Washroom Hygiene 101: Key Benefits of Keeping it Clean & Germ-Free

Written by Team Inboda | Oct 27, 2019 8:30:13 AM

Imagine this: you’re visiting an office building for a business meeting for the first time
when, suddenly, nature calls. You know what they say, right? You have to answer. It’s still a few
minutes until the meeting starts, so you ask for directions to the washroom. It’s easy to find, but
when you get there, you get the shock of your life. There’s grime on the tiles, a sour smell, and
no sanitizer in sight. What do you do?

This is a dilemma that many of us have faced before. Now, as a business owner, ask yourself if
that’s the experience you want for your employees and customers. We’re willing to bet that it’s a
hard no! If you need a bit more convincing or a nudge in the right direction to fix your washroom
up, here are some of the main benefits of keeping it hygienic.

Washing Your Hands Stops The Spread Of Germs & Disease

You’ve heard it a million times since childhood. We all have. But you probably have a few
colleagues who spend 2 minutes too few in the bathroom. Provide hand wash and sanitizer for
your employees to use. Keep drying towels handy or an air-drying machine, so that germs don’t
find a spot on everybody’s damp hands. This will leave you with healthy employees and
customers.

Clean Surfaces Are Safer & Healthier For All Who Use The Facilities

Use appropriate detergents and other chemicals to keep the washroom clean. A commercial
cleaning company should do the trick. They’ll always bring everyone, and everything needed to
keep your toilet hygienic.

Sanitary Bins Provide Comfortable Disposal For Staff & Guests

Feminine hygiene can be a sensitive topic, especially in shared facilities. Be considerate to the
women who use your facilities by providing sanitary bins. These also help your business comply
with safe disposal requirements, so everybody wins.

Visitors Trust You More If You Have A Visibly Hygienic Washroom

Making the right first impression is crucial, and a properly cleaned and maintained washroom
can ensure that. Consistent cleaning makes for a hygienic space for clients to use while on your
premises.

Installing Air Care Reduces Bacteria & Obnoxious Odours

The last thing you need is a putrid smell driving people away from a washroom. Air care and
other odour neutralizing solutions make the space more than bearable.
