Reduce Absence
In Classroom Through Best Practice Cleaning
A clean school environment is crucial for student health and success. Improved hygiene can reduce absences by up to 50%, boosting academic performance. Regular cleaning of classrooms and facilities is essential for a healthier, more effective learning environment.

Maintaining High Levels of Cleanliness in Schools is Essential in Keeping Disease and Illness Away from the Classroom and Students
​
Maintaining high levels of cleanliness in schools is essential in keeping disease and illness away from the classroom and keeping pupils in them.
​
Coughs, colds, diarrhoea, sickness, skin infections: just some of the most common reasons why children are absent from the school. Some infections can spread quickly throughout a classroom and then the school, often resulting in school closures and expensive deep-cleaning. In fact, in the school year of 2014-15, 60.1 per cent of all absences from the classroom were due to sickness.
​
School absenteeism can have many negative effects. Missing school can cause a child to fall behind on their learning, and as a consequence, do less well in exams – this of course also impacts the school and how it is rated. Research also suggests that children who frequently miss school could also be at risk of getting involved in antisocial behaviour, crime or similar. It can also have a massively negative effect on the economy of the country – parents having to take time off work to look after sick children can impact businesses, and the increased use of supply teachers to replace absent staff not only costs our schools dearly – but our children too: teacher absences also affect children’s learning.

Preventing Absenteeism
So, how we can we reduce the numbers of children, and of course teachers absent from the school classroom?
​
The idea is simple: create a more hygienic learning environment.
​
How? Through our Sustainability Program - (Steam Cleaning an d Eco-Friendly products) we thoroughly sanitize, disinfect, deodorize and clean all surfaces with emphasis on highly touch surfaces, guarding against the negative effects of bacteria and other microbes such as mould. It works by incorporating our steam clean program with environmentally friendly cleaning products. All products used by Profile are tested to ensure maximum antimicrobial performance.
