As children return to school after the December holidays, their health and safety are a top priority. With high-touch surfaces and crowded classrooms, schools are prime places for germs to spread. One of the most effective ways to prevent illness is through regular hand sanitising. This is where Palmtree Hygiene plays a key role in maintaining cleanliness and promoting healthier environments.
Why Hand Sanitisers Are Essential in Schools
Schools are high-traffic areas where students interact and share materials, making them prone to cross-contamination. Germs can spread quickly, leading to sickness and absenteeism. Hand sanitisers are essential for reducing the spread of harmful bacteria and viruses in these environments.
Palmtree Hygiene offers hand sanitisers with at least 60% alcohol content, proven to kill a wide range of germs. Providing students with easy access to hand sanitisers throughout the day reduces the transfer of bacteria from surfaces to hands, and from hands to faces, food, or peers. This simple measure promotes a safe learning environment and minimises the risk of illness.
Promoting Healthy Habits in the Classroom
To make hand sanitising a regular part of the school day, ensure students have access to sanitiser throughout the day. Here are a few ways to incorporate Palmtree Hygiene into your school’s routine:
Classroom Stations: Place hand sanitisers at classroom entrances and near common areas.
Portable Sanitisers: Encourage students to carry personal hand sanitisers. Palmtree Hygiene offers convenient travel-sized bottles perfect for on-the-go use.
Staff Involvement: Teachers and staff should lead by example, using hand sanitisers regularly.
Sanitising Breaks: Schedule "sanitising breaks" before meals, after recess, or during transitions.
Creating a Hygienic School Environment
In addition to hand sanitising, schools should focus on cleaning high-touch areas like desks, doorknobs, and computer keyboards. Regular cleaning combined with hand sanitising creates a comprehensive approach to hygiene. Teaching students the importance of sanitising and handwashing will help make these practices a regular part of their routine.
