The necessity of regular and professional cleaning in education facilities
Professional cleaning services that clean educational facilities in the Pittsburgh region are aware of the rules and regulations which govern the cleaning of educational spaces. Professional cleaners are trained in the handling and disposing of waste as well as the cleanup procedures for all kinds of situations. Special situations such as the cleaning of nursing stations or disinfection of schools and education facilities include the use of protective equipment such as gloves, goggles and masks. Contaminated or soiled areas are not cleaned with mops or microfiber cloths, which may be the cause of spreading contamination but rather with the help of disposable cleaning equipment.
Green Cleaning services for pre-K and other schools
It is recommended that green cleaning products be used to clean schools. This is because toxic and harmful chemicals that are found in some cleaning agents may lead to harmful effects on the health of students and staff. Severe allergic reactions may result, which can cause eczema or respiratory distress. Long term effects of toxic and harmful chemical cleaning agents have also been recorded. Moreover, toxic chemical cleaning agents are harmful to the environment and may contaminate the soil and ground water.
Disinfection and sanitation in schools
It is important to make sure that schools are not just physically cleaned of visible dirt and dust but also disinfected so that invisible microorganisms such as disease-causing bacteria and viruses are also eliminated. Items that are touched often are sanitized daily by professional educational facility cleaning teams. This includes sanitizing surfaces such as tables, chairs, chair arms, door handles and doorknobs, computer keyboards, learning aids, and toys. Common disinfecting and sanitizing agents that are found in diluted forms in disinfecting cleaning solutions are alcohol, chlorine, and hydrochloric acid.
Cleaning classrooms
Classrooms are swept clean and then dry and wet mopped. Chairs and tables are wiped down and sanitized with disinfecting solution. Fixtures and fittings such as lights and fans are dusted and sanitized.
Maintaining the restrooms in an education facility
The urinals, toilets, showers, and sinks must be washed daily to maintain hygiene in school restrooms. Counters must be cleaned and wiped down with disinfecting solutions. Fixtures such as faucets, soap dispensers, and air dryers must also be wiped down and disinfected. Any lights, fans, exhaust vents, and bright work is dusted to maintain hygiene and prevent the accumulation of dust.
Keeping the grounds and parking lots clean in an educational facility
Grounds are swept clean while parking lots will be washed with pressurized power washers in all educational facilities. Deep cleaning to remove deep-seated stains and ingrained grime may involve abrasive cleaning techniques such as media blasting.

The exterior cladding of educational facilities is cleaned according to the surface material of the cladding. Carbon emissions due to industry and vehicles can cause staining on exterior cladding. mold or algae may also form on exterior cladding, which can spread in wet or humid conditions. These may need to be removed from the exterior cladding. Windows of educational facilities are washed by using de-ionized water and water fed poles.
