Cleaning in schools and daycare centers must be efficient while also being safe for children and staff. The use of inappropriate products can cause allergies, intoxications, and other health issues. Below are the best techniques and products for safe and effective hygiene.
Proper Cleaning Techniques
Cleaning in educational environments should be done strategically to prevent cross-contamination and ensure maximum hygiene:
- Color-coded cloths and sponges: use different colors for each area (bathrooms, cafeterias, classrooms).
- Wet cleaning instead of dry sweeping: reduces dust and allergens in the air.
- Disinfecting high-touch surfaces: doorknobs, handrails, desks, and faucets should be frequently sanitized.
- Ventilating the space: opening windows and doors after cleaning to allow air circulation.
