Tidy vs Clean lab

We had cleanliness drive in our school.I with help of my students and

helper got my chemistry lab cleaned snd made it tidy also.

After  a week I asked my students to write down difference between Tidy

lab and clean lab. Students came with many answers the best one I am

listing below.

Tidy lab means everything has a place, and everything like apparatus buret

-pippets are in their respective places. Like reagent bottles used for

testing cations and anions of inorganic salt must go to side shelves of

lab. While acid and bases bottles will be in front shelf of lab.

Countertops are empty, tables only have what belongs on it, towels are to

be hanged on each working table.

On the other hand lab can be perfectly tidy but dirty. Towels need in the

laundry, countertops are dirty, lab table is sticky with reagent trips.

One need soap and water and mop and vacuum. One should tidy the lab before

the cleaning people come so they can clean, mop, vacuum, shampoo carpet,

and scrub the shower.
