How to Clean High Risk Areas in School Toilets

Previously I wrote about cleaning the low risk areas of school toilets. Now, it’s time to deal with high risk areas. It will be necessary to have your colour-coded cleaning accessories at hand and fresh hot water with correctly dosed cleaning product properly diluted. These are areas that have regular contact and are most likely to be exposed to germs and bacteria. It will be necessary to clean these areas a minimum of twice a day, perhaps more.

Sinks and basins can be cleaned using a cream cleaner.

The toilets should be cleaned with your hot water and detergent mix. Both top and bottom of the toilet seat should be cleaned as well as the flush handles. Door knobs and any locking mechanism will need to be cleaned. Surrounds underside of urinals should be cleaned as well as any disabled persons grab rails.

Taps and soap dispensers should be washed and dried as well as hand driers. Special attention should be paid to the undersides and sides of hand driers and soap dispensers.

This should cover the highest risk areas of your school toilet facilities. If there is every any blood of faecal spillages these must be cleaned up immediately and the area disinfected thoroughly.

Regular and planned cleaning in toilet areas will make the school toilets hygienic and keep students healthy. For more information on cleaning, visit www.blendwell.co.za.
