Schools are some of the most prevalent places for the spread of diseases, such as the common cold or – worse – flu. With hundreds of people crammed into small rooms, within close proximity of one another, moisture droplets are easy to transmit. But with staff members and pupils spending 5 days a week in schools, becoming sick during a viral outbreak is often unavoidable.
As an employer or manager of a school, it is up to you to ensure your staff and children are protected to the best of your ability. Here is how hiring a professional cleaner for your premises can help stop the spread of flu.
Disinfecting surfaces
You can wash a surface using warm water and soap, but this will only remove impurities and dirt that have built up since the last clean. Contrary to common belief, a quick wipe-down doesn’t kill bacteria or germs, leaving anyone who touches the worktop, desk or cafeteria tray susceptible to catching the flu if droplets have transferred onto it.
By using a strong disinfectant, a cleaner can kill off any harmful pathogens before they enter someone’s system. Whilst doing this will not completely eradicate all bacteria, it will drastically help to reduce the spread of infection.
Regular cleaning
Even if it’s just going around a building once a day, disinfecting and removing dirt, this action can make a huge difference to the viral control in your school. A commercial or professional cleaner should be able to do this outside of school hours whilst also being thorough in their job, so the process will not be intrusive to your pupils or staff.
