All schools strive to stay clean and tidy at all times, but there are always areas that are more germ-friendly than others. In this article, the team at JMS Cleaning will look at where the most germ-heavy areas of a school are.

Backpacks

Believe it or not, backpacks pick up a lot of bacteria during a standard school day. Every time your child goes to class, they’ll put their bags on the floor near their desk or hang it up on a wall nearby. These surfaces contain plenty of bacteria that is easily transferred to those backpacks, and then, potentially, the hands of the children who handle them.

Bathroom doors

While you may think that bathrooms are riddled with germs, they are often cleaner than you think. Of course, they still have plenty of germs in there, but bathrooms are cleaned regularly which helps to minimise the levels of bacteria. Bathroom doors, however, are a different story; not every child will wash their hands after using the bathroom, and thus the handles of bathroom doors will be covered in germs.

Playground equipment

Running around at lunch, kids will spread the germs on their hands to the playground equipment they use. Everything from slides to see-saws will contain the germs that kids have picked up during the day, which will in turn be passed on to other children.

Computers

With IT skills and computer literacy becoming a crucial part of children’s education, many schools have computer rooms. With so many children using the same group of computers, keyboards and mice will pick up plenty of germs, which will be picked up by kids as they type and click.

Cafeteria

For a couple of hours a day, hundreds of kids descend on the school cafeteria to eat their lunches, whether they’ve brought their own from home or they get school dinners every day. The tables they sit at will be subject to food spillages, unclean hands and other contaminants that will spread easily during the lunch hour.

School Cleaning Services

In order to minimise the presence of germs in a school, you need the services of a professional cleaning company that you can trust. JMS Cleaning Services offer thorough, efficient school cleaning services for day nurseries, primary schools and secondary schools alike.

The post How Clean is My Child’s School? appeared first on JMS Cleaning Services.

Without further ado, let’s take a look at some of the germiest and dirtiest places in the office.

Computer keyboards

Keyboards can be one of the dirtiest places in the office, not only because we’re constantly touching them, but because food and dust can fall beneath the keys and fester. Regularly cleaning the keyboard with a special brush and cleaning fluid designed for electronics can help to tackle this problem.

Water cooler

The water cooler can be a popular spot to grab some water and have a chat with colleagues but, with a considerable number of hands touching the cooler on a daily basis, it can be easy for germs to accumulate here. If the water cooler isn’t disinfected regularly and glasses cleaned in warm soapy water, germs can easily be spread.

The kitchen sink (and sponge)

The kitchen area can easily harbour dirt and germs, especially when food remnants aren’t quickly cleared. These crumbs and splatters are a breeding ground for bacteria, some of which can be pretty harmful. What’s more, kitchen dish sponges can also be very dirty – often they are left damp and can be prone to mould as well as housing bacteria. One study found that 20% of ‘cleaned’ mugs had traces of coliform bacteria and, after wiping with a communal dish sponge, another 20% tested positive for E.coli.

Desk phones

Office telephones receive a lot of use and can quickly become dirty, particularly if they are shared. Have you ever seen someone cough or sneeze whilst on the phone and then simply replace the receiver? This is a sure way for viruses to spread. Make sure you disinfect the handset and buttons regularly to keep phones clean.

Refrigerator

Practically everyone in the office will open the refrigerator at some point during the day, but few will think about cleaning it. Germs can be quickly transferred to the fridge handle and passed on to the next few people to get out the milk for their coffee. With germs and bacteria able to linger on surfaces, the handle should be cleaned daily. What’s more, in communal kitchens food can easily be forgotten about and left to breed bacteria. It’s a good idea to have a system where unclaimed food is regularly thrown away and the fridge interior is cleaned.

Photocopier/printer

An office photocopier or printer is another prime example of a spot which accumulates germs due to regular use from a multitude of people. The equipment would benefit from daily disinfecting and, during cold and flu season, you may want to consider using hand sanitiser after operation.  

Toilet door handle

This seems like an obvious germ zone but you’d be surprised how many people overlook the door handle. Although you may wash your hands after using the toilet, other people may not and you can pick up germs from the handle as soon as you go to exit the room. All bathroom handles should be on your contract cleaner’s daily schedule for disinfecting to help curb germs.

