Creating safe, clean and welcoming places to learn
Orian Solutions delivers education cleaning services across schools, academies and colleges throughout the North of England. Our teams work in primary and secondary environments in Cumbria, Lancashire, Manchester, Liverpool, Leeds, York, Sheffield, Newcastle, Durham and Middlesbrough.

Education Cleaning
Cleaning designed for busy school days
Education settings require structured routines and attention to detail. Corridors, classrooms, entrances and toilets experience heavy footfall and need to be kept hygienic from morning to afternoon. We design cleaning schedules that work around lesson times, school events and after school activities. Our approach helps keep environments safe for pupils, teachers, support staff and visitors.
Our education cleaning includes
- Daily classroom and teaching area cleaning
- Washroom and hygiene management
- Dining hall cleaning before and after service
- Touchpoint cleaning throughout the day
- Corridor, entrance and communal area cleaning
- End-of-day routines for teaching and office spaces
- Waste removal and recycling support
- Deep cleaning during school holidays or closures
