Other Areas to Clean in School Toilets

You will need to make allowances for the cleaning of all items within school toilets as a way to ensure the best hygiene standards are met. Some of these things will only require once a day cleaning and others will need even less.

Mirrors will require daily cleaning. Any stainless steel fitting surrounding the mirrors should be kept bright and shiny.

Walls and partitions should be spot cleaned as required. They should be checked daily.

Ceilings, windows, airvents, lights and fittings do not need routine cleaning but that doesn’t mean these items should be forgotten. When they do require periodical cleaning hot water and detergent is the best cleaner.

External pipework from toilets and basins should be cleaned weekly with hot water and detergent.

Feminine hygiene bins should be cleaned on the outside daily. Bins must be lifted off the floor during mopping of floor. Sanitary product disposal bins should be emptied and cleaned regularly preferably by a registered company.

Please also be aware that drinking water should not be available in the toilet facility areas.

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.

How to clean low risk areas in school toilets

After assessing your school toilets and deciding on which areas are high risk and which are low risk, you would have been able to get ready for some cleaning. With your colour-coded cleaning accessories in hand, you should be able to refer to your cleaning schedule and get started.

General areas will need a minimum of a daily clean. It’s a good idea to use a general purpose cleaner and hot water with the right colour-coded cleaning equipment. All surfaces should be manually cleaned as well as dried before the space can be used again. If there is the possibility of an outbreak of infection then all surfaces should be disinfected. These areas must be properly cleaned before disinfection takes place.

Floors should be mopped at least once a day. If there have been any blood spillages, disinfection will be necessary.

Bins must be emptied at least twice a day. This may be different in other environments. If paper towels are used and only small bins are provided they may need to be emptied after each break. The outside of the bins should also be cleaned daily. If there is obvious soiling then this too may need to be more frequent. All bins should also have liner bags.

4 Safety Tips for Cleaning School Toilets

Photo courtesy of Carlos Paes

School toilets need to be cleaned with all the highest standards of hygiene in mind. Keeping this area clean can help prevent the spread of disease and improve school attendance. Using a cleaning system similar to a HACCP cleaning system, may be useful. HACCP was developed by NASA to ensure food safety for astronauts. It has been adopted by the food preparation industry to keep food safe. The principles of HACCP ensure that germs are not spread and there is no cross-contamination of bacteria.

• Use colour-coded cloths for cleaning different areas. Toilet pans, urinals and cisterns should be cleaned with one cloth – you could make this one a red cloth. Then basins, taps and cubicle doors and door handles and locks should be cleaned with a separate cloth and this one could be green. Do not use the same bucket of cleaning products for these two cloths and do not let them lie together when not in use.
• Cleaning products should always be handled responsibly and staff must be trained about proper handling and dilution.
• Cleaning products must always be stored in a locked room that is not accessible by students. 
• All staff that clean must be familiar with their products and have all necessary safety gear including safety goggles, masks, acid-resistant overalls, acid-proof gloves and safety boots.

Cleaning Schedules for School Toilets

Like any good cleaning system, a schedule for cleaning is the best way to be sure that all cleaning jobs are done. All cleaning staff should be trained to be familiar with all cleaning that is required for all surfaces.

A checklist should be in place where after each cleaning job is completed, the time completed and signature of the person who did the job is filled in. This person can then be held accountable for this area for a specified amount of time.

A monitoring system should also be in place to check that the work that has been signed off has been done to a satisfactory level.

There should also be a faults and repair list that includes expected completion dates. This list must be maintained regularly to ensure that broken equipment is fixed or replaced timeously.

School toilet facilities need to be maintained with the highest level of hygiene in mind. If procedures are followed correctly, the health and welfare of students will be maintained.

3 tips for better school toilets

Hygiene principles need to be followed in schools. Children are often more susceptible to illness and with such large groups of people gathering in one spaces germs can spread really fast. The toilets in schools should follow strict rules to stay clean and help to minimise the spread of any germs. Children are also more vulnerable to exposure to chemicals and this should also be controlled.

Ensure proper ventilation of the toilet areas when cleaning is taking place. This will ensure safety for the people cleaning the toilets and quicker dispersal of any fumes from cleaning products so that children are not exposed.

If the toilet area does not have windows there must be mechanical ventilation. When cleaning is taking place windows must be opened or mechanical ventilation must be switched on.

Drinking water must be made available to students but it may not be situated in the toilet areas.

For better hygiene in schools follow these simple tips and others brought to you by Blendwell Chemicals.

5 Tips to Maintain School Toilets

Do you have the right stuff?

When it comes to cleaning having the right things to clean with will make the world of difference. Trying to clean a kitchen floor with a small cloth is going to take a huge amount of time and energy. I’m all for cleaning as fast as possible and using the least amount of energy possible. This is not because I’m lazy, it’s because, like most people, I have a gazillion other things to do and cleaning is not something I particularly love doing. Though, I do love having a clean environment to live and work in.   

It’s a good idea to have several different cleaning cloths. Microfibre cloths are really nice to clean with because they don’t leave any little fluffy bits of cloth behind when you wipe a surface like most other cloths. I like to have different coloured cloths for different areas. The cloth that cleans your kitchen countertop should never clean the toilet or the floor. When you buy cleaning cloths for your home or office, buy an assortment of colours and if lots of different people are likely to use these cleaning cloths, then it might be a good idea to make a chart so that everyone is aware of which colour cloths are for which cleaning job. This way your cleaning cloths will not cross-contaminate with germs or bacteria found in other spaces.

Blendwell Chemicals now stocks cleaning accessories such as microfiber cleaning cloths in a variety of colours. Blendwell Chemicals is in Midrand, South Africa and we are your best local cleaning wholesaler.
