How do I clean school toilets and bathrooms in Nairobi?

School toilet facilities in Nairobi serve hundreds of children daily and require more frequent cleaning and more rigorous disinfection than standard residential bathrooms.

Recommended Cleaning Frequency for School Toilets

• During school hours: every 2 hours minimum for primary schools; hourly during lunch periods
• Between sessions: full clean between morning and afternoon school sessions
• End of day: comprehensive clean and disinfection
• Weekly: deep clean including descaling, grout scrubbing, and anti-mould treatment
• Term break: full restoration clean

Child-Safe Cleaning Protocol

• Use cleaning products certified safe for use around children
• Ensure adequate ventilation before children return — allow 15–20 minutes post-cleaning
• Use diluted solutions appropriate for the product — stronger is not always better and can leave harmful residue
• Colour-code cloths and mops for toilet areas versus other areas

High-Priority Areas

• Toilet flush handles — highest bacteria concentration; disinfect at every clean
• Sanitary bin areas
• Door handles and light switches
• Sink tap handles
