A spray bottle of district-approved cleaner, kept full by the custodian.
A bottle of illegal white board cleaner, a bottle of store-bought spray cleaner, and a bottle of garden-variety dish soap. Plus the soap the custodian puts in the hand soap dispenser by the sink.
I use the white board cleaner every friday after school, giving it the weekend to air out. I use the dish soap to wash my tea cup and paint supplies after school. I don't use the commercial spray cleaner; it was there before the custodians supplied me, and I've just never taken it home.
My kids often ask me to use "air freshener." Middle school rooms can get a little stinky in the afternoons, lol. I don't, because air fresheners are illegal and not smart for people with allergies.`
I tried leaving open boxes of baking soda around the room in places I thought were "safe," but they weren't enough to absorb all the teen-age fug. ;)
I'd take my dish soap, commercial spray cleaner and white board cleaner home for the night, and put "see custodian" for the custodian-supplied spray cleaners and hand soap, since we don't have a label to read for those, and be done with it.
I've never had to do paperwork like that.
We DID get assigned two online "courses" to take the place of trainings our districts are legally required to do every year. One on sexual harassment in the work place, and one on recognizing and reporting abuse. Each took an hour, to be done "at our discretion," with a two-week window to get it complete.
Saved us having to do a half-day "training" in some big room, but they didn't exactly offer us our hourly rate to get it done during our own time. I don't know about you, but I don't have any free MINUTES, let alone hours, during my contractual day.
