Pointers for Parents

Clean Classrooms 101

Helping kids develop healthy hygiene habits at home can go along way to reducing the spread of germs in school. Here are four simple steps you can take:

  1. Take 5 to Disinfect

    To kill 99.9% of the germs* on hard, nonporous surfaces that can cause colds and flu, use Clorox® Disinfecting Wipes to disinfect household surfaces kids touch most at home:

    • Phones
    • Doorknobs
    • Refrigerator handles
    • TV remotes
    • Toy storage bins
    • Computer keyboard and mouse
    • Light switches
    • Faucets

  2. Teach Kids the ABCs of Healthy Hygiene


    • Always wash hands before and after eating and after using the bathroom, with soap and warm water, for at least 20 seconds—the time it takes to sing "Happy Birthday" twice
    • Be aware of germs, and know where they can hide, especially on shared school supplies
    • Cough and sneeze into elbows or tissues, not hands

  3. Donate Clorox® Disinfecting Wipes

    Clorox® Disinfecting Wipes kill 99.9% of germs, including the viruses that can cause the common cold and flu,* but more than half of teachers have to buy their own. Do yours a favor, and donate wipes to help keep your child's classroom cleaner and healthier, especially at the start of the school year, and during cold and flu season.†
