School’s out for summer…

Jangro Schools Out 2019

The summer holidays provide the perfect opportunity for a deep clean of schools, colleges and other educational facilities. Regular servicing does a great job of maintaining cleanliness and hygiene levels during term-time, but a deep clean is essential to reach the grime and dirt that has inevitably built up by the end of the academic year. Following months of unhygienic practices such as sticky hands, germs and mud trodden into carpets, an intensive clean-up is vital to prevent the spread of infection and ensure a healthy learning environment.

With most premises empty for the summer, cleaning operatives are able to tackle the tougher, more time consuming jobs that are just not practical when children are present, or when they are against the clock during an evening shift.

Here are our top six tips for deep cleaning in schools, to help ensure your facility is gleaming and germ-free come September.
