As students and staff return from holiday breaks, schools face one of the most intense health windows of the year.
Missed school days due to flu, cold, and other contagious outbreaks profoundly affect crucial pillars of academic structure, like learning, attendance, staffing, and overall operations.
That’s why cleaning needs to be a proactive part of your facility plan, NOT a reaction once absences rise.
In our latest blog, we break down:

• Which focus areas make the most impact, like high-touch surfaces and shared spaces
• How data-driven cleaning strategies support attendance and safety
We also provided a link to our FREE "2026 Education-Sector Illness & Attendance Stats Report" to help school leaders plan with real data and information.
