(NAPSI)-Schools with gyms are finding it good practice to improve the way they keep sports equipment clean. Even equipment and surfaces that look clean may be harboring a dirty little secret: germs. To make the grade in the fight against germs, schools should conduct regular and thorough cleaning and disinfection of all frequently touched surfaces. This includes shared sports equipment in gyms and schools. Ideally, they should be using wiping materials specifically designed to be compatible with disinfecting chemicals like bleach. A closed-bucket system--such as the WetTask System, in which pre-saturated wipes are dispensed through a port on the top--avoids issues associated with dipping dirty rags back into buckets of cleaning solution. It also keeps cleaning solutions more stable over time. For more information on community-acquired infections, download a free fact sheet at www.kimtech.com/facts.
