As cute as children are, they come into contact with a large variety of germs. To minimize the spread of these germs surface sanitizers should be used often to keep the children, (as well as teachers and parents) healthy. There are several steps to sanitizing a surface. And a surprising amount of surfaces need cleaning constantly. Soap, water and bleach are the simple sanitizers that are easy to find and use. When cleaning a table after eating it is very important to use soap before bleach as food will deactivate a chemical in bleach that makes it such an effective sanitizer. The same goes for making sure all of the soap is off of the table as this will have the same effect on the bleach. The best way to clean a table is to spray soapy water on it. Wipe it thoroughly and then to spray plain water on it to ensure all of the food and soap are off. After those two steps are complete you may spray the bleach solution. There are different opinions on whether or not the bleach should air dry, be wiped down or sit for two to five minutes and then be wiped down. Depending on the age group you may have more or less to sanitize. In a diaper wearing age the changing table must be sanitized with a higher bleach solution after every child has lain on the table. For younger children it is suggested that any toys that are played with be sainted after use as they are more likely to have been in the mouths of said children. Some toys may be put in dishwasher on a sanitizing option.
