I quoted for a group of nursery's. I had a little help from someone who ran one. You have got to use bio degradable cleaners, non toxic, non bleach etc etc and risk asess everthing and have full cosh details. Other than that its a sinch!

Whatever you use, rinse and rinse again. Kids are into touching, feeling, licking, etc, and as well as the damage ingestion of cleaning products can do to the child in question, a build-up of product can allow germs to fester and breed......i was once told about an outbreak of sickness and dioreah in one such place could not be controlled until the day someone (a cleaner of many years and with much experience) walked in and said "its the window, thats the problem."

What she was refering to was a glass window which seperated two rooms, the windows of which the children (special needs) were inclined to put thier hands all over and also lick 

With deep-cleaning of this area to remove all germs and cleaning product, the S&D was bought under control.

Quite honestly, if a job like this is not a regular one, i'd question how much i needed to do it if you're not 100% sure how to go about it. Were it me, i'd be doing my homework too as i'm also not completley sure  either.

i run an eco-friendly cleaning company (http://www.greencleansolution.co.uk/) and i'm about to clean a school for little kids, thought you'd like some advice on decent cleaning products we will be/have been using since start up

bio-d range,
method,
bentley organic,
earth friendly
dri-pak


bio-d do a good toilet cleaner but not nicest smelling, all method products are great but way over priced as they use "nice" bottles, dri-pak do baking soda/borax for great bio-degradable cleaning, cheap vinergar from tesco is good for making window cleaner/all purpose cleaner/limescale remover (google vinergar uses), lemon juice from tesco again very good natural safe cleaning product

we make our own products so can give advice on our favorites if you want as the ingredients are very simple.

Thanks for the advice.The make your own all sounds a bit familiar kim and aggie?lol but saying that i do agree and have vinegar and bicarb also the recipe book of make your own cleaning solutions.

With home-made products, all i will say is be VERY careful where you use them, because there won't be a COSHH data sheet for a bottle of vinegar  and in  the event of a problem, you want to be able to back-up you methods and reasons why you used what you did.

I am not knocking home-made products at all, i do use certain things myself in the 'right' situation, what i am saying is make sure you cover your behind from all directions.
