Absenteeism
Leverage the best defense to address absenteeism.
Your school is a place for learning and growth – not absent students and teachers. Being proactive about fighting germs and grime is a key consideration in the defense against absenteeism. Facilities that promote washing, wiping and cleaning can help reduce the contamination levels in school high-touch areas. That's why we offer a wide range of ready-to-ship cleaning products and tools available at contract prices.
We're here to help.
Office Depot® is available to review your school and provide a recommendation about what products are best suited for the specific needs of your institution.
We can evaluate your building, discuss your specific needs and help customize a cleaning solution system for your school.
