Facility Restroom Hygiene — Best Practices for High-Traffic Locations

Restrooms create one of the strongest impressions of your facility. Poorly maintained restrooms can lead to complaints, odors, and hygiene risks.

Here’s how to maintain high standards even in busy environments.

1. Choose the Right Dispensers

Touchless systems improve:

Hygiene
Efficiency
Cost control
User experience

Recommended systems:

Touchless towel dispensers
Touchless soap dispensers
Controlled-use toilet tissue systems

2. Daily Restroom Cleaning Routine

A standard routine should include:

Emptying waste bins
Cleaning and disinfecting toilets and urinals
Wiping counters and sinks
Polishing mirrors
Refilling dispensers
Disinfecting high-touch points
Mopping floors with neutral cleaner
Checking odor control devices

3. Weekly/Monthly Deep Cleaning

Scale removal in urinals and toilets
Deep scrubbing of floors
Wall washing
Grout maintenance
Drain treatment

4. Odor Control Solutions

Use:

Urinal screens
Bowl clips
Metered aerosol systems
Gel cups
Drain maintainer products

5. Choose the Right Paper System

For high-traffic buildings, choose:

Jumbo-roll toilet tissue
High-capacity paper towel rolls
Controlled-dispensing systems

This reduces refill time and waste.

6. Final Recommendation

Consistent cleaning, proper products, and the right tools are the foundation of restroom hygiene. A well-planned system reduces complaints and improves overall satisfaction.