Coffee pot/machine

With coffee fueling many an office, it’s likely the coffee pot or machine will be heavily used throughout the day by most people in your office. As well as the germs transferred from many different hands, due to the warm environment, coffee machines can also be susceptible to mould. With one study finding that the average coffee pot handle had 34 times more bacteria present than a school toilet seat, you’ll want to make sure this spot benefits from a regular cleaning schedule.

Microwave

The microwave experiences the same problems that other kitchen appliances suffer from when it comes to germs. With many different people using the microwave, germs can easily be transferred from hands to handle, then on to the next user. The potential for contamination doesn’t just stop there though. If you’ve ever given the inside of your office microwave a good look, you’ll likely notice all manner of splashes and food remnants. Particles of old, festering food could easily dislodge and get into uncovered food being heated, contaminating it. Ensure the microwave isn’t passed by during cleaning.

Door handles

Door handles across your office are a key spot which should be given cleaning attention on a daily basis. From entryway doors to meeting room doors, these are spots handled by multiple people every day. One study found that, after placing a virus on one of an office’s entrance door handles, approximately 60% of staff had traces of the virus on their hands within 4 hours. This plainly demonstrates how quick and easily viruses can be spread without sufficient cleaning care.

The problem with germs is that they can easily go unnoticed, due to being an invisible kind of dirt. It is, therefore, important to hire a thorough cleaning company, such as JMS Cleaning, who can keep your premises spick and span. Using professional equipment, an experienced team and tried and tested methods, we carry out consistently high quality contract cleans. If you have enquiries, don’t hesitate to contact us today – we offer cleaning contracts across the North West, including Cheshire, Stockport and Manchester.

How in-house cleaning can increase school absences

Illnesses related to respiratory problems are often caused by airborne particles, such as mould. In a place where children play and learn, it is the perfect environment for bacteria and viruses to transmit between children and spread through surfaces. It is estimated that each student takes 10 days off a year due to these kind of illnesses, as they can often cause stronger symptoms in  younger children. Therefore, it is important to make sure these areas are consistently cleaned with anti-bacterial cleaning products.

Often, schools try to save money by employing in-house cleaners or getting the teachers to clean their own classrooms. This, however, is a self-deprecating cycle, as schools are taking teachers away from what they are employed to do and teachers may be too busy to do the cleaning thoroughly enough. Furthermore, an overworked teacher is more susceptible to illnesses due to a depleted immune system.

Here are 3 reasons why hiring JMS Cleaning Services would benefit your nursery or school:

1. Funding – Schools get funding based off a variety of reasons, one of which is absenteeism. OFSTED uses the rates of absenteeism to determine how responsive the school is in ensuring that students attend and are fully interactive with the curriculum. Funding is cut when absenteeism rates are high – a harsh but effective rule implemented by councils. By hiring JMS Cleaning Services, we can ensure absences caused by illness are reduced, by giving your buildings a deep clean with products that prevent the spread of any viruses and bacteria.
2. Cross contamination – It is common knowledge that bacteria spreads quickly within a heavily used building. Studies show that bacteria placed on a doorknob can spread throughout a building, reaching 40%-60% of surfaces within 2 – 4 hours. By having a school cleaning company consistently eliminating bacteria from surfaces, you will be able to keep absenteeism rates down.
3. Sick pay – Parents often have to use their own holiday or sick leave to look after sick children, costing both your organisation and the parents. Some parents simply can’t afford to take time off work and pay for childcare, so this may cut into your profits due to parents requesting fewer days than before. Those parents that can’t afford to take time off may just send their children into school anyway, causing even more absenteeism when other children fall ill. Parents entrust nurseries and schools to provide the safest environment possible for their children to learn and play in. By paying attention to your organisation’s cleaning methods, you will be able to save parents and yourself a substantial amount of money – meaning our cleaning service will essentially pay for itself.

JMS Cleaning Services offer comprehensive day nursery and school cleaning for customers based in the Manchester, Stockport, and Cheshire area. Our expert team of cleaners are fully experienced and equipped to carry out an extensive cleaning service, using safe and high-grade cleaning treatments for any nursery or school.

Main entrance

The first thing clients see when they enter a building is the entrance and foyer. Make the best impression by investing in a spotless entrance, cleaned regularly by a professional.

