to the highest standards every time. 


Why Schools Partner with Comclean 


Comclean provides commercial cleaning for schools across Australia, including primary and secondary schools, childcare centres and vocational campuses. With over 20 years of experience, we understand the needs of educational environments and tailor our services to suit them. 

Tailored Cleaning Schedules

Eco Certified Products 
We use cleaning products that are both effective and environmentally safe. This includes our preferred range of GECA certified products, which are proven to clean without harsh chemicals.

Added Benefits of Specialist Services for Schools 


While daily cleaning is essential, some areas of a school need more attention. Comclean offers specialist services to support these needs. 

Window Cleaning 
Clean windows allow more natural light into classrooms and libraries. This creates a brighter and more welcoming space for students and teachers. Our window cleaning service is designed to safely clean windows in multi-level school buildings. 

High Traffic Areas 
Hallways, playgrounds and common areas often need extra care. Our team uses equipment and products suited to these surfaces, helping them stay safe and clean year-round. 

Emergency Support 
Schools sometimes face unexpected cleaning needs, like storm damage or spills. We provide fast-response cleaning to get facilities back to normal quickly. 
 

Why Eco Certified Cleaning Makes a Difference 


Eco certified cleaning is not just about being “green.” It creates safer spaces and supports better outcomes for students and teachers. Cleaner air can improve focus. Hygienic surfaces reduce the spread of germs. Sustainable practices align with community values and future-focused learning. 

Schools that choose eco certified cleaning show they care about more than the basics. They show a commitment to health, safety, and responsible management of resources. 


Building Healthy Learning Environments 


Partnering with an eco-certified cleaning provider is more than a business decision. This choice represents a step towards creating healthier and more sustainable learning environments. 

By working with Comclean, schools can trust that hygiene, sustainability and compliance are covered. This allows leadership teams to focus on what matters most: education.
