Cleaning Connect: Summer Edition
Welcome to the second edition of Cleaning Connect, a quarterly newsletter providing insights across the cleaning industry.
In this edition of Cleaning Connect, we'd like to share some useful updates on all things cleaning, including how to keep your floors clean, washrooms stocked, and outdoor areas private and corridors safe!
So, put down your mop, grab yourself a cup of tea, and let's get started...
Theme 1: Waste Management & Disposal
Waste Facts
It's a less-than-glamorous topic, but an essential one nonetheless. Schools and educational institutions have a significant impact on the waste landscape, especially when considering the volume of students and staff they accommodate. Each primary school pupil generates around 45kg of waste, and each secondary school student contributes about 22kg.
This adds up to an eye-watering total of 250,000 tonnes of waste annually!
Waste Disposal & Outdoor Bins
A part of addressing this issue involves making waste disposal more accessible and user-friendly for students. CS4UK is delighted to introduce a range of durable external bins specifically designed for educational institutions.
These bins not only withstand the elements and resist vandalism but also come in a wide variety of styles and colours, making them an attractive addition to any outdoor space. Their child-friendly design encourages students to take responsibility for their litter, and the range includes options for recycling as well as general waste.
You can find our full range of outdoor bins here: https://www.cs4uk.com/Catalogue/Waste/External-Bins
Reducing School Waste: The 250,000 Tonnes Challenge
Every school can do its part in addressing the waste management challenge. Encouraging waste-free lunches, implementing recycling programmes, reducing paper use by going digital, and organising waste reduction campaigns can significantly help reduce the waste produced by schools.
Partnering with eco-friendly suppliers like CS4UK is another proactive step towards minimising environmental impact and promoting sustainable practices.
Theme 2: Looking after your washroom
As well as waste management, CS4UK have been avidly focused on improving washrooms across London. Washrooms are a key component of every school and here's what we've got to share in this edition of cleaning connect+.
Washroom Facts
Washrooms are an often-overlooked but crucial aspect of school environments. Good washroom hygiene significantly impacts the overall health and well-being of students and staff.
Ofsted Inspections & Washroom Standards
Ofsted inspections are essential for schools, and the cleanliness and sustainability of washrooms are a critical part of these inspections. CS4UK can be your partner in achieving outstanding washroom standards by fitting and installing modern dispensers and creating an environment that meets all regulations.
We continue to make this easier and more accessible than ever with our Free Washroom Dispensers...
CS4UK is excited to offer a summer special - free washroom dispensers fit-out. Our end-to-end solution includes sleek soap, high-quality tissue, and durable paper towel dispensers, all designed for better hygiene and economical usage. Terms and conditions apply.

Theme 3: Maintaining the Privacy of Your Outdoor Areas
An area often overlooked in schools is the true privacy of its students and teachers. This quarter, we introduced FORTRESS Privacy Screening, a screening solution designed to protect school play areas that are adjacent to public spaces, providing improved privacy and safety. The screens are easy to install, robust, and durable, making them the perfect solution to increase the safety of your outdoor spaces.
Outdoor spaces in schools are fundamental for students' physical development and well-being. However, these spaces are often adjacent to public areas, raising concerns about privacy and safety. Our FORTRESS Screens offer a practical and robust solution to this issue, enabling schools to protect their outdoor spaces without sacrificing aesthetics.
