Every student looks forward to winter break. It’s a great time to take a break from studying, rest from everyday duties and enjoy some free time. For schools, the winter pause in classes is a chance for a thorough cleaning: tidying up classrooms, cleaning the floors in hallways and the gym, and washing and disinfecting the restrooms.

See how to plan a deep clean of a school and which Tenzi professional cleaning products to use at each stage of the work. You’ll find all the information you need in the article below.

  1. How to Clean School Hallways Effectively

Hundreds of people pass through school hallways every day. Over the school year they take a real beating, so they deserve attention first. Cleaning hallways isn’t just about appearance – it’s also a matter of health. Regular cleaning of surfaces, especially in high-traffic areas, helps limit the spread of microorganisms and supports the well-being of everyone at school.

Cleaning school hallway floors is best started by stripping old and damaged polymer coatings. For this, we recommend Tenzi TopEfekt Total, which quickly dissolves built-up layers of wax, acrylic and polyurethane, among others, and is safe for the surfaces being cleaned.

  1. Step Two – Protecting Floors with Tenzi Products

Next comes protecting and maintaining the floors to keep them in good condition and improve their durability and appearance. The main maintenance tasks include cleaning, protective treatment and daily care, which help prevent wear-and-tear damage.

To protect school floors, we recommend Tenzi TFC Coating, which effectively protects surfaces against damage and dirt penetration. It gives surfaces a high gloss without polishing and makes cleaning easier. Tenzi TFC Coating has anti-slip properties, and it also extends the life of floors and improves their appearance.

  1. Daily Washing and Care – Which Products to Use?

Washing is the next important part of caring for school hallway floors. It’s important that hallways stay clean for a long time and that washing them doesn’t take a lot of effort. Floors collect dust, sand, mud and food stains. Regular washing removes this dirt and improves the overall look of the space.

It’s worth using cleaning products that are safe for the health of students and teachers and for the environment, and that contain no corrosive substances. The entire hallway floor should be cleaned, including hard-to-reach areas such as corners and edges along the walls, where the most dirt collects.

For cleaning floors, TopEfekt Diam – a cleaning and care product for hard floor surfaces with anti-slip, anti-glare and antistatic properties – is a good choice.

  1. Cleaning School Restrooms – a Key Part of Ensuring Hygiene

Thoroughly cleaning school restrooms is the next task in the deep clean during the break. Restrooms must be washed very carefully, especially in heavily used areas, to prevent dirt and unpleasant odors from building up. Hygienic cleaning of toilets, sinks, mirrors and floors helps remove bacteria, viruses and other microorganisms and ensures good sanitary and hygienic conditions.

An important cleaning step is disinfecting the toilets, which helps prevent the spread of bacteria and ensures hygienic conditions for students. For cleaning restrooms, it’s worth using products that remove dirt effectively but are safe for health and don’t irritate the skin. For daily washing of toilets and sanitary fixtures, we recommend WC-Sanit. Heavy soiling is easily handled by WC Żel Kamień i Rdza, a toilet gel for removing limescale and rust.

Don’t forget to disinfect other surfaces too. Regularly cleaning doors, door handles and light switches helps maintain cleanliness and prevents bacteria from spreading. This is important for the safety of both students and school staff. For disinfection, we recommend the antibacterial and antifungal liquid DS-1 GT. It is easy to use, requires no rinsing and works in just one minute

  1. A Clean Gym – Comfort and Safety

The gym needs regular cleaning. Cleanliness creates a pleasant and comfortable environment for physical activity. Proper cleaning, especially after intense workouts, helps prevent unpleasant odors and keeps the air fresh.

Keeping the gym clean improves comfort for its users and helps preserve the space and its equipment, extending their service life. Good ventilation and regular floor cleaning help eliminate moisture that could encourage mold and fungi. Clean gym floors are also important for safety, as they help prevent slips and the injuries they cause.

Cleaning should start with TopEfekt STR. It is an alkaline cleaner suitable for, among other things, deep cleaning heavily soiled sports floors. It dissolves old dirt and grime tracked in from outside.

Shoe marks, dirt from everyday use and adhesives used by athletes are effectively removed by Rubber Off. For washing and caring for sports floors, TopEfekt Diam is recommended, with its anti-slip, anti-glare and antistatic properties. These are especially important on surfaces used for training and team games.

  1. What to Use for Disinfecting Gym Equipment?

Disinfecting the gym is necessary to maintain hygienic conditions, as students come into direct contact with many surfaces during PE classes. In intensively used sports facilities, regular disinfection of balls, mats, wall bars, parallel bars, dumbbells and floors helps above all to prevent the spread of bacteria and fungi. Disinfectants used in gyms should be safe both for students’ health and for the surfaces being treated.

For disinfecting sports equipment and accessories, it’s worth using the Tenzi products Gran Qat and DS-1 GT. Gran Qat is an alcohol-based, highly effective and safe liquid for washing and disinfecting sports floors. DS-1 GT, on the other hand, is a ready-to-use antibacterial and antifungal liquid that works in just one minute.

Washing the gym’s mirrors and windows improves the look of the space and the lighting, which matters during workouts. Mirrors and glass surfaces are best cleaned with fast-drying Top Glass, which leaves no streaks.

  1. Tidying and Disinfecting School Locker Rooms

Keeping locker rooms and the areas around sports equipment in order helps classes run more smoothly and makes it quick to find the gear you need.

After every workout, it’s worth disinfecting the locker rooms where students leave their belongings. This helps prevent microorganisms from being transferred from clothing.

  1. Cleaning School Furniture – Tenzi Products Are First-Rate

There’s always work to be done in classrooms. First, clean the desks and chairs, which students have often scribbled on. To wash desks, use suitable cleaning products that remove dirt effectively without damaging furniture surfaces.

Cleaning removes fingerprints, stains and food residue. This is especially important in rooms where children spend a lot of time. Tenzi Top Klin effectively removes everyday dirt, including marks from ballpoint pens, copier ink, pencils and felt-tip markers, as well as some paint marks. Hard-to-remove dirt such as tape residue, permanent marker and chewing gum stuck to carpets is removed by Punkt MultiCleaner.

To clean dry-erase boards, it’s best to use dedicated cleaning products or whiteboard cleaning fluids that remove tough stains without leaving streaks. It’s important to use soft cloths or sponges that won’t scratch or damage the board surface. Regular care keeps boards ready for use and lets students and teachers use them comfortably. For cleaning classroom whiteboards, the Top Klin mentioned above is especially recommended.

  1. What to Use for Cleaning School Furniture and LCD Screens?

For general cleaning of school furniture, Office Clean is a great choice. This cleaning and care product leaves no streaks and has a pleasant floral scent.

For cleaning LCD screens, the dedicated Ekrany LCD cleaner works best, effectively removing fingerprints, grease stains, everyday dirt and dust. It leaves an antistatic layer on the surface that reduces re-soiling.

Keep in mind that the LCD screens used in modern classrooms need gentle cleaning with dedicated products. This prevents damage and ensures a clear picture during multimedia lessons.

  1. Tenzi Cleaning Cloths

When cleaning, it’s not just the cleaning products that matter, but also how they’re applied. Properly chosen cloths and sponges for applying products and for drying or polishing surfaces help achieve the best results.

For cleaning, we especially recommend 400 g/m² microfiber cloths and 250 g/m² microfiber cloths. They trap dust well, absorb water and dirt effectively and are ready to use again right after rinsing. The cloths are excellent for washing, drying and polishing. Their high-quality fibers are safe for the surfaces being cleaned and leave no scratches.
