Cleaning schools with professional cleaning products

Cleanliness in places where children stay is extremely important. Unfortunately, cleanliness in Polish schools leaves much to be desired. Inappropriate standards mean not only sick children, but also sick teachers. Inadequate hygiene conditions negatively affect children's health and result in them missing classes. They also increase teacher absenteeism due to sick leave. This is reflected in the academic results achieved by children and adolescents. The fewer days absent during the school year, the easier it is for students to master the material covered at school. Maintaining a high level of cleanliness and hygiene helps protect the health of children and adolescents, reduces the transfer of dirt and pathogens, and ensures the maximum level of safety.

Maintaining cleanliness in schools

Schools, apart from health care and food industry facilities, are places that require special attention in terms of maintaining cleanliness. More and more school principals realize how important this task is. However, it is also understandable that educational institutions may struggle to properly manage this issue. After all, their primary responsibility is to teach. That’s why professional companies come to the rescue and help you develop a hygiene plan and advise you what cleaning products to use to achieve a satisfactory effect.

The use of outsourced cleaning companies in school facilities in many Polish cities is nothing new. However, many principals do not yet pay such close attention to professional cleaning of the school. Many people responsible for maintaining the facility’s cleanliness are not properly trained, and everyday products are often the same as those in an average Kowalski home.

Why is it worth using professional cleaning products in schools?

Cleaning products available in supermarkets are much cheaper than professional preparations. That’s why schools often use them. Unfortunately, over time, dirt accumulates on floors, toilets and locker rooms. Household chemicals products are too weak to cope with the dirt that occurs in such a large facility and where there is so much traffic every day. Chemical products recommended by companies producing professional cleaning products are much stronger.

They are more concentrated and contain a more effective active substance, which can be even several times faster in removing dirt than the substance used in a household chemical product. In addition to cleaning properties, they also have properties that protect the cleaned surface. Cleaning products available in specialist stores are more effective and efficient. They are sold as concentrates in large packages, which is economically more advantageous. The high concentration of the product allows you to adjust the dilution of the working solution, i.e. the strength of the product, to the type of dirt, current or thorough cleaning.

Maintaining hygiene in school toilets

Maintaining hygienic conditions in toilets is a very serious problem in schools. Students and their parents complain that toilets are unfriendly, dirty, lack paper towels and toilet paper, often lack soap, and have an unpleasant odor. They often even require renovation. And this is where the Clinex brand comes in handy, offering a wide range of professional toilet cleaning products Clinex W3 Multi and Clinex W3 Bacti .

These are products with a gel consistency. They come in a package with a specially profiled tip, making them perfect for cleaning vertical and hard-to-reach surfaces, such as toilet bowls, urinals, bidets, and washbasins. They have a pleasant scent. These products can also be used diluted to clean floors in sanitary rooms. Additionally, Clinex W3 Bacti is a bactericidal and fungicidal disinfectant product – which makes it irreplaceable in maintaining cleanliness in school facilities. It can be used to disinfect sanitary rooms and surfaces in contact with food.

How to keep school floors clean – professional cleaning products?

A huge school building means a huge area of ​​floors to clean. Such a surface requires the use of a product that works quickly and effectively. For daily cleaning of floors, you can use a product for hand cleaning or Clinex M6 Medium for machine cleaning. These are products recommended for all types of floors. They contain polymers that fill micro-scratches on the cleaned surface and prevent dirt from entering the surface. The floor then becomes smoother, has a delicate shine, deepens the color, and the subsequent cleaning process is easier. Another solution is to use a preparation with silicon nanoparticles, which modify the cleaned surface, protecting it against re-deposition of dirt and giving the cleaned surface a delicate shine. The preparation containing silicon nanoparticles is Clinex Nano Protect Floral without allergens.

Floors are thoroughly washed once or twice a month. We use post-cleaning to remove detergents that may have accumulated on the cleaned surface and dirt that we are unable to remove during regular washing. For thorough cleaning, the Clinex brand recommends Clinex Floral Forte . It is a hand-washing preparation made on the basis of alcohol – so it quickly evaporates from the surface. Clinex M9 Strong will be suitable for machine washing.

