With flu season approaching, how often should we do a deep clean of desks and chairs?
During flu season, increase cleaning frequency significantly. Here's a recommended schedule:
| Cleaning Type | Frequency | What to Do |
|---|---|---|
| Daily Wipe-Down | Every day | Disinfect high-touch surfaces: desktops, chair backs, armrests |
| Between Classes | If possible | Quick wipe of shared desks (rotating classrooms) |
| Weekly Deep Clean | Once per week | Vacuum fabric chairs, sanitize all surfaces thoroughly |
| Monthly Mega-Clean | Monthly | Steam clean fabric, disinfect every surface, check for damage |
| As Needed | Immediately | Spot-clean spills, stains, or visible dirt |
Flu Season Special Protocol:
- Use EPA-approved disinfectants effective against flu virus
- Allow surfaces to stay wet for contact time (usually 3-5 minutes)
- Pay special attention to: desk corners, chair undersides, pencil sharpeners, door handles
- Don't forget shared supplies like markers, computers, lab equipment
