Innovative hygiene solutions to help schools, colleges and universities ensure high hygiene standards to protect staff, students and equipment.
As educational establishments prepare to re-open their doors after lockdowns, the priority is to keep students and staff safe and healthy while providing the best-quality learning and development.
Large numbers of users, close contact between staff and students, and interactive learning and play mean germs can spread easily and quickly and lead to viral infections. The provision of adequate facilities in educational environments is a basic requirement and includes the prevention and spread of infection, but maintaining the right standards of hygiene during peak periods when footfall is high can be difficult.
Hygiene is important for parents, too, as the quality of hygiene provision in schools is one of the key criteria that influence prospective parents.
Our range of innovative hygiene solutions can help to ensure education providers reduce the risk of infections and encourage high standards of hygiene in staff and students.

Schools, colleges and universities need to have a proper hand washing system in place as failing to wash and dry hands properly can cost the education system millions of sick days, for students and staff. Hand washing is the most important thing you can do to keep from getting sick.
Areas of high traffic with many people passing through during the day. 80% of dirt can be brought into a building through people's shoes. Entrance mats are needed to encourage students, staff and visitors to wipe their feet.
Introducing educational resources on hygiene can help to improve awareness of good practices. Reducing your carbon footprint can be done with the provision of automated taps that reduce water consumption especially in science classrooms.
Make sure that staff have been trained on correct handwashing methods, particularly when food is being handled. Clean food preparation areas and disinfect work surfaces regularly to reduce the risk of cross-contamination.
Toilet seats, sinks and flush handles can transmit germs. Regularly sanitise surfaces. All female washrooms should be well-provisioned with feminine hygiene facilities.
Ensuring staff are adequately trained and are able to easily access hygiene solutions is an essential way to help stop the journey of the germ between staff and students.
Computer keyboards are the home for thousands of microbes per square inch. Teachers need to encourage students to clean computer desk areas regularly and provide surface sanitisers.
Teaching children to understand the importance of hygiene is an essential part of their education. With their less developed immune systems, infections are more easily caught. Take a look at our teachers toolkit for guidance on how to help prevent the spread of germs and build hygiene awareness.
