How should we clean our schools?

Our schools need to be thoroughly cleaned because unfortunately schools are a breeding ground for germs, and it is important to stop the spread of germs as quickly as possible.

Cleaning must happen on a daily basis, and I have listed some of the most important cleaning activities needed in order to maintain a clean and healthy school environment - divided into the different parts of the school campus.

Classrooms, science labs etc

• Empty waste bins
• Wipe outsides of bins with a damp cloth
• Polish/ damp wipe tables and chairs
• Wipe/polish skirting boards, radiators and window ledges
• Clean any marks on walls
• Dust IT equipment
• Vacuum carpets
• Vacuum and mop hard floor

Toilets

• Vacuum and mop all floors and empty bins
• Machine scrub floors at least once per week
• Disinfect toilets
• Clean hand basins inc. Tap fittings
• Clean toilet seats and lids
• Clean mirrors
• Damp wipe exteriors of pedestals
• Damp wipe splash backs and any tiles at least once per week
• Damp wipe pipes and cisterns
• Replenish toilet rolls and soap

During school holidays wooden floors are waxed and the whole school should have an in depth clean.
