A+ Cleanliness: Vaakawi Expands Educational Facility Services Nationwide

As August comes to a close, millions of students—from kindergarteners to college seniors—are heading back to the classroom. For parents and educators, the focus is on curriculum and supplies. But for facility managers, the focus is on a different challenge: Health.

Schools and universities are high-density environments where germs spread quickly. At Vaakawi, we believe that a healthy environment is a prerequisite for effective learning. That is why we are proud to announce the nationwide expansion of our Educational Institutions Division.

Keeping Students in the Classroom
Absenteeism due to illness is a major disruption to learning. Traditional "summer cleaning" isn't enough to carry a school through the winter flu season. Vaakawi is now partnering with school districts and university campuses across the country to implement proactive cleaning strategies that go beyond aesthetics.

Our educational program focuses on:

• High-Touch Sanitization: rigorous disinfection of desks, doorknobs, locker handles, and cafeteria tables.
• Green Cleaning for Little Lungs: We strictly utilize Green Seal-certified, low-VOC products to ensure good indoor air quality, protecting students with asthma or allergies.
• Floor Safety: Maintaining slip-resistant corridors and gymnasiums to prevent injuries in high-traffic zones.

Trusted Security
We understand that bringing external staff onto a school campus requires a high level of trust. Vaakawi has implemented stringent background check protocols and specialized training for all crews assigned to educational facilities. When you see a Vaakawi van on campus, you know that the staff inside have been vetted and trained to work safely in sensitive environments.

From Pre-K to PhD
Whether it is a local elementary school in Phoenix or a sprawling university campus on the East Coast, Vaakawi’s scalable solutions are designed to meet the unique budgetary and scheduling needs of the education sector.

We wish all students, teachers, and staff a safe, healthy, and successful 2023-2024 school year!
