Introduction
- If you're like many other students, you probably hate cleaning your room and the thought of cleaning your locker likely isn't any more attractive. However, by using your locker as a trash receptacle instead of a storage unit, you're missing out on some valuable storage space and are probably lugging all your books around with you or wasting time searching for them. Like cleaning your room, cleaning your locker is a chore, but if you bite the bullet and spend a few minutes doing so, you'll likely be glad you did.
Step 1: Make a Plan
- Depending on how dirty your locker is, you're going to need anywhere from ten to thirty minutes to clean it properly. Plan to come into school early or stay late, or use up a free period or some of your lunch break to do some cleaning.
- You will also need some cleaning supplies to give your locker a good cleaning. Either bring some spray cleaner and a cloth or paper towels from home, or ask your school janitor if you can borrow some.
Step 2: Take it All Out
- To make sure that you get your locker completely clean, take absolutely everything out of it. Sort through the items you have removed and arrange them into three separate piles:
- Trash and other things you don't need and can be thrown out
- Books, school supplies and other items that you need for school
- Extra clothes, old papers and anything else that you want to hold onto, but don't need to keep in your locker. Place these items in your backpack and take them home
Step 3: Get Cleaning
- Once your locker is completely empty, it's time to give it a thorough wipe-down. Using a damp cloth or some paper towels and some spray cleaner, wipe all the surfaces in your locker, beginning at the top and working downward. Be sure to clean the corners and the back of the door. If you have spilled any liquids or allowed food to rot in the locker, you may need to do some extra scrubbing or use a disinfecting cleaner.
Step 4: Keep it Up
- Now that your locker is clean, do your best to help it stay that way. Keep your locker organized and tidy so that you don't have to clean it as often and can easily find what you need when you need it. Avoid keeping any food or drinks in your locker for more than a day or two to avoid mold and bad smells.
