Schools are a lively, active environment, where children learn, play and socialise, building skills they’ll take with them throughout their lives. A clean environment with minimal exposure to allergens is important at any time of year, but particularly in the Spring and Summer where hayfever is rife. For many students, allergies are more than just a nuisance—they can significantly impact their health, wellbeing, and ability to focus in the classroom. Professional cleaning services play a crucial role in helping to create a healthy school environment where students can thrive.

Allergies among school-aged children are increasingly common, with triggers ranging from dust to pollen and other environmental factors. These allergens can lurk in carpets, upholstery, ventilation systems, and even on surfaces like desks and chairs. Exposure to these triggers have the potential to cause discomfort to school children and staff with sensitivities, impacting their daily performance and wellbeing. It is therefore integral that the school's professional cleaning services are well-considered and thorough.

Prevention

Maintaining a regular clean throughout the school helps to prevent the build-up of allergens. This proactive approach is especially beneficial in high traffic areas such as classrooms, and canteens.

Thoroughness

Professional cleaners are trained to identify and target areas where allergens accumulate. They use specialised equipment, such as vacuum cleaners with HEPA (high-efficiency particulate absorbing) filters, to capture pollen, dirt and dust from carpets, upholstery and other surfaces where allergens hide.

Safe Products

Using eco-friendly, non-toxic cleaning products can effectively remove allergens without introducing harmful chemicals into the school environment. Promoting not only the wellbeing of students and staff but also the protection of our planet.

Compliance

Professional cleaning services help ensure that schools meet the COSHH regulations, helping to keep both the staff and students safe from any hazardous substance.

By investing in thorough cleaning practices, schools can mitigate allergen exposure and improve indoor air quality, creating a safer, more comfortable learning environment. With the correct measures in place, schools can effectively manage allergies and promote the wellbeing of their students and staff.
