Let’s face it – no one wants to do their business in a dirty toilet!
Maintaining clean and hygienic washrooms in commercial settings is not just about aesthetics; it’s about creating a positive and safe environment for your employees, customers, and visitors.
Clean washrooms can leave a lasting impression and enhance the overall image of your business. With that in mind, we’ve compiled our top tips for cleaning commercial washrooms effectively.
Safety first (always!)
While it can be tempting to go all out with the chemicals and elbow grease immediately upon setting foot in a dirty washroom, it’s crucial to always prioritise safety. After all, you’ll do your best cleaning when you feel the most comfortable!
While the safety measures needed will vary based on conditions, it’s a good idea to use PPE such as gloves and safety glasses to protect against exposure to chemicals and potential contaminants.
In addition, adequate ventilation is a must-have in order to disperse unpleasant odours and prevent the buildup of humidity, which can lead to mould and mildew. Open windows or turn on exhaust fans to ensure good airflow.
Pay attention to high-touch surfaces
High-touch surfaces are areas that are frequently touched by multiple individuals and are more likely to harbour germs and contaminants. These surfaces require regular and thorough cleaning and disinfection to prevent the spread of illnesses and maintain a hygienic environment and can include the following:
- Door handles
- Faucet handles
- Toilet flush handles/buttons
- Light switches
- Soap dispensers
- Toilet paper holders
- Hand towel holders
Consistency in cleaning and disinfecting these surfaces is essential for maintaining a safe and hygienic washroom environment; this is particularly important during periods of increased use or during cold and flu seasons.
Don’t forget the floors
It can be easy to get carried away with disinfecting and cleaning all those high-touch services that you may forget about the washroom flooring – big mistake.
Even the best quality hard floors can harbour a whole host of nasty germs that you definitely wouldn’t want to come into contact with!
Deep cleaning your hard floors is a must if you want a clean and sparkling washroom (and who doesn’t?!).
