We all hate cleaning, well
most of us do anyway; but
for appearance and for sanitation
reasons it cannot be stressed
enough the need to keep your
training floor clean.
Be
it adults or children, walking
in other peoples sweat mixed
with natural bacteria is not
something you wish to have
happening around your school.
After
each training session the
floor should be cleaned. This
can be done by the students
in several fun ways.
One
way is to have the student’s
line up on one end of the
floor with a damp rag in their
hands; on your count they
‘push’ the rag
across the floor walking on
all fours. You can make this
a race by timing two teams
of cleaners.
Another
way is to choose a belt rank
to do it, this could be assigned
nightly. The ranks could be
on cleaning duty for the week
and then rotate.
Either
way you choose to do this;
this chore can be made enjoyable
if it’s approached like
a race or a game.
Be
sure to check that your chosen
floor cleaner is safe for
bare hands, and that it will
not damage the floor (even
if highly diluted).
