Frisco Brothers Janitorial Service provides school cleaning services for private and charter schools in Frisco, McKinney, Allen, and the surrounding cities in Collin and Denton counties, covering classrooms, gymnasiums, cafeterias, hallways, and restrooms on weeknight after-hours schedules. School cleaning accounts operate on two rhythms: routine maintenance during the academic year and a full floor cycle during summer break, including strip-and-wax on hallway and gymnasium floors and carpet extraction in classrooms and common areas. Every crew member on a school account has passed a background check and reference check before their first day on a school site. Frisco Brothers has served 65+ active clients since March 2001, bonded through Hartford Insurance, with a staff of 26+ and a 5.0 rating across 56 Google reviews.

What School Cleaning Covers
A private school building typically spans several thousand square feet of VCT tile hallway floors, classrooms, a gymnasium, a cafeteria, and multiple restroom banks. Frisco Brothers cleans each of these zones as part of a tailored school account, not a one-size office contract.
Routine commercial cleaning
- Commercial office cleaning (admin offices, principal’s office, faculty lounge, front desk)
- Day porter services (for schools that need between-period or after-lunch common area support)
- Eco-friendly cleaning
Floor and surface care
Glass and exterior
Specialty
- Move-in and move-out cleaning (facility transition deep cleaning; relevant when a charter school changes buildings)
Scope is customized per facility. A walk-through determines the right cadence and zone assignments based on the school’s square footage and space mix. The summer floor cycle, including strip-and-wax and carpet extraction, is covered in detail in the section below.
Scheduling Around the School Day and the Academic Year
School cleaning is not the same scheduling problem as cleaning an office building. An office empties at six. A school empties at dismissal, then fills again for athletics, parent nights, fundraisers, and after-school programs. The janitorial schedule has to account for all of it.
All routine maintenance is performed after dismissal, once students and staff have left the building. Crews do not arrive during instructional hours. There is no overlap between cleaning operations and the school day.
Event scheduling is built into the contract. Private and charter schools run evening events throughout the academic year: sports practices in the gymnasium, cafeteria fundraisers, and parent-night programs in common areas. The service calendar accounts for those windows so a crew does not arrive during an active event. When the school’s schedule changes mid-year, Frisco Brothers adjusts the cleaning schedule to match.
For schools that need active-hours support, day porter service adds cafeteria turnover between lunch periods, restroom checks during the school day, and common-area maintenance between classes. Day porter coverage is a separate add-on to the standard after-hours contract for educational facilities that require it.
The summer break window is when the annual floor cycle happens. Private and charter schools starting in August need classroom carpets extracted and hallway floors stripped and rewaxed before faculty return. Scheduling for the summer floor cycle should begin no later than June. A hard back-to-school deadline leaves no room for late bookings.
Summer Break: Strip-and-Wax, Carpet Extraction, Deep Cleaning
Summer break is the most operationally significant window in a school janitorial contract. When the building is empty for 10 to 12 weeks, the floor-care and deep-cleaning work that cannot happen during the academic year without disrupting school operations gets done correctly.
School hallway floors accumulate a full academic year of foot traffic, scuff marks, and worn finish before summer. VCT tile hallways and gymnasium floors require more than routine mopping. A proper strip removes the accumulated old coats of floor finish down to the bare tile. The floor is then rebuilt, coat by coat, back to a clean and durable surface. Mark McGlothlin’s standard for a school hallway floor is 4 to 5 coats of finish, with hours of drying time between each coat. On a large school building, this is a multi-day job that can only be scheduled correctly when the facility is empty. The full floor stripping and waxing service description, including coat counts and drying timelines, is on the service page.
Gymnasium floors receive the same strip-and-rewax treatment. A gym floor takes heavy traffic from physical education classes, sports practices, and after-school events throughout the academic year. The strip-and-rewax cycle during summer break restores the floor to a condition students can use without slipping on degraded finish.
Classrooms and common areas with carpet accumulate a full year of tracked-in soil, food particles, and general traffic residue. Summer break is the right window for professional carpet extraction before the new academic year begins. Carpets cleaned in August stay cleaner longer through the school year than carpets that carry residue from one year into the next.
