in focus Modern Restroom Care No matter where they are located — from executive offices to crowded sports stadiums — the public expects restrooms to be operational, clean and safe. When speaking with cleaning managers and contractors, one fact comes up repeatedly: Restrooms are the areas that require the most effort and upkeep in commercial facilities. In our recent benchmarking surveys, both facility managers and building service contractors (BSCs) reported that restrooms were the number one area that generated occupant/customer complaints. In healthcare facilities restroom condition can influence patient feedback. In schools and universities clean restrooms can be a serious health concern. In retail operations and restaurants, restrooms often provide that all-important and sometimes valuable first impression. Today, whether an operation chooses to utilize spray-and-vacuum offerings or traditional cleaning tools, a set system and an organized approach will drive results in restrooms of all shapes and sizes. There is little doubt that facility managers and BSCs alike must utilize the latest chemicals, tools and equipment in the daily pursuit of keeping public restrooms in near-perfect condition.
