Keeping Children Safe: The Importance of Cleanliness in Educational Establishments

Erin Meyer • December 26, 2014

school cleaning It’s indisputable that by their very nature, children occasionally get a little dirty. It’s very much a part of growing up, and it’s certainly nothing to be alarmed about when your child comes in from school with a muddy knee or some paint on their clothes.

However, whilst some cases of dirt are a natural part of being a kid, there are other situations where dirt is not permissible; and in extreme cases, can actually prove to be hazardous to health.

Cleaning Schools: Areas Where Cleanliness Shouldn’t be Compromised

In a school or day-care environment, there are certain areas that must be kept as clean as possible, for the sake of hygiene and health. These include:

Restrooms. It goes without saying that restrooms are a potential breeding ground for germs and bacteria. As a result, it’s vital to have them cleaned on a regular basis; and cleaned thoroughly, each and every time.

Carpeted areas. Younger children in particular love to crawl and play on the floor. They spend a lot of time exploring carpets and regularly come into close contact with the floor. A simple vacuum clean is often not enough. In order to get rid of dirt, bacteria and even mites and fleas, it’s important to have carpeted areas professionally cleaned regularly.

Toys / equipment. It’s well known that sometimes, children may forget to wash their hands properly after eating or visiting the restroom. In addition to this, it’s not uncommon to see a child put their hands in their mouths, or in more unappealing locations! They then touch the classroom toys and equipment, which over time, can become a breeding ground for harmful bacteria. Arrange to have the classroom toys cleaned as often as possible, to prevent this from occurring.

School restrooms can often be overlooked and taken for granted, but they are a vital part of the educational experience. From providing a safe and comfortable space for students to take care of their hygiene needs to create a sense of community, school restrooms play an important role in the daily lives of students. In this blog post, we'll discuss the importance of school restrooms, the challenges they face, and some ways to improve them. As mentioned, school restrooms are an essential part of a student's day. Not only do they serve a practical purpose, but they also help create a sense of community. By providing a safe space for students to take care of their needs, restrooms are an important part of fostering a sense of security. Unfortunately, school restrooms are often neglected and suffer from a lack of resources and maintenance. This can lead to dirty and even dangerous restrooms that can cause health problems for students. Often times students communicate the need to wait until they get home to use the restroom. This can be because the restrooms are dirty, lack of toilet tissue or paper towel, or fixtures are broken or inoperable. Fortunately, there are some simple ways to improve school restrooms and create a safe and comfortable environment for students. One way to improve the restroom experience is to be sure the restrooms are regularly cleaned and maintained. This includes ensuring that all facilities are in working order and that any issues are addressed in a timely manner. In addition, the restrooms should be stocked with adequate supplies, such as soap and toilet paper. Ultimately, school restrooms are an important part of the educational experience and should be given the attention they deserve. By implementing these simple steps, schools can create a safe and comfortable environment for their students.
