Rise and Shine keeps schools across Queenstown and Christchurch clean and safe, using non-toxic products trusted around children every day.
During term, students heavily use classrooms, corridors, and cafeterias. Our classroom cleaning teams work around school hours, using safe, non-toxic products so learning spaces stay healthy without disrupting the school day.
Schools carry a different kind of pressure than most commercial spaces. Children touch everything, illness spreads fast, and holidays are often the only window for deep cleaning. We plan around your term calendar, not the other way round.
Schools need cleaning that protects children without exposing them to harsh chemicals. Our approach uses non-toxic, allergy-aware products and methods built around the standards New Zealand education settings expect.

— OUR EDUCATION CLEANING SYSTEM
Scheduled Cleaning Designed For Educational Campuses
We know a school can’t stop for cleaning during the day. Our schedules work around lesson times, assemblies, and holiday breaks, using child-safe methods that protect students while keeping the whole campus consistently clean throughout the term.
School-aligned scheduling
Cleaning schedules are aligned with lessons, assemblies, and school holidays.
Child-safe cleaning methods
Every product used is non-toxic and safe for young students.
Dedicated education teams
The same trained team returns for every scheduled school clean.
Clean Learning Spaces With Environmental Integrity
Keeping a school clean shouldn’t come at the planet’s expense. We favour non-toxic, biodegradable products and reduce single-use plastic packaging wherever possible, giving students a healthier campus and supporting the environmental values many schools teach in the classroom.
Child-safe cleaning
Every product is chosen with young, developing bodies in mind.
Reduced plastic waste
We cut down on single-use plastic packaging wherever we can.

Educational ESG goals
Our cleaning supports the sustainability goals many schools now set.
