Cleaning

Section for Cleaning is responsible for all cleaning of the University’s own buildings and the University's rented premises.

All cleaning is eco-friendly and carried out in accordance with the UiO quality targets, meaning that after cleaning all fixtures, floors and walls have smooth, maintained surfaces, with no dirt, stains or spills.

Eco-friendly and effective cleaning

The Cleaning Section has a focus on environmentally friendly cleaning. They have largely transitioned to dry cleaning with minimal use of chemicals. When chemicals are used, they are environmentally friendly and Nordic Swan Ecolabel certified (Svanemerket).

The Cleaning Section has also adopted digital cleaning plans and deviation reports, meaning that they no longer print them on paper. In addition to this, they utilise robots in the cleaning process.
