Cleaning During Winter Break: What to do while students are gone

Cleaning During Winter Break: What to do while students are gone

There can never be enough emphasis placed on school cleaning. School is busy, so it is crucial to keep it clean!

As a result of students, staff, classes, and extracurricular activities, schools are high-traffic, high-population areas for the majority of the day, six days a week. During winter break, schools dedicate extra cleaning energy to keeping their buildings in good condition during the school year.

Scrub Floors 

In order to carry out floor work, the facility should be divided into several areas:

  • Those areas that will be stripped and/or refinished
  • Areas that will be scrubbed 
  • Areas that need only detailed cleaning.

This will help tackle all of your floors efficiently. Use our MatPRO Mega Mop System Kit to ensure your floors are as clean as possible. Our mega mop system kit is a high-grade Heavy Duty industrial mop system ideal for wrestling mats, gyms, gymnastics mats, and all floors.
