Almost all companies nowadays have their own daycare for employees with no one to entrust their babies to. It’s a difficult situation for most single parent employees – and usually the reason why they take a day off just to make sure someone is there with their kids. This has become a trend to make sure they cut off the possible absences of the employees and keep the company in its optimum performance.

While a daycare is definitely a solution, it may sometime become a worry for most parents. Some kids come home with a rash, fever, or even the common cold, by simply staying in the company daycare. If you fail to keep the company’s daycare clean, it will still be a reason for employees to rather take the day off than risk having their kids sick.

The common people in daycare rooms

Most of these are toddlers rather than kids – since kids have school and they can be trusted to be left with their friends rather than toddlers. Toddlers are curious little things and they like touching and even biting things to know what it is.

They try to understand more by shoving it in their mount and ‘tasting’ it. Bacteria is rampant in these kinds of rooms wherein toddlers share items and they are very curious. To keep these babies from getting sick, you should always clean the room. Ideally, you should dedicate a time to deep clean the room by hiring professional cleaners, but cleaning should always be done daily.

Basic cleaning guidelines for happy employees and children

While it’s not financially feasible to always hire professional cleaners to make sure the room is safe and clean, there are a few precautions you can instruct your staff to do. There are three words you need to remember to make the kid’s stay good and fun in your daycare room. Here are the products you need to get for the daycare room:

• Cleaners. These are the kinds of products that effectively remove layers of dirt and dust that accumulated on furniture and toys. It will also remove the dried up stains that will possibly make the kids sick during their stay in the room. Typical cleaner agents are soaps, detergent, and green cleaners. A tip for protein-based stain on items would be cold water and dishwashing soap – they are made to remove oils and such on surfaces.
• Sanitisers. While it doesn’t fully destroy or eradicate bacteria on surfaces, it’s actually important to sanitise the surfaces and items. This kind of product lessens the levels of bacteria on surfaces to make it safe for kids to play on. Aside from clearing it up for kids, it actually makes the surfaces smell better and cleaner as well.
• Disinfectants.  This product is more powerful than the other two – this actually destroy numerous types of disease-carrying organisms on surfaces. It can be used on the most touched items and it lessens the probability of kids getting sick.

Ideally, the items in the room should be handled by these three and make sure that it’s clean and safe to use. A combination of all three based on the levels of most used items can make the playroom safe and sound for kids. Aside from these, make sure that your daycare is also baby proofed to make sure there are no accidents during their stay. But making a habit of cleaning before and after hours will surely keep the room safe!
