School and Crèche Hygiene: A Healthy Classroom Routine

Children share everything: toys, desks, door handles, and unfortunately germs too. A solid cleaning routine helps keep classrooms healthier for learners and staff.

Daily

• Clean and sanitise desks, tables and chairs
• Wipe door handles, light switches and taps
• Clean and restock toilets and basins
• Empty bins and replace liners
• Sweep and mop floors

Weekly

• Wash plastic toys and shared equipment
• Wipe shelves, windowsills and cubbies
• Clean sports and playground equipment
• Deep-clean the kitchen and eating areas

Teach good habits

Hand-washing songs, reminder posters at basins and sanitiser at the classroom door make hygiene part of the routine. Kids learn fast when it's fun!

Child-safe cleaning

• Store all chemicals locked away and out of reach.
• Clean when children aren't present, where possible, and ventilate well.
• Rinse surfaces that children may put in their mouths, such as toys and high chairs.
• Always follow the dilution on the label.
