In school classrooms, headphones and headsets undergo heavy use. Whether students are listening to music for their breaks or taking an online course, it’s important to keep them clean and sanitized. It's a
problem for universities also.
Luckily, there are several methods to keep your classroom headphones clean and germ-free. This article will cover various ways to keep your school headphones sanitary, including sanitizing wipes and UV-C sanitizers.
Disinfecting Wipes
Keeping classroom headphones clean is critical to student well-being. Kids touch surfaces and share supplies often, especially when it comes to tech equipment like Chromebooks and headphones. Thankfully, teachers can rely on a number of effective cleaning and sanitizing tools to help prevent the spread of Covid-19, flu and other germs. Even
offices have challenges to being clean.
Disinfecting wipes are a great choice for quickly sanitizing on-ear and over-ear headphones. These school cleaning supplies contain an active ingredient that kills bacteria, viruses and fungus in just 15 seconds, ensuring the safety of students' ears and necks. Be sure to check the label for proper contact times and discard used disinfecting wipes as directed.
If you prefer a more liquid-free way to sanitize your headphones, try UV lights. Simply place a pair of earbuds, headphones or a headset inside the UV light, and two bulbs zap away germs for a quick and easy clean. This tool also helps to sanitize the rubber tips, plastic casing and mesh speaker grill.
Disposable Headphone Covers
Colleges and universities have
headphones/headsets for school classrooms that get used by multiple students each week. When this happens, the earpieces can quickly become breeding grounds for germs. Thankfully, there are simple solutions to prevent this from happening.
One of the best and easiest is to use disposable headphone covers. These sanitary cloth covers slip over the headphone earpieces and help keep them free from bacteria, germs and oil buildup. They also allow for a more comfortable fit for those with sensitive skin.
These disposable covers can also be used for other audio equipment like microphones and speakers. In fact, they are routinely used in many business environments by translation services, drive through restaurants and medical imaging centers. They can be purchased in bulk for wholesale and business pricing, and are also compatible with a wide variety of headphones and headsets. These sanitary covers are also hypoallergenic, making them safe for individuals who have skin sensitivities.
UV Sterilizer
The UV Sterilizer is a disinfection tool that uses the power of sunlight to destroy germs and bacteria. Its rays pierce the DNA of disease-causing pathogens and destroy it, eliminating the ability to function or reproduce. This is especially useful for germs that have developed resistance to antibiotics, such as “superbugs.”
These sanitizing wands are easy to store and distribute in school classrooms thanks to their handy wall-mounted dispensers. They are also free of benzyl-alcohol, citrus and bleach to ensure they’re safe for use by students.
Disinfecting headphones is one of the most important steps teachers can take to help keep students healthy and safe. These methods, when combined, can keep shared audio equipment clean and sanitized with ease in any classroom. Our popular Tech Tub2 trolleys offer a complete solution for storing, charging and sanitizing devices, including headsets. The green tub holds and charges a small set of iPads or 11" Chromebooks while the blue tub sanitizes them and other accessories.
Hamilton Buhl Headphone Cleaning Spray
The Hamilton Buhl Headphone Cleaning Spray is a quick and effective solution to disinfect your school headphones. It is a non-toxic, non-flammable cleaner with no alcohol or ammonia. It is also safe for students, teachers and their classrooms, office staff, home use and the environment.
Educational headsets and headphones help kids work quietly, improve their productivity and focus, which can lead to better test scores on important tests like the SAT or ACT. These devices can also provide a more enjoyable learning experience by letting them listen to music, play games or watch videos while working.
High-quality education headphones have microphones that reduce background noises, such as a rooster crowing or the neighbor’s out-of-tune karaoke. This helps them hear the teacher’s lecture and distinguish word pronunciations, which is especially useful for children taking online lessons. Hamilton Buhl’s sanitizers leave your headphones, headsets and earbuds clean, properly conditioned, scratch-free, streak-free, and safe to handle in seconds!
