DUST!

by 3rd year

Dec 18, 2014

How do you handle dust? I have a pretty huge room, with lots of tables, cabinets, and stuff everywhere. I don't think maintenance dusts at all. There's dust everywhere!

Right now I don't wipe down anything. Do I need to be my own room's janitor and wipe and dust every day?

My room is twice the size of a teacher's classroom...that's a lot of time and work...but right now I have thick dust all over the smartboard and on counters and cabinets I don't use.

mdmusic Oops! Hit enter too soon.

Anyways, have a class of older kids, wipe down the room
with disinfecting wipes. It will literally take them 10
minutes and they will love it. Treat it like you are
letting them because they have earned it. Trust me, their
classroom teachers are using the kids to keep things
cleaned too.

Martha You probably need to just handle it yourself.

For your instruments, keep a dust cloth around. Cover as many as you can with towels, sheets, or whatever. If you have garage/yard sales or thrift stores in the area, those are a good source for cheap old towels and sheets.

If you have a mom that loves...See More
