Cleaning in schools - Washing hands

We all know how important it is to teach our children about cleanliness. Maintaining suitable levels of hygiene and cleaning bathrooms, helps prevent the spread of disease. It is imperative that schools continue to teach our children about hygiene and maintain the highest hygiene standards within the school.

It’s been proven that the cleaner the school, the better the attendance of students and teachers and therefore the results of the pupils. At the end of the day, we all want our children to do really well at school so insisting that our schools are clean is an important part of this process.

 Ensuring there are good hand washing facilities is a great place to start. All children should be reminded that they should wash their hands before eating and after using the toilet. Students should have some soap and some dry towels available. Best choices would be a liquid or foam dispenser soap and a hand air dryer. Some people feel that air dryers take too long or don’t work so well but the newer generation types are usually quite quick and thorough. You could also supply paper towels. This is isn’t the greenest choice as these towels are usually made from paper but you can get paper towels that are made from recycled parts and use no bleach in their manufacture.

Just encouraging the washing of hands amongst students will help curb the spread of germs and bacteria.
