School’s out, Deep Cleans are in!

The summer holidays provide the perfect opportunity for a deep clean of schools, colleges and other educational facilities. Regular servicing does a great job of maintaining cleanliness and hygiene levels during term-time, but a deep clean is essential to reach the grime and dirt that has inevitably built up by the end of the academic year. Following months of unhygienic practices such as sticky hands, germs and mud trodden into carpets, an intensive clean-up is vital to prevent the spread of infection and ensure a healthy learning environment.

With most premises empty during the summer, cleaning teams can tackle the more challenging and time-consuming tasks that are just not practical when children are present, or when they are against the clock during an evening shift.

Deep cleaning in schools offers numerous benefits that contribute to the overall well-being and productivity of students and staff. Firstly, deep cleaning improves hygiene and sanitation. By removing dirt, dust, and germs, deep cleaning helps create a clean and healthy environment that reduces the risk of illnesses. This is particularly important in schools where students and staff spend a significant amount of time near each other.

Secondly, deep cleaning helps reduce the spread of germs and illnesses. Schools are breeding grounds for bacteria and viruses due to close contact between individuals. Deep cleaning helps eliminate germs from surfaces, reducing the risk of transmission. This is especially important during flu seasons or outbreaks of contagious diseases.

Thirdly, deep cleaning removes dirt, dust, and allergens that can trigger allergies or respiratory problems. By eliminating these substances, deep cleaning improves indoor air quality, creating a healthier environment for students and staff. Additionally, deep cleaning enhances the appearance of school facilities, making them more inviting and conducive to learning.

Make sure you choose the right products and the correct equipment to expertly clean mud and dirt, not to mention chewing gum, paint, glitter and more, from carpets and hard floors. Carpets require a powerful shampoo, whilst the long school holidays provide the ideal timing to care for hard floors. Why not take the opportunity to apply a high quality floor sealer, or even strip and re-seal the surface, to protect it?

All toilets and washrooms should be thoroughly cleaned, including the toilets themselves, basins, soap dispensers and vertical surfaces, such as mirrors and walls. Don’t forget to clean the surfaces that are touched the most frequently too – door handles and cubicle locks are often rife with invisible germs!
