Abigail Court Commercial Director

Easter half term is upon us. While half term is a time for students and teachers alike to have a detox from academia and refresh themselves ready for the next term, it is also time for the school facility itself to detox and refresh. With all students absent, it is the perfect time to get stuck right in and eliminate all the mess and bacteria that has accumulated over the term. Today, we are going to share our ultimate guide to deep cleaning a school facility during halftime. Grab your rubber gloves and cleaning kit, and let’s begin!

Deep Clean the Floors:

First, let’s start with arguably the dirtiest part of a school, the floors. We cannot even begin to imagine the festering build-up of bacteria and grime that is living on the floors of a school facility. Vacuum and mop the floors thoroughly to remove any dirt and grime.

Disinfect Surfaces:

Wipe down desks, school equipment, chairs, doorknobs, and other frequently touched surfaces to banish all the deadly bacteria.

Refresh the Bathrooms:

Scrub down the toilets, sinks, mirrors, and restock on the necessary supplies such as toilet paper, soap, and paper towels.

Focus On High-Traffic Areas:

Hallways, classrooms, bathrooms, canteens, and other common areas are going to harbour a lot more germs and bacteria therefore, you should make these areas your top priority.

Don’t Forget About the Windows:

Let’s not forget about windows. Clean the windows inside and out for a more inviting and brighter space. It is also important to open the windows for a couple of hours a day for ventilation and clean air.

A school deep clean can be extremely difficult, especially without the correct skills, equipment, and knowledge. That is why it is best to hire a commercial cleaning company for the job. The friendly team here at Aspin Group understands the role cleanliness plays in the safety of children. That is why we carry out all our work with them in mind. To ensure they are kept as safe and healthy as possible. For more information about our school cleaning services, please do not hesitate to get in touch.
