Back-to-School Cleaning Guide for School Janitorial Staff
August 7, 2026
As students prepare to head back to the classroom, school janitorial teams are hard at work preparing classrooms, hallways, locker rooms, gyms, offices, and common areas for another busy school year. A clean, well-maintained campus creates a welcoming environment while helping protect school property throughout the year.
One of the biggest challenges for custodial staff is dealing with a wide variety of messes using limited time and resources. From stubborn sticker residue on lockers to graffiti, gum, paint, and grease in high-traffic areas, having a versatile industrial cleaner can simplify the job.
Remove Sticker Residue and Adhesives
Classroom decorations, labels, tape, posters, and decals often leave behind stubborn adhesive residue on desks, lockers, doors, windows, classroom furniture, and bulletin boards.
Instead of scraping surfaces or switching between multiple cleaners, using an industrial adhesive remover helps break down residue quickly and efficiently, helping custodial teams save valuable time during back-to-school preparations.
Eliminate Graffiti, Paint, and Ink
Schools occasionally deal with graffiti, paint, permanent marker, and paint pen markings on lockers, brick walls, concrete, bathroom partitions, signs, maintenance equipment, and other high-visibility surfaces.
The longer these marks remain, the more difficult they can become to remove. Addressing them early helps maintain a professional appearance, preserve school property, and discourage repeat vandalism.
Keep Locker Rooms and Common Areas Looking Their Best
Locker rooms, gyms, hallways, and maintenance areas are some of the busiest spaces on campus. Gum, grease, tape residue, and everyday grime can quickly build up on lockers, benches, doors, equipment, and other frequently used surfaces.
Routine cleaning helps maintain a cleaner, more professional appearance while preventing buildup that becomes more difficult to remove over time.
Simplify Everyday Facility Maintenance
Managing an entire school campus—from classrooms and locker rooms to gyms, maintenance shops, and administrative offices—means tackling a wide variety of cleaning challenges every day.