• Windows must be cleansed of grease marks and water staining; for this, a specialist window cleaning fluid is applied to make for perfectly transparent glass.
• Doors in modern buildings are often made of sleek glass and stainless steel and therefore need cleansing of fingerprints and grime in much the same way as windows – with a specifically formulated cleaning detergent.
• Surfaces, such as coffee tables and reception desks, are important to keep clean and not just for appearance’s sake; cleaning these vital areas maintains a high standard of hygiene.
• Floor mats stop people from tracking mess into the rest of the building, and as such require a good vacuuming everyday; either before or after business hours is best.
• Refuse bins are crucial for maintaining a tidy appearance. Bin liners must be removed and disposed of appropriately on a daily basis to avoid unpleasant sights and smells.

Stairs

Stairs are busy areas in the building and require care and attention when cleaning. They are worth the time and effort, however, because so much traffic passes through the stairwell.

• Stair and landing carpets are a first port of call because these areas collect the most dirt from people’s shoes. A thorough vacuuming and the occasional stain removal can make a world of difference.
• Hard floors require mopping with a quick drying detergent, as well as using the correct safety signage while the floor dries; once completed, all the grime and dirt is gone and is replaced by an impressive sheen.
• Glass panels give a contemporary and clean look, but only when washed regularly with warm water and cleaning solution.
• Bannisters, railings and dado rails benefit from dusting and a wipe down with antibacterial solution, since these fixtures are regularly handled to aid people up and down the stairs.
• Light fixtures become conspicuous when they are dirty and any build up of cobwebs and insect debris must be removed to maintain a hygienic environment.

Lifts

If you have a lift in your building, it probably does a great job of making your business more accessible for everyone. Because of heavy foot traffic, you get the most from your lift when it is kept spotless. A lift is typically a small space, so its level of hygiene is always noticed quicker than any other larger space in the building.

• Keypads and buttons are pressed by hundreds of people over their lifetime; without a thorough scrub, they can become dirty and unappealing.
• Walls and ceilings, especially those made of glass, stainless steel and mirror fixtures require dusting and wiping down multiple times to remove dirt and avoid streaking.

The post Cleaning Communal Areas in Commercial Properties FAQs appeared first on JMS Cleaning Services.

With offices only growing in size, it’s becoming more and more important to maintain a high level of cleanliness. The more people moving in, out and around the office, the higher the chances of dirt, grime, clutter and general unpleasantness, and this can quickly add up to pose a serious health risk if left unchecked.

In this article, we’re looking at five of the main dangers that present themselves in an unclean workspace, highlighting the importance of a regular, meticulous cleaning schedule.

1. Germs and bacteria

Lazy or sloppy cleaning practices can lead to the fast growth, and propagation, of germs and harmful bacteria in the office. Germs can potentially thrive anywhere throughout the working environment.

From stained desktops, carpets, tiled floors and door handles, to kitchen tops, cups and cutlery, failing to keep the entirety of your office clean means encouraging germs and bacteria to thrive, and this can cause widespread and prolonged illness for a large portion of your workforce.

Use antibacterial cleaning products to kill germs, and make sure to encourage healthy cleaning habits for all of your workers, in public kitchen and eating spaces and personal desk spaces, alike.

2. Mould

The growth of mould occurs when excessive moisture is left to accumulate, whether it’s from water vapour or from spillages that haven’t been cleaned up properly. Just like at home, mould in the office is more likely to develop in areas where water and moisture is common.

The kitchen and toilets are the main culprits, and these are two areas which office workers often fail to keep sufficiently clean. Mould poses many health hazards, from itchiness and skin/throat irritation, to  the formation of rashes, allergic reactions and respiratory problems.

Prevent mould throughout your office by making sure that the kitchen and toilets are cleaned thoroughly, with any spillages or puddles wiped up immediately, and floors and walls wiped dry.

3. Clutter

It’s not just viruses and illnesses you have to watch out for in a dirty office, the presence of clutter can be just as harmful to employees.

Firstly, a cluttered office transmits an unprofessional and lazy atmosphere, which will be a detriment to your overall business reputation.

