For an effective maintenance and cleaning of schools and daycares
Did you know that a child touches and retouches more than 300 surfaces in 30 minutes?1 Before the return in educational and childcare environment, it can therefore be very useful to revise hygiene standards and measures, both in maintenance and cleaning and in disinfection.
As you know, the maintenance of several surfaces and objects must now also include disinfection. Schools, daycares and various public places must have high standards in this regard. It is essential to clean and disinfect the surfaces and objects in them.
Just as it can also be helpful to deodorize these highly impregnated spaces!

Aim for high-performance maintenance for schools and daycares
Here are some ideas for proper cleaning and disinfection. By using Thymox MultiSurface, which is more versatile than other disinfectant products, you meet the safety requirements for schools and daycares.
1- Identify frequently touched surfaces and high-risk areas
As you know, schools and daycares are filled with ” hot zones” that contain their share of pathogens. We suggest that you include the following on your list, in addition to those that may be specific to your establishments:
- Water fountains
- Computer keyboards and mouses
- Door handles and switches
- Locker rooms
- Toilet
- Cafeteria trays and microwaves
- Nursing Office
- Refrigerator in the teachers’ room
(there could be surprises!)
2- Disinfect these areas daily to reduce the risk of spreading germs
Disinfecting high-risk areas in schools and daycares should be included in your daily maintenance routine. And to get there, this must be done on certain parameters, in a certain order.
As you know, to carry out effective disinfection, itis necessary to clean first. To fully understand the distinctions and particularities of these steps, we propose this article: https://thymox.com/news/disinfecting-are-using-the-right-product/
First step: cleaning
Cleaning is a fundamental but incomplete step. Cleaning involves removing visible dirt and contaminants. Surfaces and objects then have an appearance of cleanliness. Remember, however, that cleaning does not kill pathogens. It limits the number a little and prevents them from spreading too much.
And of course, cleaning prepares the areas to receive disinfection.
Second step: disinfection
Once surfaces and objects are cleaned, they are ready for effective disinfection. Disinfection aims to kill dangerous pathogens that can spread and contaminate people, large and small. These pathogens include noroviruses (gastroenteritis), SARM and Influenza A virus (influenza).
