We Clean and Disinfect Daycares
8/11/2021 (Permalink)
As we continue opening businesses, we all want to make sure that buildings are cleaned and sanitized, especially those with our little ones in it.
When returning to work, no parent should have to stress about their children being safe while at a childcare program such as daycare. It is imperative to ensure that all high-touch surfaces and areas are cleaned and disinfected before children come in.
Areas that should be cleaned include:
-Offices
-Playrooms
-Cribs
-Bedding
-Bathrooms
-Common play areas
High-touch surfaces include:
-Doorknobs
-Counters
-Changing tables
-Toys
-Light switches
-Faucet handles
-Toilets
-Tablets
-Keyboards
-Crib railings
Remember to always clean from the least contaminated areas (light switches, doorknobs) to the most contaminated areas (faucet, toilet, handle).
Daycare Health Strategies:
Daycare staff and parents can promote a healthy environment for children to follow. These healthy learning and play measures include:
-Encourage hand washing with real soap for at least 20 seconds.
-Put hand sanitizer in numerous stations around the facility for daycare workers and older children.
-Provide disinfectant wipes for workers to wipe down items and surfaces such as toys, tables, chairs, learning stations, inside recreational areas, outside playground equipment, and other frequently touched items or surfaces.
-Workers may wear disposable gloves when needed and appropriate.
-Remind parents and workers of daycare sickness policy.
-Coordinate with the facility cleaning team regarding special measures to be taken during flu and cold season or during periods of a significant increase in sickness.
These measures are very simple and can help keep childcare programs happy and healthy. Call SERVPRO of Greeley/Windsor at 970-353-1388. We answer our phones 24/7/365 which puts our professional technicians onsite quicker.
