Why Clean Learning Environments Matter
A clean school is more than just aesthetically pleasing. It’s the foundation for learning, safety, and trust.
Education Facilities Services
In private secondary schools, colleges, and universities, cleanliness directly affects how students feel in the space, focused, respected, and ready to learn. It also plays a critical role in staff satisfaction, student retention, and even your reputation with families.
More importantly, many institutions now follow the APPA cleaning standards. These aren’t just boxes to check; they’re benchmarks for quality, health, and operational efficiency. And that’s where we come in.
Evergreen helps you meet (and exceed) those standards without adding extra work to your day. We’re not just cleaning; we’re helping you maintain an environment where students and staff can thrive.

Cleaning Plans That Actually Fit Your Campus
Every school is different. So we don’t show up with a template. We take the time to understand how your space works and what your students, staff, and facilities team need to keep things running.
APPA Standards in Action
Some schools need more than just clean floors and stocked washrooms. They need a custodial program that meets the APPA standard and actually sticks to it.
We’ve worked with institutions that follow APPA’s five levels of cleanliness, and we’re comfortable aligning our services to meet your exact level of need. Whether your goal is maintaining “Ordinary Tidiness” (Level 2) or achieving “Orderly Spotlessness” (Level 1), we build your service plan around it.
Our team is trained to deliver on those expectations day after day. That includes:
- Regular audits based on APPA benchmarks
- Detailed task schedules and zone cleaning systems
- Clear documentation to help your internal team report and stay compliant
We make APPA more than a checkbox; we turn it into a working system that supports your reputation, your staff, and your students.
Supporting Facilities Teams
We don’t just show up with a mop and bucket. We show up as part of your team.
At Evergreen, we know how much pressure facilities managers are under, juggling staffing, supply orders, last-minute requests, and everything in between. That’s why we make our role simple: take cleaning off your plate and make you look good while doing it.
We align with your internal workflows and reporting systems so you’re never left guessing. Our site supervisors are easy to reach, our crews are trained to handle high-traffic areas without disruption, and our communication stays clear from day one.
Need real-time updates? Adjustments for exam week? Extra eyes on the labs? We’ve got it covered.
Our job is to help your team do their job better and make you the hero in the process.
Sustainability Built In
Clean shouldn’t come at the cost of the planet.
At Evergreen, we believe schools can stay spotless and sustainable at the same time. That’s why we offer green cleaning options that support your environmental goals, whether you’re aiming for LEED credits or just trying to reduce your chemical footprint.
Our teams use EcoLogo and Green Seal-certified products wherever possible. We also provide training to ensure proper use and disposal, so your sustainability efforts don’t stop at the bottle.
From compostable liners to low-impact floor cleaners, we help you build a cleaner, greener campus without sacrificing performance.
Smart People. Solid Training. Fast Response
In a school setting, things don’t always go as planned. Spills happen. Systems break. Emergencies show up when you least expect them.
That’s why we train our staff for the real world, not just the job description.
At Evergreen, every team member goes through detailed onboarding and hands-on site training. We cover everything from chemical handling and health protocols to what to do when a washroom floods five minutes before a parent tour.
More importantly, we prep our people to think on their feet. Because when you’re responsible for cleaning a busy campus, the ability to stay calm and act fast matters.
Need someone who understands APPA protocols? We’ve got them.
Need extra disinfecting during flu season? We’re already on it.
Need help during a fire drill or lockdown? We’ve worked through that too.
Our crews know your campus, your standards, and your emergency procedures. And if something unexpected pops up, they don’t wait to be told what to do, they’re already doing it.

According to ISSA, facilities with well-trained custodial teams experience up to 30% fewer service disruptions related to cleaning emergencies.
