Educational facility cleaning FAQs
How often should classrooms areas be cleaned in schools and universities?
Classrooms in Australian schools and universities are generally cleaned on a daily basis, with desks, floors and rubbish bins attended to at least once per school day. High‑touch points such as door handles, light switches and shared equipment should be wiped and disinfected more frequently, particularly during flu season or outbreaks, in line with Department of Education cleaning standards and WHS guidance.
Which areas in schools are highest risk for germs and need extra cleaning?
The highest‑risk areas for germs in educational facilities are amenities (toilets and bathrooms), sick bays, canteens, staff rooms and high‑traffic corridors. High‑touch surfaces in these zones – such as taps, toilets, basins, drinking fountains, handrails, desks, computer keyboards and shared learning resources – require more frequent cleaning and disinfection to meet Australian school cleaning standards and reduce absenteeism.
What cleaning products are safe and effective for use around children and students?
For classrooms and student areas, Australian guidelines recommend using pH‑neutral detergents, hospital‑grade disinfectants and ready‑to‑use sprays that are approved for use in schools and comply with local WHS requirements. Always follow the Safety Data Sheet (SDS), choose low‑odour or fragrance‑free options where possible, and store all chemicals securely out of reach of students in clearly labelled containers.
How do you handle spills, bodily fluids and other incident cleaning in schools?
Blood, vomit and other body fluid spills must be treated as a biohazard and cleaned up immediately using Australian Department of Education infection‑control procedures. Staff should isolate the area, wear disposable gloves and PPE, absorb the spill with paper towels or a biohazard spill kit, then clean with warm water and detergent before applying a suitable hospital‑grade disinfectant or diluted bleach solution as directed, and dispose of all contaminated materials in line with school WHS policies.
