When it comes to commercial facilities, maintaining a clean and well-kept washroom is crucial. A well-maintained washroom not only contributes to a positive image but also ensures the comfort and hygiene of employees, customers, and visitors.
In this guide, we’ll explore the essential steps and best practices for keeping a winning washroom in your commercial facility.
Regular Cleaning and Maintenance
One of the most critical aspects of maintaining a winning washroom is regular cleaning and maintenance. This involves:
- Daily Cleaning: Ensure that the washroom is cleaned and restocked daily. Pay close attention to high-touch areas such as faucets, doorknobs, and toilet handles.
- Weekly Deep Cleaning: A weekly deep clean helps remove any accumulated dirt, grime, or stains. This includes scrubbing the floors, disinfecting surfaces, and cleaning and sanitising fixtures.
- Check for Repairs: Regularly inspect the washroom for any repairs that may be needed. Fix leaky faucets, broken stall doors, or malfunctioning hand dryers promptly.
Choose Sustainable Products
Opting for sustainable products in your commercial washroom offers numerous advantages. It showcases your commitment to environmental responsibility, reduces operating costs over time, and bolsters your brand image.
Moreover, sustainable choices help you comply with regulations, promote energy efficiency, improve indoor air quality, and minimize waste generation.
Here are our recommendations for sustainable washroom supplies:
- Fenton Eco Triple Quilted Toilet Roll – Make sure that toilet paper dispensers are regularly refilled.
- High-Capacity Dispensers – Consider installing high-capacity dispensers to reduce the frequency of refilling.
- Fenton ECO French Lime & Basil Hand Wash – Provide liquid hand soap and ensure that soap dispensers are regularly refilled.
- Fenton® ECO Z-fold Hand Towel – An eco-friendly 2 ply white z-fold hand towel, ideal for cost effective hand drying.
- V-Air Evolution Refill Citrus Mango – Containing no batteries, liquids or harmful propellants, the dispenser and lightweight recyclable refill works with natural airflow, allowing for superior scent delivery.
Accessibility and Inclusivity
Commercial facilities should ensure their washrooms are accessible to all users, including those with disabilities. Compliance with local regulations and the Equality Act 2010 is essential. This includes providing:
- Accessible Stalls: Install at least one accessible restroom stall for individuals with disabilities, equipped with grab bars, adequate space, and proper signage.
- Baby Changing Stations: Install baby changing stations in both men’s and women’s restrooms to accommodate parents.
Hygiene Stations
Promote hand hygiene by providing hand sanitising stations in addition to soap and water. These stations can be strategically placed near entrances or high-traffic areas to encourage regular hand sanitising.
Regular Inspections
Conduct regular inspections to ensure the washroom remains in excellent condition. Inspectors should check for cleanliness, damage, and functionality of fixtures. This proactive approach helps identify and address issues before they become major problems.
