When students return to classrooms, maintaining clean and hygienic educational facilities is a major focus. Schools have a cleaning challenge unlike any other; lots of foot traffic in and out the halls, plenty of shared spaces that are likely touched by hundreds each day and they need to keep it as healthy an environment for those still-growing kids at school! So here are the must-have school cleaning equipment for every educational facility this term.
Multi-Surface Disinfectants
Classrooms are crawling with germs so disinfect desks, door handles and light switches etc. Opt for a non-damaging disinfectant that is going to kill bacteria and viruses, but is safe around children. Ensure that the products you are looking to source meet standards for educational environments.

Hand Hygiene Supplies
Place hand sanitiser stations at the entrances of classrooms, dining areas and high-traffic corridors. Keep ample liquid hand soap for washrooms and replenish the dispensers on a regular basis. Proper hand hygiene is the best method to prevent disease transmission in school.
Floor Cleaning Products
School floors take a beating. You will require different cleaners – hard floor cleaners for corridors and halls; carpet-cleaners where necessary and also a sports hall cleaning product. Mops, buckets and perhaps a decent vacuum cleaner for daily upkeep.
Washroom Essentials
School toilets need constant attention. Toilet cleaners with limescale removers, as well as toilet brushes. Stock up on toilet paper, paper roll and bin liners. This is the atmosphere that can spread viruses and diseases so it’s vital to maintain hygienic standards.
Spill Management Supplies
Mistakes are easy to make, especially with little kids. Have paper towels, absorbents and cleaning solutions available for immediate spill response. There is a need for the nature of the spill kit to include PPE, disinfectant and disposal bags that are meant specifically to handle bodily fluid spills in order to create an environment that is safe or clean prior to hygienic handling.
Personal Protective Equipment
Cleaning staff need proper protection. Make disposable gloves, aprons and eye protection available where required. PPE is also not something that you can choose if it should be worn or not, it’s for the staff’s own safety and COSHH regulation.
Waste Management
Together with suitable bins, bin liners and recycling containers are essential for well organised classrooms.
Be Prepared
Ensuring your cleaning supplies on day one permanently guarantees a clean, safe and healthy school environment. Stock up now on what you need so education doesn’t skip a beat.
