School Cleaning Checklist

It's a fact that schools harbor tons of germs and bacteria, which makes routine cleaning a must. Clean and sanitized classrooms will keep the students and staff healthy and prevent the spread of illnesses.

Before kids head back into the classroom, it's essential that the school gets a thorough deep clean. Here is a handy checklist to make sure you're hitting all the right spots.


 

Floors

Before classes get back in session, if your classroom has carpet it will need a good deep cleaning to remove any buildup of dust or allergens that may have settled in it during summer break.

If your classrooms have wood, tile, or vinyl floors, then sweep any and all debris away and mop the surface with an appropriate cleaner and sanitizer.
 

Walls and Windows

Glass cleaners are a great way to eliminate a summer’s worth of dirt, dust, and debris that may have accumulated on your windows over break.

Be sure to wipe down school lockers and walls with an all-purpose cleaner.
 

Bathrooms

Bathrooms need a bit more attention than other areas in the school, so make sure you’re cleaning every available surface down to the faucet handles on the sinks.

When you’re cleaning the bathroom stalls, make sure to wipe down the stall door, and sanitize inside the toilet bowl and all around the outside, including the handle. Give the toilet paper holder a good clean too with an all-purpose cleaner.

Don’t forget to mop the floors and wipe down the door handles.

During the school year, wiping down all the surfaces and mopping floors in a classroom is a must to prevent the spread of germs and sickness.

How do you clean a science lab?

What is the best way to clean a chalkboard?

If you're cleaning a chalkboard on a daily basis, then warm water and a cloth will work just fine. If it's only an occasional clean, water and white vinegar will do the trick.

Whatever cleaning system you're using make sure the chalkboard is completely dry before attempting to write on it. If it's still damp, the chalk will stick to it and be harder to remove.
