Cleaning & Janitorial Essentials for the New School Year
3 February 2025
A clean, hygienic school environment is a must to ensure an effective learning space and professional reputation. Equip your facility with the right tools to save time and create a safer, more welcoming environment for students, staff, and visitors. Discover the must-have essentials for back-to-school cleaning.
Powerful Vacuum Cleaners for Spotless Floors
Schools face heavy foot traffic, making floors prone to dirt and spills. A reliable vacuum is essential for daily upkeep. For versatility, consider the Makita VX2 Brushless Wet/Dry Vacuum. Need mobility? The Nilfisk GD5 commercial backpack vacuum is ideal for large areas.
Versatile Mops, Buckets and Squeegees for Everyday Cleaning
Mops and buckets are essential for tackling spills and maintaining hard floors in classrooms, hallways, kitchens, and washrooms. Whether it’s traditional wringer mops, squeeze mops, or floor squeegees for drying large areas like basketball courts, having the right tools simplifies the job.
Microfibre mop heads are highly effective at trapping dirt and germs while using less water and detergent. Pair them with colour-coded buckets, like the RapidClean Cleaners Mop Bucket, to minimise cross-contamination between areas like bathrooms and cafeterias.
Work Smarter with Janitor Carts
Janitor carts streamline cleaning by keeping all supplies and tools in one mobile station, enabling faster, more organised workflows. The Platinum Janitors Cart and Mark II Cart from Oates are sturdy options suitable for schools.
Features to look for when selecting a cart:
• Multiple compartments to store cleaning chemicals, wipes, and equipment.
• Holders for wet floor signs to ensure safety.
• Durable wheels for smooth mobility on any floor type.
• Sturdy construction for daily use.
Sparkling Windows Made Easy with Cleaning Kit
Equip your team with the right window cleaning tools, like extendable squeegees and streak-free cleaning solutions, to maintain bright and cheerful windows in the classroom.
• Extendable squeegees for hard-to-reach windows.
• Powerful cleaning solutions to cut through grime and dry streak-free. We like Windex Glass Cleaner, available in a cost-effective 5L value pack.
• Scrapers for stubborn adhesives or paint.
Why Quality Cleaning Tools Matter
