Education

Helping make cleaner and safer spaces for staff and children

At AUK Hygiene, we understand that a clean environment is the foundation for a brilliant education. Schools, nurseries, colleges, and universities are dynamic environments where learning thrives—but they are also hotbeds for germs and the spread of illness. Our dedicated services and high-quality product ranges are specifically designed to help the education sector maintain exemplary levels of hygiene, ensuring a safe, healthy, and focused setting for both students and staff.

Why Exceptional School Hygiene is Critical for Success

Maintaining a rigorous cleaning schedule is more than just good housekeeping—it’s a vital investment in the future of our children and the productivity of our educators.

The Importance of Cleanliness for Children (Pupil Health & Attendance)

Children are highly susceptible to picking up and sharing germs. A poor hygiene environment can lead to:

Increased Illness: Common infections like colds, flu, and stomach bugs (norovirus) spread rapidly in close-contact environments like classrooms.
Reduced Attendance & Learning Loss: Higher illness rates mean more missed days, disrupting education and impacting academic performance.
Developing Lifelong Habits: Schools are where children learn essential personal hygiene practices, such as proper handwashing. A clean environment reinforces this learning.

The AUK Hygiene Difference: Why We Outperform the Rest

While other bulk cleaning suppliers offer cleaning products, AUK Hygiene provides a true partnership and superior overall value, making us the smart choice for forward-thinking schools across the UK.

Feature	AUK Hygiene Advantage	The ‘General Supplier’ Approach
Sustainability Focus	Leading the charge with initiatives like our Windmill Refill programme, allowing you to return and refill chemical containers, drastically reducing single-use plastic waste. We are EcoVardis certified.	Offers eco-friendly products but typically lacks the integrated, large-scale refill/recycling programmes that tackle packaging waste systemically.
Cost Management & Value	Innovative technology like our Easy Access QR Code Ordering System allows staff to quickly order pre-approved products, preventing over-ordering, reducing waste, and ensuring cost-effective stock control.	Standard online catalogue ordering, often leading to less control over departmental spending and accidental product duplication.
Compliance & Training	Free Online COSHH Training and Assessment Platform for all our customers, ensuring your cleaning staff are always safe, compliant, and correctly using chemicals.	May offer data sheets, but comprehensive, free, trackable e-learning training is often a premium service or less readily available.
Product Innovation	A focus on smart dispensing and concentrated chemical systems designed for busy, large-scale environments to ensure accurate dilution and maximum cleaning power for better results.	Standard chemical and equipment range from various brands.

Simply put: AUK Hygiene gives you innovative tools and sustainable solutions that save you time, money, and plastic, setting a higher standard than traditional suppliers.
