After a difficult school year full of challenges, summer is finally here. Now it is time to prepare your classrooms for the break and the upcoming school year. Your main goal should be minimizing the amount of cleaning and maintenance you'll have to do in a few months when students return.

Many schools are turning to building services contractors like Supreme Maintenance Organization to handle their increasing cleaning demand. Hiring a company like SMO will improve the health and safety of your school and will lower the environmental impact of your cleaning procedures because they have a green cleaning program.

Importance of Summer Prep Work

Summertime is a great opportunity to make sure your school is clean and well-maintained for the upcoming school year. Empty classrooms will provide your janitorial team with the opportunity to disinfect the area and thoroughly clean your entire facility.

School cleaning services will also help prevent issues from becoming major problems such as pest infestation or maintenance failures. Summer is also the perfect time to have your janitorial staff prepare your school for a safe return during the pandemic. The CDC (Centers for Disease Control) has issued recommendations for preparing K-12 classrooms for students. Supreme Maintenance Organization keeps their janitorial teams educated and informed of all the latest CDC recommendations.
