Whether you are an administrator of a preschool, grade school, or institution of higher learning, keeping your facilities clean is a top priority. The COVID-19 pandemic highlights the crucial need to provide your cleaning team with the right janitorial supplies. Here’s why it’s essential to maintain cleanliness throughout the educational environment. 

Why is Cleaning Your School Important?

1. Prevent Infections and Disease

Bacteria and viruses that cause infections and diseases live on furniture and equipment found in classrooms, locker rooms, bathrooms, and cafeterias. Use disinfectants when cleaning and sanitizing surfaces that students and faculty touch often. Frequent dusting, mopping, and washing reduces the risk of transmitting germs that lead to infections that produce the flu, strep throat, and coronavirus.       

2. Promote Positive Attitude

Working in a clean environment boosts morale and helps students, teachers, and staff maintain a positive attitude. When surroundings are sanitized and odor-free, everyone can focus on their tasks and responsibilities, free from concerns about their health being compromised.    

3. Encourage Learning

A healthy school atmosphere reduces student and teacher absenteeism, which helps maintain educational continuity and a better learning environment. Students learn more effectively when their classrooms, play areas, locker rooms, and libraries are clean and free of diseases that keep them from coming to school. Children of all ages thrive in educational environments free from allergy-causing dust that can warrant fits of sneezing and congestion.
