Carrying out school sanitation is not just the task of the staff. By maintaining school hygiene, you will be proud of the image of the school and will have a valuable experience taking care of the environment. Whether you do small things every day or participate in a school cleaning campaign, you help keep your school clean!

Steps

Method 1 of 2: Create a daily cleaning routine

1. 

   Clean the sole on the carpet before entering the school. Dirty soil, pollen, and leaves can get on the student's shoe soles, causing the floor to become dirty. Avoid this problem by cleaning the soles before you enter the school gate.
   • If the school does not have foot mats, you can gently rub the soles of your shoes on the curb before entering the school.
   • Propose to your principal to buy foot mats for the school if you don't have any at the moment. You might suggest setting up a fundraiser to buy foot mats if the school doesn't have the budget.

2. 

   
   
   Put trash in the trash. It's no big deal if the candy shell falls out of your pocket, however over time garbage will increase and make the school's image look messy. If you see someone put something in, pick it up and put it in the trash.
   • If you see used tissue or something on the ground, use a scavenger towel so you don't have to touch it.
   • Encourage your friends to also pick up trash the way you do.

3. 

   
   
   Recycle paper, glass, and plastic. Recycling reduces the amount of waste that gets into the soil, so you help clean the environment and keep the school clean.
   • If your school does not participate in a recycling program, suggest a teacher or principal launch the movement.

4. 

   Arrange furniture neatly after use. If you take a book off a shelf in class or use a microscope in a lab, make sure you put them back in their original position after use. Leaving things around makes the classroom cluttered and messy.

5. 

   
   
   Wipe the lunch table clean before you leave. Do not leave cartons, curled napkins, or food chunks on the table. Arrange your chairs neatly when you leave the dining room table, and be sure to check the floor to make sure you didn't drop anything.

6. 

   Wipe off any water stains immediately. If you spill drinking water, you should clean it up immediately. Use a tissue or ask the teacher's permission to mop the floor to wipe away stains.

7. 

   Be careful not to damage the display around the field. Teachers sometimes place landscape paintings, art paintings, or science projects around the school in honor of the students' hard work. If you see these exhibits, be very careful not to knock or drop them, as this can lead to serious chaos. advertisement

Method 2 of 2: Organize school cleaning days

1. 

   Get permission from the school to organize a school cleaning event. Organize school events so groups of students, teachers, and even parents can help clean up the campus. This event can take place during lunch, after school, or on a weekend.
   • Go to the office and ask your secretary if you can meet with the principal to discuss hosting such an event. Prepare notes on a few specific issues that you will accomplish during the event in advance.
   • For example, you might say, "We need a group of friends who will pick up trash from the yard and clean the glasses in class on Saturday."
   • Before the meeting, ask your teachers and friends to sign a petition to show their support for the event.

2. 

   Gather cleaning tools. If the school already has those items available, you can borrow them to use them during the school cleaning event. On the other hand, you may need to call for a fundraiser to buy the necessary cleaning tools. Depending on your cleaning needs, you will need the following tools:
   • Rubber gloves
   • Cleaning solution spray bottle
   • Clothes
   • Garbage bag
   • Brush
   • Toilet scrub brush
   • Equiment to doing garden

   Expert tips: Mix 1 teaspoon of castille vegetable soap with one liter of deionized water in a spray bottle for all-purpose cleaning solution. Deionized water is water that has been stripped of its charged atoms and molecules; It is a very powerful cleaning agent and can remove virtually any stain.

3. 

   Propaganda about the event. If you have permission to organize a school cleaning day, ask if you can distribute flyers to propagate the event. You can also advertise the event during the meeting or morning news.
   • Don't underestimate the power of word of mouth. Ask your friends to find more students to register for the event.
   • Try saying, "Hey, we'll clean around the school together on Saturday. We'll have a pizza party after that. Come and help us out!"

4. 

   Create a group for your students on the day of the event. Each group will be responsible for completing a specific task. This will ensure that no friends wander around or clean up something others have already done.
   • For example, you will need one team to clean the stains on the bathroom wall, while another group is clearing weeds and sweeping the school grounds.

5. 

   Focus on cleaning areas that are often neglected. It would be a waste to spend your cleaning days doing the chores that the janitor did every day. Make the most of this meaningful day by completing things that are often overlooked, such as cleaning chairs in lecture halls or dusting off cabinets.
   • You can also get permission to plant flowers around campus, such as the flower beds near the school gate.

6. 

   Practice safe cleaning practices. When cleaning, be sure to carefully read and follow all instructions on all cleaning tools. Please wear rubber gloves when cleaning chemicals such as detergents.
   • To avoid infection, do not touch used tissues when emptying the trash. Always wear disposable gloves or wash your hands with soap and water after cleaning.

7. 

   Set up a club to organize this event regularly. If the event goes well, you might consider getting permission to set up a regular school cleaning club. You will need to meet once a week, every day at lunchtime, or once every six months, depending on the need and frequency with which the principal agrees to host the event. advertisement
