Whether you’re a teacher or in charge of inventory for janitors, having the necessary cleaning supplies helps make classrooms and schools safer for everyone in them. Not only can a clean educational environment keep everyone healthy, but it can also help improve productivity and learning. If you’re wondering what to include in your next order, here are some cleaning supplies every school needs.  

What Cleaning Products Benefit Schools? 

1. Wipes

Disinfectant wipes are quick and efficient ways to wipe surfaces down and kill bacteria. You can even have students wipe their own desks at the beginning and end of their school day. Other areas to wipe down include light switches, stair railings, doorknobs, and any other high-touch surfaces. Many brands are also scented, so they can help a classroom or common area smell better.

2. Hand Sanitizer 

Hand sanitizer should be in lunchrooms and classrooms to minimize the spread of germs on surfaces and between people. The minimum percentage of alcohol in hand sanitizer should be 65% to kill the majority of germs. Sanitizer is a great alternative if a classroom or lunchroom does not have enough sinks for students to wash their hands at the same time. Hand sanitizers infused with aloe can also help soothe dry skin as temperatures start to drop. 

3. Multipurpose Spray 

Not only does multipurpose spray sanitize items and rooms, but it also quickly cleans common areas. The spray efficiently cleans a row of lockers, gym equipment, and lunchroom tables. It is strong enough to take on marker scribbles on tables and gum stains under counters. You can also invest in green sprays that benefit the environment and minimize exposure to harsh chemicals.

4. Washcloths

Instead of reaching for paper towels to clean a spill, washcloths are multipurpose and can get the job done just as well. Additionally, they are reusable since they can be washed, which can help you cut down on cleaning costs. With a washcloth, use multipurpose spray to disinfect surfaces or classroom items like staplers and pencil sharpeners. Washcloths are thicker than paper towels, so they can often tackle stickier spills to create a clean space again.