Secondly, strewn clutter along corridors, behind doors, next to desks, in meeting rooms and elsewhere creates serious trip hazards for employees. Clumsily-placed boxes, coats and bags can obscure fire exits and will make the entire office more difficult and more dangerous to navigate.

Clearing up clutter is a vital part of keeping your office clean and safe, and should never be overlooked.

4. Morale

Simply put, a dirty office is an unpleasant place to work. A clean working environment will go a long way towards keeping your employees happy, productive and motivated day to day.

Open plan office designs are incredibly popular nowadays, but they do come with the consequence of showcasing any unclean habits your employees might have.

Tidy workers will be dismayed if they are surrounded by dirt, clutter, spillages or stains, and a negative atmosphere can quickly circulate throughout the office if it isn’t kept regularly clean.

Sooner rather than later, you’ll see this affecting your business as a whole.

5. Sick leave

As we’ve said in previous points, there are a number of health hazards associated with an unclean office. From niggling irritations to more severe respiratory problems and outbreaks of flu, a dirty office environment can force large numbers of staff to take more sick days than they usually would.

Employee absence can bring any business grinding to a halt, particularly when it becomes a regular occurrence because you haven’t taken the proper steps to keep your workplace hygienic.

Professional, periodic cleaning of your office space will dramatically improve the base level of cleanliness in the workplace, keeping employees healthier for longer, so they can carry on working hard without risking their own personal health day after day.

The post The Top 5 Dangers of an Unclean Workplace appeared first on JMS Cleaning Services.

It’s vital for any business or public building to prevent against the threat of pest infestation, so this month we’re looking at the how regularly cleaning your office, school, restaurant or shop can stop any pests from taking over your premises and causing harm to any workers, patrons or visitors.

Removing food residue

Different pests are attracted to different things. Food will be a common attraction for a number of different pests, such as rats and mice as well as specific beetles. If you let your commercial space build up with food residue and crumbs, an infestation will be waiting to happen. For this reason, regular floor cleaning is incredibly important. Carpets, rugs and tiled floors in kitchens and eating areas will be a magnet for all sorts of foodstuff, and a thorough vacuum, scrubbing or deep clean will purge surfaces of any nasty spills or grime which would otherwise be a feeding ground for pests.

Bin cleaning

Bins are a common cause of infestation, being particularly alluring for rats, so keeping them clean and emptying them regularly won’t offer pests a chance to mark their territory.

This goes for inside and outside – particularly in restaurants, cafes and kitchens in general. Your outdoor bin area should be kept as clean as possible. Clean up any spills from torn refuse bags – leaving spilled food out in the open is an open invitation for rodents – and keep lids closed to avoid an influx of flies, wasps and insects.

Disinfectant

Regularly disinfecting the various surfaces around the building will stop the spread of germs, and will also clear areas of all the sweet smelling leftovers that pests find so attractive. Kitchens should be kept in pristine condition, with daily scrubbing and spraying making sure worktops, sinks, ovens, walls and floors are spick and span and free from the aftermath of morning, lunchtime and afternoon snacking.

Bathrooms and toilets will also be a primary focus, as these rooms can attract a variety of nasty pests. Cockroaches are a particular risk, so cleaning up water and fluid spillages is vital.

In an office environment, desks will be a prime location for pests. Crumbs, spillages, leftover food and more can all be harbored on or around the desks, creating a feeding ground for unwanted insects, flies and more. Obviously, this causes a huge health hazard to employees, with many pests carrying and spreading disease or illness, and these can spread even faster around desks. Disinfecting workstations and generally keeping them free from built up food residue – particularly old fruit – will make for a happier and healthier workspace for all.

Deep cleans

The most thorough cleaning process available, a deep clean will utilise all of the most effective cleaning materials available to clean every nook and cranny throughout the premises. A deep clean can help bring your business from the brink of infestation to a clean, spotless and hygienic space.

A deep clean is the perfect preparation for a more regular cleaning regime. Deep cleans deal with the worst of the grime, producing a much cleaner standard for your premises which can be maintained by regular cleans either weekly, daily or monthly as necessary.

Deep cleans will clear much of the unhygienic mess caked into your premises, from carpets and rugs to clutter-filled storage rooms, kitchens, cafeterias and more.

