It’s summertime and we’re all basking in the joy of the sun and the surf. But the school year is just around the corner. Have you ever really thought about the difficult job that you school janitor has once those bells start ringing? School janitors perform a variety of tasks in order to keep the school in orderly and working condition. There isn’t any formal training for these workers—they get their training on the job. If you’re in charge of a school, consider equipping your janitors with eco-friendly cleaning supplies such as mops, brushes, brooms, and cleaning solution. It’s not an easy job, but it doesn’t have to be tough on the environment.

School janitors keep the place clean by sweeping, mopping, scrubbing, and waxing the floors. They vacuum and shampoo the carpets, take out the trash, wash windows, walls, and ceilings. With the help of biodegradable cleaning supplies, janitors even take care of the bathrooms and wash fixtures. Janitorial duties extend to the outside, too. They mow lawns, remove snow, and maintain the grounds.

When you go back to school this fall, remember to thank everyone involved in making the environment pleasant. Your teachers are there to make sure you learn what you need to learn; but the janitor is there to make sure you can do so in a clean environment. Choose your eco-friendly janitorial supplies from Whole Earth Packaging.
