Cleaning Services for Colleges and Universities: Why Cleanliness Is Crucial For Your Campus

Jan 09, 2023

When searching for the ideal college or university, both students and parents take a number of aspects into account. Given that students will spend a significant portion of their lives in these facilities, one of the important considerations is how clean the facilities are.


A clean institution promotes a healthy learning environment for the students and teaches them to respect the property and the environment that they are in. It also gives parents peace of mind about student safety. In this day and age, cleaning in educational facilities is more challenging than ever. Here are some of the ways partnering with Rapid Clean can benefit your campus.

Reduced Health Risks 


Given that the pandemic is still fresh in everyone's thoughts, knowing that your college or university is routinely and thoroughly cleaned by experienced cleaning services, will comfort students, parents, and staff, that you are doing everything possible to keep people safe. The most efficient strategy to stop the spread of viruses and bacteria is to keep all surfaces clean, including classrooms, lecture theatres, equipment, floors, sports facilities, canteens and toilets. Consistency is the key to keeping the facilities free of germs and stopping the spread of infections and viruses.


A Positive First Impression for Visitors


The initial impression a college or university makes on a potential student, parent, Ofsted inspector, or visitor, is critical. By hiring a reputable professional cleaning company, you can make sure that your first impression is positive, from neat classrooms and polished floors, to spotless dining halls and windows. It demonstrates that both private and public colleges and universities take pleasure in their appearance and are dedicated to giving everyone who uses it a safe and healthy environment.


A Better Learning Experience


The quality of learning is greatly influenced by our environment; studies have shown that educational facilities that are cleaner, do better than those that aren't. Students' performance within education will also be impacted by an unclean learning environment; a survey showed that 44% of students felt they would gain a better qualification if their surroundings were cleaner and more organised. Additionally, a tidy, organised, and clean learning environment, can help students focus on tasks much more easily than a chaotic one, which can cause students to get sidetracked.


Reduced Absences


It is only natural for teachers and staff to get ill when students do. Viruses can live on surfaces for up to 72 hours before spreading to everyone who touches them. High-traffic areas such as desks, doorknobs, computer keyboards, and other teaching materials, should be frequently sanitised. When the institution is maintained well, it leads to fewer absences, improved classroom interaction, and consequently a more fulfilling learning environment.


At Rapid Clean we have a wealth of experience in cleaning education facilities and understand that every education facility has differing needs, so we aim to be as flexible as possible. Our team of qualified and professional cleaning operatives are carefully selected, and DBS-checked.
