As the school year progresses, maintaining clean and well-prepared restrooms is essential for creating a safe and healthy learning environment. Here are quick tips from Spartan Chemical Company (spartanchemical.com) for distributors to share with school leaders:

• Choose The Right Cleaning Solutions — Ensure all-purpose cleaners, bowl cleaners, hand soap, disinfectants, and glass cleaners are on hand. Also, don’t overlook the importance of selecting the best hand sanitizer.
• Train Your Staff — Conduct regular training sessions for cleaning staffs to ensure they understand proper dilution ratios, application techniques, and safety protocols.
• Combat Restroom Odor — Stock up on air fresheners, neutralizers, deodorizing systems, urinal screens, commode clips, and mats. Regular drain maintenance is also essential to prevent unpleasant odors.
• Promote Hand Hygiene — Regularly check and refill soap and sanitizer dispensers to ensure they are always available. To engage and educate students about the importance of hand hygiene, use appealing and easy-to-understand signage.
• Maintain A Consistent Cleaning Schedule— Establish a regular cleaning schedule to ensure all areas of a restroom are always properly cleaned and restocked.
