Hand Washing as a Good School Cleaning Program

Many schools have strictly implemented proper hand washing procedures as part of their school cleaning program to help decrease spread of infectious diseases in the school environment.

Brisbane, Australia (prHWY.com) December 18, 2012 - Correct hand washing technique has proved to control the spread of various germs or bacteria which causes minor and major illnesses. Researchers have found that the hand is one major element which easily transmits germs from one surface to another. Constantly used school facilities such as restrooms, gyms and locker rooms, cafeterias, and classrooms have abundant numbers of germs. Poor commercial cleaning practices on these areas increase the occurrences of different types of sicknesses. School restrooms contain filth and bacteria from wastes expelled by students. A student who uses a restroom cubicle will immediately touch door handles and sink knobs. Since their hands are exposed to the bacteria from waste secretions, some of these germs stay on the hands aside from spreading to any touched surfaces. Even if thorough commercial cleaning service tasks are employed on contaminated surfaces, infected hands can still potentially spread the germs on the same area.

Proper hand washing methods eliminate different types of germs which causes common sicknesses such as flu, cough, and colds. It also reduces the spread of fatal bacteria such as E. Coli and salmonella. School cleaning programs should not be limited to students. It should also be implemented to all school staffs most especially to cafeteria crews and those doing janitorial jobs. Clean hands are important when preparing and handling food to prevent food poisoning occurrences in school canteens. School custodians should also wash their hands after doing various commercial cleaning chores such as cleaning restrooms, disposing garbage, or cleaning gym facilities. Although older people are aware of the importance of proper hand washing, schools can continuously encourage young students to wash hands through fun learning approaches.
