Keep Your School Sparkling Clean with Econo-Cide and Econo-Clean

Getting back into the swing of classes is a busy time for all of us, whether we’re students, teachers, or parents. One concern that most of us have is how we will handle cleanliness now that COVID-19 restrictions are slowly being lifted around the world.

Here at Econo-Chem, we’ve been keeping a watch over how schools and educational facilities can find ways to stay clean in the midst of more students entering the hallways and classrooms again. 

Here are our top tips for schools looking to improve health and safety through their cleaning processes.

Cover Every High-Traffic Area

Schools are more than just classrooms, so remember to take your floor cleaning supplies with you everywhere students will be staying in. Examples include:

• Hallways
• Offices
• Gymnasiums
• Cafeterias
• Common rooms

For instance, focus heavily on gym cleaning and locker rooms since those areas are typically a breeding ground for bacteria and sweat accumulation. Instill a policy of cleaning and disinfecting gym mats regularly after use. And don’t forget to make sure antibacterial hand soap is always available for students, teachers, and other staff to use.

Wear Gloves

Gloves, of course, are a sanitation measure for maintenance staff, but there’s actually another benefit most don’t realize. When working with various types of surface cleaners, gloves protect your hands from exposure to harsh cleaning agents.

Make sure to bring plenty of disposable gloves and get ready to change them often when switching to a different room or cleaning surface.

Don’t Forget Glass Cleaner

Window cleaning, glass and mirrors often require their own type of glass cleaner. But remember that all-purpose glass cleaner (Econo-Clean at a 120-1 dilution) can be used for stainless steel as well, making it invaluable for the cafeteria.

Plan For Deep Cleaning Every Now and Then

We don’t have time to touch up every nook and cranny of a large school building, so most schools do general maintenance for most of the time and have a cleaning schedule where they tackle deep cleaning at a certain frequency.

Keep Cleaning Supplies Handy

Whether it’s a floor cleaning solution, an all-purpose cleaner, or anything else, keep a list of all the supplies you need to get the job done. Don’t let your stock run low in case you suddenly need a cleaner.

For example, pick up some reusable and disposable towels and sponges. Disposable ones are excellent for heavy-duty cleaning tasks or removing stubborn dirt that would benefit from single-use instruments.