In the case of floors made of terrazzo, concrete, vinyl or covered with PVC carpet, a good solution is to protect the surface with a polymer layer. Polymerization is a process that allows us to protect the floor from damage, make it shiny and make everyday care of the floor easier.

Acrylic polymers are the most popular. One of the products based on these polymers is Clinex Dispersion SOFT . It is a preparation with polishing properties and creates a durable coating resistant to damage. Perfect for heavy traffic areas. It has anti-slip properties. Contains approx. 20% solids. The Clinex brand also offers the Clinex Dispersion HARD product based on acrylic and polyurethane polymers. Thanks to the content of polyurethane polymers, it creates an alcohol-resistant coating. The product contains approx. 25% solids. Floors protected with a polymer layer require special cleaning agents, e.g. Clinex Dispersion CARE .

Washing school desks and chairs

Schools struggle every day with cleaning huge amounts of school desks and chairs. There are countless viruses and bacteria on school desks where students sit. They require disinfection several times a week. This is where the Clinex Nano Protect Silver Table product comes in handy. It is a product used for washing and disinfecting surfaces, including those in contact with food. It is a ready-to-use product and does not require rinsing. Suitable for daily disinfection of rooms, tables, countertops, kitchen appliances, containers, and interiors of refrigeration equipment. Thanks to the content of ethanol and active NANO silver particles, the preparation destroys bacteria, fungi and spores. This product, in addition to washing school desks, can also be used in the school kitchen and canteen.

For everyday dust removal, we recommend Clinex Blink . The product is safe for the cleaned surface, universal. It will perfectly cope with dust on desks, windowsills and school furniture. In addition, it prevents the bench and chairs from sticking to clothes or human skin, which is aesthetically pleasing.

Washing windows in schools – using Clinex cleaning products

Windows in school buildings pose a serious challenge. Most often, they are very large and often old. They can cause many problems when washing. Without a doubt, they must always be absolutely clean. And it’s not just about aesthetics, although in fact dirty windows are unpleasant to the eye. This also makes them a breeding ground for bacteria. The Clinex brand recommends products such as: Clinex Glass Foam , Clinex Glass and Clinex NANO Protect Glass . These are high quality products. They remove the most persistent, dried dirt and grease. They are enriched with antistatic agents that delay dust accumulation. Clinex NANO Protect Glass additionally contains NANO silicon particles that fill micro-scratches on the glass surface. Thanks to this, dirt does not get inside and subsequent washing is easier.

It is the duty of every school principal to ensure an appropriate level of cleanliness in rooms with various functions: classrooms, passageways, toilets, gymnasiums, canteen, and cloakroom. This has a huge impact on the functioning of the school and the psychological well-being of students and teachers. It is important that students feel good at school and do not hesitate to fully use all school rooms, including toilets.

Why is it so important to keep the school clean?

School is a place where students with different resistance and sensitivity to microorganisms come into contact with each other. Therefore, keeping clean is of great importance to them. It allows not only to avoid direct infections, but also to avoid the transfer of biological and pathogenic factors between each other. Modern and professional cleaning products with the previously mentioned antibacterial, antiviral and fungicidal properties effectively prevent this. Their task is not only to wash dirt and dust from surfaces used by students, but also to inhibit the proliferation of potentially dangerous factors.

Summary

However, the destruction of pathogenic microorganisms is not everything. The lack of bacteria in the school corridor will obviously make children safer from the effects of pollution. However, school corridors are often a playground for competition, or just plain antics. Professional cleaning products are intended to clean and protect corridors and other surfaces. Preparations that do not lubricate the surface should be used to prevent uncontrolled slipping. Such accidents generate health consequences that are difficult to predict. Professional cleaning products can deal with it uncompromisingly and make it much easier to keep floors in perfect condition.
