Why Wellington Schools Trust Clean Planet Wellington

Wellington schools choose Clean Planet Wellington for cleaning that prioritizes student health and safety while maintaining the rigorous standards educators demand.

Ministry of Justice Checked Staff - Safety You Can Trust

Every Clean Planet Wellington staff member is Ministry of Justice - checked and reference-verified before entering any school facility. We understand the importance of student safety in educational environments and maintain the highest vetting standards in the industry.

Our safety protocols include:

  • MOJ police vetting for all staff (renewed regularly)

  • Reference verification from previous employers

  • Training in school safety procedures and protocols

  • Signed visitor policies for each school

  • Direct communication with school principals and property managers

  • Comprehensive public liability insurance

Student safety is non-negotiable. Wellington schools deserve cleaning staff they can trust completely.

Sensitive Choice Certified Products - Safe for Students with Asthma

Students with asthma and allergies are particularly vulnerable to harsh chemical cleaning products. Traditional school cleaners often use products that trigger respiratory issues, skin reactions, and allergic responses.

Clean Planet Wellington uses only Sensitive Choice certified products—independently tested and verified as safe for people with asthma, allergies, and respiratory sensitivities.

What this means for your school:

  • No toxic chemical exposure for students or staff

  • Improved indoor air quality in classrooms and common areas

  • Zero harsh fumes or lingering chemical odors

  • Products safe for students who touch cleaned surfaces

  • BioGro organic certification on some products

  • Manufactured in New Zealand using proprietary formulations

This isn't greenwashing. Sensitive Choice certification requires independent laboratory testing proving products are safe for vulnerable populations—including students with respiratory conditions.

Clean Planet Wellington is the only Wellington school cleaner operating under Sensitive Choice certification.

After-Hours Cleaning - No Disruption to Learning

Clean Planet Wellington specializes in after-hours school cleaning from 4pm-10pm, ensuring your facility is spotless before students arrive without disrupting the school day.

Scheduling options:

  • After school hours (4pm-7pm): Most common for schools

  • Evening cleaning (6pm-10pm): For schools with evening activities

  • Weekend deep cleans: Quarterly intensive cleaning

  • Holiday break cleaning: Deep cleaning during school holidays

  • Flexible scheduling: Work around your school events and calendar

We work around your schedule, not the other way around. Your students deserve a clean, healthy learning environment without interruptions to their education.

Wellington Schools We Clean