With infestations, prevention is all about making sure there isn’t a source for rodents, insects or flies to latch on to. Regular and deep cleaning your business will remove most of the sources of infestation, and much of the sustenance that keeps pests thriving and allows them to live long enough to multiply. The cleaner your building is, the less likely you’ll suffer an infestation, so if you haven’t yet figured out a regular cleaning program, or are in need of help from professional, meticulous cleaners, why not give JMS Cleaning Services a call?

A Clean Home

Perhaps the most obvious advantage to hiring a cleaning service is that you will always have a clean home! If you own a large house, it can be difficult to ensure that every room looks spotless at all times, with dust quick to accumulate in disused rooms. A professional cleaning service has the time and skill to keep every area of your large home looking clean and tidy at all times, allowing you to enjoy your time in your home more.

Time Saver

Keeping your home looking tidy can be difficult when you have a large house, on top of other commitments such as work, children, and finding time to socialise and enjoy your hobbies too. Hiring a professional cleaning service provides that added bit of help you need, freeing up your time to focus on other aspects of your busy schedule without worrying about the house becoming a mess in the meantime.

Less Stress

Maintaining a large home to high standards can be a stressful task, with constant attention required in order to keep it looking great. A professional cleaning service takes some of that pressure off you, and removes a large portion of the stressful workload too!

A Professional Clean

Our staff undergo extensive training to ensure they can use cleaning equipment correctly in order to provide the most thorough clean for your home. Hiring a professional cleaning service guarantees that your home receives the attention it needs, reaching all the nooks and crannies that you may not have the time or experience to clean yourself.

Safety

Large homes can pose a safety risk to the inexperienced cleaner, with excess cleaning and trying to reach high ceilings having the potential to cause an injury without the proper training. A professional cleaning service ensures your safety by removing the need for you to carry out cleaning jobs that could put you at risk – our staff are highly trained to ensure they have the experience and skill to carry out all work required of them safely.

The post Why you should hire cleaning services if you live in a large home appeared first on JMS Cleaning Services.

Here at JMS Cleaning Services, our team have a wealth of experience cleaning schools and day nurseries to a high quality.

We specialise in Day Nursery Cleaning, if you need our help, give us a call on [ld_default] for a quote today!

We’ve listed some of the reasons why regular cleaning for a day nursery is essential below.

Covid-19 School Safety

To prevent the spread of Covid-19, it is important that all staff and students can wash / sanitise their hands regularly. Be sure to have sanitising stations or pumps around the school.

The Government have said that the use of face coverings by staff and pupils in some schools, and to learners in further education is mandatory. Children aged 12 and over should wear a mask under the same conditions as adults.

– Wash your Hands, Wear a Mask and Social Distance.

See more Government information.

Clean environment

Regular cleaning of your day nursery will ensure there is a consistently tidy, hygienic environment. Regardless of the health benefits of a clean nursery, regular maintenance makes it an overall better place for the children to spend their day in, and for staff to work in.

– Clean workplaces, schools, and nurseries all promote a more welcoming, positive atmosphere, so employing cleaning services to keep your day nursery spick and span will make everyone happier to be there.

Food safety

It can be difficult to keep track of all the children in a day nursery, and to make sure they are washing their hands at appropriate times. This can often lead to food becoming contaminated, or surfaces used to prepare food not being clean.

Having a regular cleaning service will ensure surfaces are frequently cleared of bacteria and stay hygienic for food to be prepared on or eaten off.

– With young children particularly susceptible to illness or even food poisoning from bacteria picked up when handling improperly prepared food, it is essential that these areas are kept clean constantly.

Infection prevention

Young children and babies are vulnerable to germs, lacking the immune systems that enable adults to easily fight off germs that can be picked up from food and surfaces and transmitted through the eyes, nose, and mouth.

Germs picked up by young children in the day nursery could quickly lead to infection and illness, so it’s essential that the environment is kept clean and germ-free.

– Our regular cleaning service sanitizes every surface, ensuring that germs that may be found throughout the day nursery are eradicated, preventing infection to the children.

Professional cleaning

Your employees may not have the time or the adequate training to ensure your day nursery is cleaned thoroughly and on a regular basis. This is essential to ensure the spread of infection and illness to young children is eliminated, so the best course of action is to hire a professional cleaning service to take the burden off your staff.
