When the final bell announces the end of another school term, the students leave behind a lot more than dusty footprints. Germs and bacteria have settled deep into the carpet over the past months, grease film has built up on the windowpanes, and the gym floor has lost its shine and now shows serious signs of wear and tear.
At the start of every school term, the students should be provided with an invigorating environment to easier face the challenges to come. And what better time to do just that than now that all the students are gone and the classrooms and halls are left empty. This is the time for a thorough, deep cleaning to begin – scrubbing, wiping and dusting everything from top to bottom, and of course, stripping, cleaning blinds, furniture, vents, and light fixtures, among other tasks.
The end-of-term cleaning is always customised to the needs of each school individually, and the scope of works can include as many tasks as deemed necessary. Here are a few suggestions on what details a school might need to address:
