THE QUICK CLEANING SAFECHILD SYSTEM™: OUR 5-STEP DAYCARE SANITIZATION PROCESS
After 12+ years of serving Chicago-area daycares, we developed the Quick Clean SafeChild System™—a comprehensive cleaning methodology designed specifically for childcare environments where standard janitorial approaches fall short.
Step 1: Assessment
Zone Mapping Before cleaning begins, our team assesses your facility and creates a customized zone map identifying high-risk contamination areas, traffic patterns, and age-specific spaces (infant rooms require different protocols than toddler areas).
Step 2: Top-Down Debris Removal
We work from ceiling to floor, removing dust, cobwebs, and airborne particles before they can resettle on sanitized surfaces. This includes light fixtures, air vents, and elevated shelving often missed by standard cleaning services.
Step 3: High-Touch Surface Protocol
Using color-coded microfiber systems to prevent cross-contamination, we systematically sanitize every high-touch surface:
-Door handles and push plates
-Light switches and outlet covers
-Chair backs and table edges
-Cubbies and coat hooks
-Stair railings and safety gates
-Toy bins and storage containers
Step 4: Deep Sanitization with Proper Dwell Time
Unlike quick spray-and-wipe methods, we apply EPA-registered disinfectants and allow proper contact time (typically 1-10 minutes depending on the product) to achieve true pathogen elimination. This step is critical—wiping too soon renders disinfection ineffective.
Step 5: Final Inspection & Documentation
Every cleaning concludes with a walkthrough inspection and documented checklist. This documentation supports your DCFS compliance records and provides peace of mind that nothing was missed.

Daycare Cleaning FAQs
1. What does the daycare cleaning service include?
Our service covers classrooms, nap areas, restrooms, changing stations, playrooms, and common spaces. We offer both standard and deep cleaning options, with additional services like interior window cleaning, baseboards, cubby sanitation, and toy disinfection. Every service follows our Quick Clean SafeChild System™ methodology developed specifically for childcare environments.
2. Do you clean shared daycare spaces and multi-use facilities?
Yes, we provide custom cleaning plans for both private and shared childcare environments, including church-based daycares, community center programs, and facilities that share space with other organizations. Cleaning is tailored based on the number of classrooms, layout, occupancy, and your preferred frequency—daily, weekly, or monthly.
3. Can cleaning be scheduled during off-hours or closed days?
Absolutely. We offer flexible scheduling during weekends, holidays, or after pickup hours. We can also clean early mornings (before 6 AM drop-off) or late evenings to avoid disrupting daily childcare activities. Many of our daycare clients prefer weekend deep cleaning combined with lighter weekday maintenance.
4. Are cleaning supplies and equipment included?
Yes. All our services include eco-friendly, child-safe products, professional equipment, and trained staff. No hidden fees, and no need for your facility to provide any materials. We use EPA-registered disinfectants approved for childcare settings and never bring harsh chemicals that could harm children.
5. What’s the difference between cleaning, sanitizing, and disinfecting?
These terms are often confused but have important distinctions for daycare safety:
- Cleaning removes visible dirt, dust, and debris from surfaces
- Sanitizing reduces bacteria to safe levels as determined by public health standards
- Disinfecting kills viruses and bacteria on surfaces when proper contact time is achieved
Our daycare cleaning services include all three levels, with disinfection focused on high-touch surfaces and areas with higher contamination risk.
6. How often should a daycare be professionally cleaned?
The CDC recommends daily cleaning and sanitizing of high-touch surfaces in childcare settings. Most of our daycare clients use a combination approach: daily or every-other-day standard cleaning with weekly or bi-weekly deep cleaning services. Infant rooms and facilities with children under 2 typically require more frequent service.
7. What products do you use around children?
We exclusively use EPA-registered disinfectants from the EPA’s List N (products effective against common pathogens) that are also approved for use in environments where children are present. Our products are fragrance-free or lightly scented, non-toxic when dry, and leave no harmful residues on surfaces children touch or mouth.
8. Do you help with DCFS inspection preparation?
Yes. Our cleaning protocols are designed to meet or exceed Illinois DCFS sanitation requirements for licensed childcare facilities. We can provide cleaning documentation and checklists that support your compliance records. Many clients schedule deep cleaning services before scheduled DCFS inspections.
9. How do you prevent cross-contamination between rooms?
We use a color-coded microfiber system where different colored cloths and mop heads are designated for specific areas (restrooms, kitchens, classrooms). Equipment is never shared between bathrooms and food areas. Our team changes gloves between spaces and follows strict protocols to prevent spreading germs from one area to another.
10. Can you clean and sanitize toys?
Yes. Toy sanitization is one of our most requested add-on services. We clean hard plastic toys with EPA-registered disinfectants, and we can advise on soft toy washing protocols or recommend removal of items that cannot be properly sanitized. For outbreak situations, we provide guidance on toy quarantine periods.
11. What areas are considered “high-touch” in a daycare?
High-touch surfaces in daycares include door handles, light switches, faucet handles, toilet flush levers, cabinet pulls, stair railings, chair backs, table edges, toy bins, cubby edges, and any surface at child height that multiple children contact throughout the day. These surfaces require disinfection, not just cleaning.
12. Do you offer green or eco-friendly cleaning options?
Yes. We offer eco-friendly cleaning packages using Green Seal certified and EPA Safer Choice products. These products are effective against germs while being environmentally responsible and gentler for children with sensitivities. Ask about our green cleaning options when requesting your quote.
