Simple Tips to Healthy Schools
For every student entering a school in America there are a million germs and viruses waiting for them as they walk in the door. That’s millions of germs waiting for students, teachers and visitors making the odds a million to one against everyone involved. Germs spread quickly and efficiently in a school environment where they frequently travel from a sneezing child to their hand or desktop and then to another child’s hand and then to the face and mouth or nose where it takes it toll in the form of a cold or flu. Such is life in our schools today. Against these staggering odds, the best bet for schools is to rely on a Professional Commercial Cleaning Service to ensure that the best cleaning and disinfecting products and processes are being used. It must be approached as a battle every day to win a relentless war for our children’s heath and welfare.
