Educational institutions are the environment in which children develop, learn and acquire new knowledge, but also the place where certain communicable diseases can be easily contacted. The little ones spend a lot of time in these units and interact with many people, so they are exposed to different categories of diseases, such as influenza, viral or chicken pox and measles, childhood diseases. For this reason, it is essential that certain hygiene rules are observed in schools.
As a parent, you can't control school hygiene very rigorously, but you can teach your children some basic notions of hygiene. The personal care routine is learned from the earliest age, and children should not see it as a chore, but should understand that it is an absolutely necessary thing for safety and health.
Here's what you can do about it:
With the advent of the coronavirus Pandemic there has been more and more emphasis on cleanliness in certain spaces and we are talking here, for example, about hygiene in hospitals or hygiene in beauty salons. Well, educational institutions are also places frequented by many people and where it is absolutely necessary to address certain rules of cleaning. The administrative staff must sanitize with the utmost seriousness the spaces in which the students carry out their activities. Specifically, every shift is important to sanitize classes, from floors to benches and chairs, with professional disinfectants. Less fragrant so as not to cause allergy to children. Every day, computers in schools or other surfaces and objects used by students must also be disinfected because they can represent an outbreak of bacteria and microbes, and the risk of getting sick is huge.
Good hand hygiene reduces the spread of microbes and infections, as well as the incidence of absenteeism. One of the most important rules of hygiene in schools is frequent washing of hands and their thorough disinfection to preserve health. Hands have a very important role in the spread of microorganisms and diseases, with more than 80% of infectious diseases transmitted through them, according to the World Health Organization.
In addition to the use of hand sanitizers, it is also necessary to install disinfectant mats at the entrance to schools. They have the role of keeping away viruses and microbes and ensure a professional sanitation of the premises, but also a long-term cleaning. In addition, they combine pleasant design with usability and quality.
Bathrooms are visited every day dozens or even hundreds of times, so it is necessary to observe certain hygiene rules in the toilets. Here there is an increased risk of development of microbes, viruses and bacteria, for this reason they need to be cleaned and disinfected several times a day. Administrative staff must sanitize toilets and washbasins using high quality products, but it is also necessary to pay attention to floors, door handles or taps.
In school toilets there must be professional dispensers with toilet paper, given dispensers only allow the child who needs it to use the piece of toilet paper, the part that needs it and no one else. Paper towels, soap or even toilet bowl coverings.
Paper supplies are essential to prevent the spread of germs and provide students with very good hygiene conditions. In addition to these facilities, there must also be trash cans fitted with a lid for throwing away used papers in the bathrooms.
One of the many hygiene rules in schools is also aimed at the use of professional cleaning products. Thus, cleaning trolleys are recommended that allow the responsible staff to have at all times at hand all the necessary solutions and tools for sanitizing the different spaces in the educational units.
Professional detergents needed for different surfaces (glass, ceramics, PVC, wood, plastic, etc.) are indispensable in schools, as are disinfectants. Broom, dustpan, mop and bucket are essential for cleaning floors, garbage bags and containers for safe garbage collection, and cloths, paper towels and special solutions are indicated for wiping dust or glazed areas (each area must correspond to the recommendations of color codes in cleaning).
Hygiene rules in schools are designed to maintain cleanliness and remove bacteria or microbes that can cause health problems for students. It is important that children are also well trained on individual hygiene, and that administrative staff take all measures to provide optimal conditions for Education, a clean, sanitized and disinfected environment that does not pose too great risks to their sensitive organism.
