Keeping a clean restroom at work is no easy challenge

Keeping a clean restroom at work can be one of the most difficult yet significant in cleaning work. The level of restroom hygiene directly impacts the overall impression of any facility.

For example, what do you think of if you visit any facility and find their restroom dirty? What other sanitizing nightmares are lurking in their non-customer areas? Well, an organization that sets customer service as a top priority including their customer-friendly restrooms accepts nothing less than perfection. It was once said that, a dirty restroom is the quickest way to flush your image right down the toilet.

Keeping a clean restroom of any size, needs the proper tools and a method to perform the services. Each task and product plays an important role in the final outcome.

Here are some tips to keep a clean restroom at work.

• Train the cleaning team on how to clean efficiently and effectively. Have management sign off on the work for quality assurance. Also, as part of training, educate employees on their responsibility to keep a clean restroom. Furthermore, inform employees of your expectations regarding bathroom cleanliness at staff meetings. This can be done through the company newsletter or via email as needed.
• Keep cleaning supplies in an accessible location. This includes gloves, toilet paper and cleaning solutions. A staff member may make a mess or have a personal hygiene issue in the bathroom. Consider using signage in the bathroom to remind employees to keep the space clean.
• Keep floor drains and your restroom odor-free by rinsing drains. Always make sure that ceiling vents and fans are immaculate and working well.

• Install automated toilets, soap dispensers and air dryers because they reduce the materials that employees use in the bathroom and work independently of the user.
• Use approved and appropriate chemicals to clean and disinfect the restroom floors and sink basins.
• Schedule and perform a periodic deep clean of the restrooms.
