FAQ: Beyond Optics: The Importance of Cleaning in Educational Facilities

Oct. 24, 2025

Summary:  When you think of educational facility cleaning, what comes to mind? If it’s buckets, mops and rags, that’s not really cleaning — it’s moving dirt and germs around. The result is an environment that may look clean, but really isn’t. Creating hygienically clean classrooms and common spaces requires a more thorough approach.
In our Q&A guide to school cleaning solutions, Beyond Optics: The Importance of Cleaning in Educational Facilities, an expert offers insights into the challenges of school cleaning and maintenance:

•    Physical health concerns. Having a lot of people in an enclosed space is an invitation to the spread of disease. Spraying cleaner and wiping it around doesn’t create cleanliness at a biological level.
•    Financial implications. For schools that receive funding based on attendance, excessive absenteeism can be very costly. In addition, poor cleaning strategies can cause the assets themselves to break down over time.
•    Reputation and well-being. A clean environment not only enhances the impression the facility makes on students, teachers, parents and staff, it creates important psychological benefits as well.

Surprisingly, cost-effective school cleaning with the right no-touch equipment can address all of these issues, with less time and money spent on the process while providing a healthier learning environment. Read more here.
