Being a teacher means a constant busy schedule, simple cleaning tasks become the last thing on a teacher’s priority list, so a messy and unorganised space becomes a problem. If this sounds a lot like you, worry no more as throughout this blog, we will share some hacks you can follow in order to make your teaching life and cleaning schedule equally balanced.
In a school, a safe and clean environment is one of the top priorities. That is why regular cleaning should be done in order to protect pupils as well as staff. First and foremost, you should create a cleaning schedule. This will benefit you massively with staying on track and up to date with cleans. Break down different types of cleaning tasks into daily, weekly, and monthly routines. You can assign pupils their own designated task, such as putting pens away, as another way to stay on top of cleans and make them a lot easier to manage.
We recommend using storage boxes and labels to neatly organise classroom supplies. This will make it easier for both you and the students to find what you need quicker, saving time, and reducing clutter.
You should always keep disinfectant wipes on hand at all times. They can kill viruses and bacteria on hard surfaces, doorknobs, and any kind of countertop. There will be many instances in a classroom where disinfectant wipes will be needed, so it is handy to always have some at the ready!
One of the most genius hacks we can give to teachers is to use a lint roller to clean up hard-to-shift messes such as glitter. After an arts and crafts session, take a lint roller across surfaces to pick up any mess and debris.
Maintaining a clean and organised classroom does not have to be overwhelming. By implementing these simple yet effective hacks into your classroom, you will be well on your way to a welcoming and productive classroom for both you and your students.
