Managing cleaning and hygiene across education environments comes with a unique set of challenges. High footfall, tight budgets, and increasing sustainability expectations all place added pressure on facilities teams to maintain consistent standards while working as efficiently as possible.
From large university campuses to multi-site college groups and busy schools, ensuring every space is clean, safe, and well-stocked requires reliable systems and a practical approach to day-to-day operations.
At this year’s SAA Show, Summit Hygiene will be showcasing a range of solutions designed to help education facilities teams overcome these challenges and improve performance across their sites.
Improving Day-to-Day Cleaning Efficiency
In many education settings, inefficiencies can build up over time. This might be due to inconsistent cleaning methods across different buildings, outdated processes, or products that aren’t suited to high-demand environments.
These small inefficiencies can quickly add up, leading to wasted time, unnecessary product usage, and added pressure on cleaning teams.
Summit Hygiene works closely with facilities teams to simplify these operations. By reviewing existing processes and introducing more streamlined, consistent systems, it becomes easier to improve productivity, reduce waste, and maintain higher standards across all areas.
The goal is not to overcomplicate processes, but to make them easier to manage, replicate, and sustain over time.
Built for High-Traffic Washrooms
Washroom facilities in education environments are some of the most heavily used areas within any building. Constant use throughout the day means that dispensers and systems need to be durable, reliable, and capable of handling high demand without frequent maintenance.
On Stand B7, Summit Hygiene will be showcasing North Shore washroom dispensers, designed specifically for high-traffic environments such as schools, colleges, and universities.
With high-capacity designs, these systems help reduce the frequency of refills, allowing cleaning teams to focus their time more effectively. Their robust construction also helps minimise breakdowns and maintenance issues, ensuring a more consistent and reliable experience for end users.
By improving reliability and reducing servicing requirements, facilities teams can maintain cleaner, better-managed washrooms with less disruption throughout the day.
Reducing Reliance on Chemicals
Sustainability is an ongoing focus within the education sector, with many organisations actively looking for ways to reduce their environmental impact while maintaining high cleaning standards.
One of the biggest opportunities lies in reducing the reliance on traditional cleaning chemicals.
Summit Hygiene will be presenting Ozoklenz, a chemical-free cleaning solution that offers a practical alternative. Using aqueous ozone technology, Ozoklenz enables teams to clean, sanitise, and deodorise using a single solution, removing the need for multiple chemical products.
This not only supports more sustainable practices but also helps reduce the risks associated with chemical storage, handling, and usage. It can also simplify procurement and free up valuable storage space on site.
For education environments, this contributes to creating safer spaces for both students and staff, while supporting wider environmental goals.
A Practical, Tailored Approach
Every education setting operates differently, which is why a one-size-fits-all approach rarely delivers the best results.
Summit Hygiene takes a practical and tailored approach, working alongside facilities teams to understand their current setup, identify areas for improvement, and implement solutions that genuinely make a difference.
Whether the focus is on improving efficiency, enhancing sustainability, or upgrading washroom facilities, the aim is always the same — to reduce operational inefficiencies and make cleaning and hygiene management easier on a day-to-day basis.
This approach has already supported a number of education environments in achieving measurable improvements. Recent projects include a North Shore washroom dispenser fitout at Cranfield University and the introduction of Ozoklenz at Buckinghamshire College Group, helping both sites improve efficiency and sustainability outcomes.
