The cleanliness of the sanitary installations at school are often not so good. That’s according to a study by bathroom manufacturer Geberit. The figures speak for themselves:
- 7 in 10 pupils avoid using toilets at school.
- 60% of pupils say school toilets often stink.
- 33% of pupils there is not always enough toilet paper available at the school sanitary.
- 35% of parents are concerned about the cleanliness of the toilets at their child’s school.
Need for more thorough cleaning of sanitary facilities at school
These are figures you would rather not see when you send your child to school in the morning. But they are what they are. The state of school washrooms and facilities is often problematic. This not only affects children’s health, but also classroom performance. More than 8 in 10 parents and teachers therefore support stricter rules and annual inspection of school toilets, according to the same survey.
Fewer illnesses, more concentration at school
With a professional cleaning partner, you no longer have to worry about this. Schools are often a breeding ground for germs. By cleaning and disinfecting regularly, you minimise the spread of pathogens, such as bacteria and viruses. Immediately a win-win, because in addition to keeping your washrooms clean, you reduce the number of sick pupils and staff..
A clean and hygienic environment contributes to the well-being and productivity of both students and staff. Research has shown that a clean environment improves concentration, reduces stress and increases overall satisfaction. Thus, by creating a comfortable and healthy environment, schools can foster an atmosphere conducive to learning and performance.
A cleaner, but also greener image for your school
Besides a clean image, you can also give your school a green image with the right cleaning partner. A partner like Cleaning Masters itself takes many initiatives to reduce our ecological footprint. For example, we work with ecological products, water-saving devices and we also take initiatives to green your waste management.
