The kids have been back in school for a while now and probably started bringing home all kinds of cold and flu germs. As every parent knows, kids getting sick is par for the course when your children attend school or daycare. But now, as we live with COVID-19, it’s more important than ever to prevent the spread of germs and bacteria safely. So what can we do to keep schools clean and safe?
Recently we found a great article from CleanLink outlining five ways schools and educational institutions can improve cleanliness. Here are their five recommendations and how we can help your school meet them.
- Regular cleaning and disinfecting: The best way to prevent the spread of germs or COVID-19 is through regular cleaning and disinfecting practices. We offer complete janitorial and cleaning services, including specialized services for various industries. We also offer customized cleaning schedules and security protocols.
- Deep cleaning: A thorough deep cleaning is a great way to prevent the build-up of dirt, dust and grime. Some deep cleaning services may include carpet cleaning, floor stripping and waxing, HVAC and air duct cleaning and other offerings. Our team can do all of these services!
- Periodic disinfection: After an outbreak of sickness, it is helpful to have qualified individuals disinfect using specialized equipment. We offer COVID-19 disinfection services to ensure that the germs are gone from your building.
- Surface Protection: Surface protection programs like our MicroShield 360 program help to prevent the spread of germs and bacteria on surfaces. Our MicroShield 360 system creates an antimicrobial coating that kills germs and bacteria on the surface and prevents the build-up of mold and mildew. It’s approved for hundreds of surfaces, including food preparation surfaces, so it’s safe in a school setting.
- Improved air quality: The pandemic has shown us how essential indoor air quality is to our health. Many schools have outdated systems or require upgrades for better filtration and cleaner air. Our facility management team can recommend qualified HVAC technicians and companies who can service your school’s system and provide recommended upgrades like air cleaning systems or improved HEPA filters.
These recommendations from Cleanlink are proven methods to help reduce the transmission of germs, bacteria and airborne illnesses. As a cleaning and facility management company, we know these recommendations can work in our schools. So, if your school is looking for a qualified and experienced cleaning and facility management team, let us help!
