Five Cleaning Tips For Schools
Here are 5 tips for cleaning your school so it looks like you never left. Would you prefer to spend the first few days of school cleaning in auckland?
1. Make a cleaning checklist.
Checklists will help you to accomplish all of your tasks. List the areas that need to be cleaned, and mark whether they are completed or not. You can also create a list of all the materials you own so you know what you need.
2. Clean on the go.
Before the school year ends, it is essential to clean your classroom. Start by clearing the floor of desks and chairs so that there is more space. During the school year, germs and bacteria accumulate on surfaces and floors.
3. Take a photo.
You can use pictures to see how the classroom looked before cleaning. You will be able to see and remember the things that worked in your classroom. This is a great way to assess how much work has been done.
Professional cleaners include before and after photos of the area they have cleaned in their portfolio.
4. Labels and packaging.
You must be organized when packing the classroom up at the end. Pack similar objects in the same bags or boxes. Label them appropriately.
Label all art objects and keep them together in one box. Stick the “fragile” sticker or tape to the appropriate boxes. You can easily assemble the classroom at the start of the new school year by working section by section.
5. Toilet and classroom sanitation.
It is important to disinfect all surfaces. In the rainy/cold season6, schools can be breeding grounds for viruses and bacteria. Disinfection will help to reduce sickness and absenteeism.
Teachers should regularly disinfect all surfaces of their classrooms. This includes doorknobs and desks. Also, include sponges and activity toys.
Staff should disinfect bathrooms, common areas, and kitchens several times per day. Make sure that each classroom in the school is equipped with a cleaning box for daily use and to deal with any accidents.
When students wash their hands at the sink, they can leave germs behind on the knobs of the faucet and the sink. The soil should be removed by using a wet vacuum or squeegee before spraying the area with a chemical treatment.
Action point
Cleaning the school should be a part of students’ daily routines because it helps them to become more aware of their surroundings. They can quickly assemble the classroom upon their return to school.
Children are vulnerable to infection, and diseases can easily be transmitted from child to child. The schools must therefore continue to follow Covid – 19 prevention and management guides. Children must also be taught the importance of living and studying in a clean, healthy environment.
