The importance of regular cleaning in schools

Post COVID19, our society has advanced towards better habits that encourage sanitation and good health. It is everyone’s responsibility to ensure that they are maintaining hygiene standards to prevent the spread of bacteria, and disease. That is why it is important to regularly clean your offices, classrooms and other communal areas that face heavily populated periods throughout the day or prolonged timeframes.

Schools are a good example of environments prone to the spread of germs and bacteria, due to the high usage of facilities and equipment by thousands of students and staff daily. Although classrooms, canteens and restrooms may get a wipe down at the end of each day, it is essential to have all areas regularly deep cleaned to a professional standard.

According to the UK government, infections can spread through direct contact with an infected area or contaminated surfaces, which is the most common route of cross-infection. Preventative measures, such as cleaning and managing the environment safely, is vital.
