Don’t Let Students “Stink Up” the Locker Room with Tips from Cintas

School janitors work hard over the summer to ensure schools are
clean and in top shape when students and staff return to school.
Unfortunately, it doesn’t take long for students to stink up school
gyms and locker rooms once they return. To help schools keep the
“locker room smell” at bay throughout the school year, Cintas
Corporation (NASDAQ: CTAS) offers tips to combat the spread of
odor-causing bacteria.
“Locker room cleaning not only helps eliminate unpleasant odors,
but it also helps to reduce the spread of bacteria and fungusi
caused illnesses such as athlete’s foot and ringworm,” said John
Engel, Director of Marketing, Cintas. “Effective cleaning, routine
deep cleaning and adopting correct cleaning procedures can go a
long way in maintaining a healthy locker room.”
To reduce the likelihood for odor-causing bacteria to flourish
in school gyms and locker rooms, Cintas recommends focusing on the
following areas of a locker room:
- Floors. Floors can become a
breeding ground for bacteria, fungus and unpleasant odor due to the
damp-nature of most locker room floors. Perform regular floor deep
cleans as well as routine daily cleaning using an effective
cleaning solution, dilution, dwell time and high-pressure steam to
sanitize and remove the buildup and accumulation of dirt and
grime.
- Lockers. The mixture of
humidity, soiled clothing and shoes left in lockers can quickly
cause unpleasant odors. Have students remove soiled clothes and
towels weekly, and conduct locker deep cleans with a microfiber
cloth and a disinfecting cleaning solution to eliminate
odor-causing bacteria growth.
- Gym equipment. To limit the
spread of odor-causing bacteria, encourage students to wipe down
equipment using an effective cleaning solution after each use.
- Restrooms. Offensive restroom
odors are not only caused by frequent use, but also by bacteria
buildup in clogged drains. Consider using air fresheners, urinal
screens and restroom mats to stop these odors.
