Periodic cleaning is deeper, less frequent work that sits outside routine daily and weekly cleaning — carpet extraction, hard floor scrubbing and sealing, high-level dusting, glass cleaning and specialist tasks. It's typically delivered during school holidays, when access isn't limited to before or after the school day. This planner helps site managers and estates teams turn a holiday window into a realistic, prioritised task list with indicative hours — a structured starting point to confirm on site, not a guaranteed programme of work. 1 Site Details 2 Period 3 Tasks 4 Allocation 5 Report ## Site Details Tell us about your school so we can recommend the right tasks.

A periodic plan draws from the categories this tool already supports — not every school needs every task, and the planner filters its task library by your school type: Washroom deep cleaning Floor care (carpets, hard floors) Internal glass and windows High-level cleaning Halls and sports halls Specialist areas (labs, workshops, kitchens) Nursery/primary-specific tasks Secondary/college specialist rooms ## How do you plan cleaning across school holidays? Holiday planning works best as a simple sequence: start from your available time, identify the priority tasks for your site type, factor in realistic task durations, and only then allocate the available hours across the task list. Available time Priority tasks Site type Task duration Available hours Practical allocation ## How much time should be allowed for a school deep clean? It depends on the number and type of areas involved — for example a toilet deep clean typically allows around 1.25 hours per toilet, while a hall floor machine scrub can take around 3 hours per hall. These are ICS planning assumptions embedded in this planner's task library, not universal industry standards, and the planner allocates indicative hours per task based on your site profile and available holiday window. **Limitations:** The indicative hours are a planning guide, not a guaranteed programme. Real hours depend on floor types, building access, condition and equipment. Task prioritisation should be confirmed on site, especially where holiday windows are tight. ## About ICS Cleaning ICS Cleaning has delivered contract cleaning across Yorkshire & Lincolnshire for over 30 years, with education cleaning as a core specialism.
