Avmor infographic promotes healthy schools, sustainable cleaning programs

by Brianna Crandall — April 18, 2014—In honor of the recent National Healthy Schools Day, Canada-based professional cleaning solutions supplier Avmor published an educational infographic about implementing a sustainable cleaning program in schools.

The infographic gives reasons to offer a safer and healthier school environment, with statistics demonstrating how sustainable and thorough cleaning decreases absenteeism and improves the health of students, faculty, and staff.

It mentions such benefits as healthier indoor air quality (IAQ) and environment, reducing absenteeism from asthma and sickness, reducing custodial staff injuries, increasing facility lifespan, and contributing to Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) green building certification.
