Where the Approach Comes From

Healthcare-Inspired Cleaning for Childcare Environments

QualGroup was founded in 2014 by Vijo Madappilly Jose and Riya Cherian — healthcare professionals with backgrounds in nursing, infection prevention and infection control. That experience shaped the company's focus on infection prevention principles, hygiene, consistency and quality assurance. This doesn't mean a childcare centre is cleaned like a hospital. It means healthcare-inspired thinking applied to a methodology built for commercial facilities.

The exterior house clean service provided by QualGroup was excellent and reasonably priced. The team worked efficiently and carried out a thorough job. The house was sparkling after they had finished. We would have no hesitation using QualGroup again or recommending them for a house clean.
We are very fortunate and pleased with the cleaning services provided b y Harriet and the Customer Service we receive from Roland at QualGroup. The standard of cleaning is consistently excellent, and the office always feels fresh, tidy, and welcoming for both staff and visitors.
We truly appreciate the care taken in maintaining our workspace and would highly recommend their services to anyone looking for a thorough and dependable cleaner.
What a great job done, it’s one of those jobs I have half pie always done for myself but never managed to get it done properly or fully. To see all my gutters clean inside and out along with the roof and house with soft wash done, and looking so good was honestly like having a load taken off my shoulders and add to that the spider spray done means I won’t have the worry of the pesky white tails I seem to get in the house thru summer. I have never ever seen the exterior of my house look so clean and tidy. Simple easy communication from quote thru to completion of the job. Thanks guys I’ll book again next year

Frequently Asked Questions

What does childcare cleaning include?

QualGroup provides tailored childcare cleaning programmes covering the areas that matter most in a busy childcare environment. Depending on the agreed scope, services can include classrooms, play areas, high-touch points, bathrooms, staff areas, common spaces and floors. Specialist services such as carpet cleaning, hard floor care, sanitisation and decontamination can also be added where required.

How often should a childcare centre be cleaned?

There is no single cleaning frequency that suits every childcare centre. QualGroup assesses factors such as centre size, daily activity, high-traffic areas, operating hours and specific hygiene requirements before developing a site-specific programme. This can include daily, regular, periodic deep cleaning or specialist services.

Can office cleaning be scheduled before or after business hours?

Yes. QualGroup offers flexible childcare cleaning schedules, including after-hours and weekend cleaning. Scheduling the service around your centre’s operating hours can help minimise disruption to children, teachers and daily activities. 24/7 emergency cleaning support is also available when urgent cleaning requirements arise.

Do you clean high-touch surfaces?

Yes. High-touch point cleaning can be incorporated into the QualGroup childcare cleaning programme based on the centre’s site assessment. Commonly used touchpoints can be identified and prioritised according to the centre’s layout, activities and agreed cleaning requirements.

Do you provide childcare carpet cleaning?

Yes. QualGroup provides specialist carpet cleaning for childcare centres as part of its wider interior specialist cleaning services. Carpet cleaning can be scheduled as a standalone service or incorporated into an ongoing cleaning programme depending on the condition and requirements of the facility.

Do you provide hard floor care?

Yes. QualGroup provides hard floor cleaning and specialist floor care based on the type, condition and usage of the flooring. Appropriate cleaning methods and equipment are selected as part of the agreed site-specific programme rather than applying the same process to every floor.

Do you provide sanitisation and decontamination?

Yes. QualGroup provides sanitisation and decontamination services for childcare and other commercial environments. Its approach is informed by the infection prevention and infection control experience of founders Vijo Madappilly Jose and Riya Cherian, both of whom have healthcare backgrounds. The service is adapted for commercial and childcare environments rather than treating them like hospital facilities.

What cleaning products does QualGroup use?

QualGroup uses Green Seal-certified eco-friendly products and appropriate cleaning solutions selected according to the cleaning requirement and surface. Its High-Performance Cleaning methodology also incorporates non-toxic cleaning solutions and TGA-approved disinfectants where appropriate, supporting a structured approach to hygiene and safer facility care.

How does QualGroup maintain consistent cleaning standards?

QualGroup combines structured staff training, a site-specific cleaning programme and quality assurance processes to maintain consistent standards. Its QualClean Academy, established in 2020, provides structured professional cleaning training, while the High-Performance Cleaning methodology includes UV fluorescence quality audits to help assess cleaning effectiveness. QualGroup is also ISO 9001:2015 certified and holds SHE Pre-Qual and SiteWise accreditation

Why is QualGroup's approach different from standard childcare cleaning?

QualGroup applies healthcare-inspired cleaning principles to childcare environments. The company was founded in 2014 by healthcare professionals with experience in nursing, infection prevention and infection control. Its High-Performance Cleaning methodology combines structured cleaning practices, staff training, quality assurance and appropriate equipment to support consistent hygiene standards across commercial facilities.
