As the last remaining weeks of summer begin to draw to a close, it is time once again to brace for the upcoming academic school year. If these past few years have taught us anything, it’s that being proactive against the spread of bacteria, germs, and more by having a proper safety strategy in place is paramount in order to ensure a safe environment for both students and faculty alike. With COVID-19 not necessarily in the rearview just yet and other variants emerging out of the woodwork constantly, you can never be too careful with having a proper strategy in place to keep every segment of your school disinfected. In this week’s blog, we will provide a well-rounded strategy to keep your classrooms, cafeterias, locker rooms, restrooms, and more safe from harmful bacteria this school year!

Did you know that there are as many as 2.7 million bacterial cells per square inch on common school surfaces such as water fountains, desks, computer keyboards, and more? With children spending the vast majority of their day in class, this is likely where germs spread the most from children sharing items and touching numerous surfaces. To help assist in keeping classrooms healthy for students and faculty alike, we present the 4 following product recommendations that will help protect your students all school year long.

• Nutra-Max: First up is the proven one-step disinfectant, sanitizer, bactericide, fungicide, and virucide better known as Nutra-Max. Nutra-Max is EPA registered and works phenomenally at destroying bacteria and viruses on any non-porous surface. Nutra-Max has been proven to kill any trace of the COVID-19 viruses as well as a number of other viruses. With its fresh fragrance, Nutra-Max is a welcome addition to any classroom looking to mitigate the spread of infectious germs and bacteria as the school year commences.

• Lemon APD: Bacteria and germs are not just limited to the classrooms. Another common area where bacteria such as Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) and more can spread is the locker room. Student-athletes can work up quite a sweat from their games and practices and leaving these areas unattended can create a hostile breeding ground for unseen threats. We recommend our Lemon APD in this setting which works terrifically as a cleaner, disinfectant, deodorizer, and virucide while leaving behind a wonderful lemon citrus fragrance.

• In-Cide: Next up is one of our most powerful tools geared to help keep the classroom safe this year which is our In-Cide Ready-to-Use disinfectant spray. In-Cide is a nationally recognized product and trusted by families from coast to coast when it comes to fighting an array of viruses. This product cleans, disinfects, and deodorizes all in one easy step to maximize cleanliness while making cleaning a breeze. In-Cide’s strength is in its versatility as it works as a bactericide, disinfectant, fungicide, sanitizer, and virucide. In other words, In-Cide destroys bacteria, fungi, and viruses that can be living on surfaces such as desks, computer keyboards, backpacks, school supplies, and more. Aside from the classroom, bathrooms are another arena where In-Cide can help eliminate an array of bacteria as well.

• Food Contact Surface Sanitizer: Rounding out our group of powerful disinfectants is our Food Contact Surface Sanitizer. As the name suggests, this phenomenal product works well in the kitchen or specifically for school, the cafeteria. Food Contact Surface Sanitizer kills 99.999% of bacteria commonly found on kitchen surfaces in 60 seconds. Threats found in the kitchen such as salmonella enterica, cross-contamination, and more fall to the wayside thanks to the incredible fighting power of this reliable product.

At all ages, schools can be a hotbed of numerous germs and bacteria in the atmosphere making it quite effortless for children to spread these invisible threats. There’s no precaution too great when it comes to keeping our future generation of leaders safe in the environment intended to mold their young minds. With the above-mentioned quartet of Nutra-Max, Lemon APD, In-Cide Ready-to-Use Disinfectant, and Food Contact Surface Sanitizer in your school’s arsenal, you’ll be highly prepared for whatever this upcoming academic school year throws out at you. In conjunction with proper cleaning practices, wearing a mask, and social distancing, relying on these products to eliminate what can’t be seen by the naked eye will only add a layer of safety to the classroom, locker room, cafeteria, and any other common area in your school. Thank you for taking the time for reading this informative article and we hope it helps as the 2022 academic school year commences!