Erik Larrson, Frisco Brothers’ floor technician with more than 30 years of floor-care experience, handles strip-and-wax and carpet extraction work on school accounts. He operates a truck-mounted extraction system and commercial floor equipment sized for the square footage a school building requires. Brian McGlothlin, who has worked alongside Erik for 10 years, handles floor and carpet jobs as well. Floor work is their primary scope, not a fill-in task.
Beyond floors, the summer visit covers restroom deep cleaning, cafeteria detail cleaning, and hard-to-reach surfaces in hallways and common areas that get deferred during the active school year. The full scope of the summer block is set during the walk-through, based on the facility’s square footage and condition.
Schools expecting floors completed before the August faculty return date should reach out by June. Summer scheduling fills, and facilities with a hard back-to-school deadline cannot wait until July.
Why Private and Charter Schools Choose Frisco Brothers
For a school administrator, the standard for a janitorial vendor is different from the standard for an office facilities manager. The building contains student records, personal property, and people who are responsible for children. The vendor must be accountable before the first crew member sets foot in the building.
Every crew member working a school account has passed a background check and reference check before their first day on a school site. Mark McGlothlin personally approves each hire. The full hiring and inspection process is on the about page. For school accounts, the practical implication is this: no crew member works unsupervised in a classroom, administrative office, or common area with student records and personal property present until they have cleared both checks and been onboarded by a supervisor.
Mark and Sandra McGlothlin are personally active in cleaning client facilities. A school administrator is not handing an empty building over to an anonymous pool of contract workers. When something is off, there is a direct line to the owners who made the hire. The same crew that handles the summer floor cycle maintains the building through the academic year, which means they know the facility layout before September arrives.
Schools are not month-to-month accounts. The right custodial vendor shows up year after year with the same crew, the same standards, and the same knowledge of the building. The active client base has been maintained since 2001. That retention record reflects the vendor stability a school expects from a long-term facilities partner.
The company is bonded and insured, with a certificate of insurance available on request for schools that require it for their facilities vendor records. Consistently 5-star rated, there are no negative reviews across 25 years of operation.

Frequently Asked Questions About School Cleaning
Do you clean private schools and charter schools near Frisco, TX?
Yes. Yes. Private and charter schools in Frisco, McKinney, Allen, and the surrounding cities in Collin and Denton counties are all served. Public ISD accounts, including Frisco ISD, McKinney ISD, and Allen ISD, are typically handled through district-level custodial contracts. Private and charter school administrators make the facilities decision at the building or board level, which is where Frisco Brothers works directly.
When is the right time to schedule the summer floor work?
No later than June, ideally earlier. Confirming dates and crew availability for summer strip-and-wax and carpet extraction before the calendar fills is the difference between getting the floor cycle done before August and missing the window entirely. Some schools wait until July and find the dates they need are already taken. For a school with a hard back-to-school deadline, that is a real risk.
Are your staff background-checked before working in a school building?
Yes. Background and reference checks are completed on every hire before their first visit to a school site. Mark McGlothlin personally approves each hire. The full process is at /about/hiring-and-inspection.
How is school cleaning priced?
The size of the facility and the scope of the summer floor work are the two largest variables. A school with 20 classrooms and long VCT tile hallways requires significantly more strip-and-wax time than a smaller private school with carpeted common areas. Routine maintenance frequency (daily, weekly, or bi-weekly) also factors into the annual contract. The walk-through sets the scope and the estimate before any contract is signed.
Do you use cleaning products that are safe for a school environment?
Yes. An eco-friendly cleaning option using non-harsh products throughout the facility is available on request. For school accounts, eco-friendly cleaning is available on request at no additional charge. No harsh chemical residues are left in classrooms, hallways, or common areas where students spend the school day.
Are you bonded and insured?
Yes. The company is bonded through Hartford Insurance. A certificate of insurance is available on request for schools that require documentation for their facilities vendor records.
Can you handle both the school-year routine cleaning and the summer floor work under one contract?
Yes. Most school accounts include both: routine maintenance during the academic year and the summer floor cycle as a scheduled block. The walk-through covers both phases, and the contract can be structured to include summer strip-and-wax, carpet extraction, and deep cleaning as a defined annual scope item.
