How You Can Reduce Absenteeism in Your School by 14%

Did you know that a cleaner school environment can reduce student absenteeism by up to 14%? That’s right—healthier cleaning practices are not only about appearances; they play a vital role in promoting student well-being and keeping classrooms filled. At Jani-King, we specialize in providing professional cleaning services that help schools create healthier spaces, improve attendance, and support academic success.

The Impact of Professional Cleaning on Student Health

Schools are high-traffic environments where germs can spread quickly. From shared desks to cafeteria tables and gym equipment, the potential for illness is everywhere. The result? Increased absenteeism due to preventable illnesses like colds, flu, and other contagious diseases.

Research has shown that improved cleaning protocols can help reduce student absenteeism by up to 14% (CloroxPro, n.d.). By implementing targeted cleaning protocols, schools can significantly reduce the presence of germs, allergens, and bacteria that contribute to student illness. For example:

• High-Touch Surface Disinfection: Frequently touched surfaces, like door handles, desks, and keyboards, are hotspots for germs. Our cleaning teams focus on these areas using EPA-approved disinfectants to minimize the spread of viruses.
• Deep Cleaning Services: Beyond daily cleaning, Jani-King offers comprehensive deep cleaning services to eliminate germs in hard-to-reach areas and maintain a higher standard of cleanliness throughout the school.
• Restroom Sanitation: Clean restrooms are essential to reducing the spread of germs. Our teams ensure deep cleaning and disinfection of restrooms, paying attention to sinks, toilet handles, and other germ-prone areas.

The Benefits of Healthier Schools

Reducing absenteeism isn’t just about keeping students in their seats—it’s about fostering a healthier, more productive learning environment. When students are healthy, they’re more likely to focus, participate, and thrive academically. Additionally, fewer sick days mean less strain on parents and teachers, creating a more supportive educational ecosystem.
