If you are a school bursar in Kenya, you are probably spending more on disinfectants than you should. Not because you are buying expensive brands. Because you are buying in small quantities from the wrong supplier.
The problem with how most Kenyan schools buy disinfectants
Most school bursars in Kenya buy whichever disinfectant is available from the nearest supplier, often in small 1L or 5L bottles. This is the most expensive way to clean a school. A 1L bottle that costs KES 350 works out to KES 350 per litre. A 20L Bio-rol Disinfectant from Biozone costs KES 4,150, which works out to KES 207 per litre. Same product strength. Half the price per litre when you buy in bulk.
What you actually need to disinfect in a school
- Toilet blocks: floors, toilet seats, flush handles, taps and door handles
- Classroom floors and desk surfaces, especially in lower primary where children eat at their desks
- Kitchen surfaces and the dining hall floor
- The staffroom bathroom and any shared bathrooms for boarding students
- The sick bay, if your school has one

The right way to dilute disinfectant in a school
Many school cleaners use disinfectant at full strength on everything. This wastes product and is harder on floors. Bio-rol should be diluted 1:10 for daily floor mopping and surface wiping. Use it at full strength only on toilet bowls and drains. One 20L container at 1:10 dilution gives you 220 litres of ready-to-use disinfectant.
Budget tip: At 1:10 dilution, one 20L Bio-rol at KES 4,150 costs about KES 19 per litre of disinfectant solution. If you are spending more than this per litre, you are paying too much.
Building a 3-month cleaning supply for your school
A school with 400 students cleaning 5 days a week typically needs: 2 units of Bio-rol Disinfectant 20L per month, 1 unit of Multi-Purpose Detergent 20L per month, and 1 unit of Biopit Digester Kit per month for the toilet blocks. That is a total monthly spend of around KES 11,800. Buying 3 months at once qualifies you for our wholesale pricing.
