Free Webinar & Guide: Back-To-School Disinfection Protocols That Work

From wiping desks to disinfecting locker rooms, schools have a big job when it comes to keeping students and teachers healthy. At BradyPLUS, we know that smart cleaning practices can make a powerful difference, today and all year long.

Clean schools are safe schools. They help kids stay in class and reduce teacher sick days. They also show parents and staff that safety is taken seriously. That’s why we’re sharing tools, training, and protocols that simplify disinfection in K12 buildings, from the front office to the cafeteria.

 

The Heart of a Healthy School: Effective Disinfection

As highlighted by our trusted partner CloroxPro, the right cleaning strategy can reduce absenteeism and help control the spread of germs like flu, norovirus, and even COVID-19. Their approach, and ours, focuses on three core benefits:

• Healthy Students: A clean classroom helps students focus and thrive.
• Protected Teachers: Disinfection protects educators and keeps instruction consistent.
• Stronger Communities: Fewer absences = better learning outcomes and less disruption.

 

Help Stop the Spread of Cold & Flu

Cold and flu season hits schools hard, especially from November through March. Germs spread fast in classrooms, lunchrooms, and hallways.

But with smart disinfection strategies, schools can stay ahead of illness. Here’s how:

• Disinfect shared surfaces daily, like door handles, desks, and keyboards.
• Encourage handwashing before lunch and after restroom breaks
• Make disinfecting wipes available so staff and students can clean up in between
• Keep sick students and staff home when they're not feeling well

These simple steps can help reduce sick days and keep learning on track.

Not All Disinfecting Wipes Are the Same. Find the Right One for Your Facility.

When it comes to keeping schools clean, wipes are one of the easiest tools to use. But did you know not all disinfecting wipes kill the same germs or work on every surface? Some are safer for surfaces like desks and screens. Knowing the difference can help your team clean smarter and faster.
