Let’s Talk School Cleaning

Not sure what kind of support you need? We’ll walk you through options, pricing, and how to make the most of your janitorial budget.

Clean Classrooms. Healthy Students.

Peace of Mind.

We help private and charter schools maximize resources and improve efficiency with smart, flexible cleaning support.
AUGMENT YOUR IN-HOUSE JANITORIAL TEAM

Many schools have internal janitors but still fall short on coverage — especially after-hours or during big events. That’s often because outsourced cleaning companies offer one-size-fits-all services.

Vanguard Cleaning Systems of Minnesota takes a different approach.
Our franchise teams integrate seamlessly with your staff to handle concerts, games, tournaments, and weekend events — saving you time, money, and headaches.

We also offer:

  • Post-event tear-down and cleanup

  • Seasonal deep cleans and floor maintenance

  • Flexible billing and budget alignment

EXPERT CLEANING MATCHED TO YOUR SCHOOL

With 70+ franchise owners, we handpick a cleaning team tailored to your school’s size, schedule, and specific needs. Each team meets high standards for service, consistency, and adaptability.

GREEN CLEANING FOR HEALTHIER STUDENTS

Our teams follow eco-conscious cleaning protocols aligned with the Healthy Schools Campaign and NAEYC standards.

ACCIDENT PREVENTION

Proper matting and routine floor care help reduce slip-and-fall incidents — protecting your students, staff, and visitors.

SAFETY & SECURITY YOU CAN TRUST
  • Extended background checks on school-assigned crews

  • Optional VIRTUS® training for child abuse prevention

CUSTOMIZED, STRESS-FREE SUPPORT

Why wrestle with rigid contracts or cookie-cutter cleaning plans?

We adapt to your calendar, not the other way around.
Let us handle the mess so you can focus on your students, not your janitorial schedule.

READ VANGUARD CLEANING REVIEWS

“We chose Vanguard after meeting with Randy and Paul, and it’s been a great decision. Jesús and his team are professional, proactive, and consistently deliver quality service. They perform regular quality checks and quickly resolve any rare issues. I’d rate Vanguard 10/10 for both implementation and ongoing service. Paul’s leadership and Jesús’s day-to-day work have made this school year run smoothly.”
