Here we present results of a cross-over intervention in Finnish primary schools in which we studied the impacts of ‘water only’ versus ‘normal cleaning’ on the airborne and surface microbiota in classrooms. Quantitative PCR as well as amplicon sequencing were used to describe the levels and composition of bacterial and fungal microbiota in airborne settled dust and swab samples collected from table and flooring surfaces., complemented by measurements of ATP from the surface samples. Our initial analyses revealed no significant differences in microbial levels in airborne dust, but lower ATP levels on desk and flooring surfaces during ‘water only’ cleaning periods compared to ‘normal cleaning’ with cleaning chemicals.
