Why Educational Facility Cleanliness Drives Student Health and Academic Outcomes

Clean educational facilities can lead to a 20 percent reduction in student absenteeism due to illness, highlighting the importance of hygiene in schools. Schools with comprehensive cleaning programs report up to a 50 percent decrease in the spread of contagious illnesses, such as colds and flu. Studies indicate that students in clean environments perform 15 percent better academically compared to those in unkempt settings, emphasizing the link between cleanliness and educational success.

  • Absenteeism reduction. Comprehensive school cleaning programs materially reduce student sick days and the associated learning loss.
  • Academic performance. Clean environments correlate with measurable improvements in student focus and academic outcomes.
  • Illness containment. Frequent high touch disinfection reduces the spread of contagious illnesses across classrooms and shared spaces.
  • Staff retention. Healthy school environments support teacher and staff retention, which in turn supports student outcomes.

CleanWise Solutions gets it right! They are very professional and care about the health and wellness of the companies they serve. Disinfecting during this time in our human history is ever more important.

When I visit an establishment (especially in healthcare) and I see dusty baseboards and dirty floors I often wonder how well they are cleaning their other instruments. I'm looking to refer these offices to CleanWise to put their customer's and patron's health as a priority!

Frequently Asked Questions

What's included in educational facility cleaning?

Educational facility cleaning typically includes classroom and learning area cleaning, restroom sanitation, cafeteria and common area cleaning, gymnasium and athletic facility care, and specialty space cleaning for labs, art rooms, and computer labs. Scope is tailored to the size of the school, student volume, and the documented cleaning protocols the facility follows.

Do you comply with the Healthy Schools Act?

Yes. The Healthy Schools Act mandates green cleaning products and practices in all DC public schools, and our programs use products certified by EPA Safer Choice, Green Seal, or DfE to support that compliance.

How often should a school be cleaned?

Most schools need daily cleaning of classrooms, restrooms, and high traffic areas, with weekly deep cleaning layered on top. Specialty areas like science labs and gymnasiums often need additional attention based on use patterns. School breaks are typically used for major resets and deep cleaning.
