As a business owner, you know that appearances are important. Your customers want your business to look clean, neat, and up to date. Regularly updating your business with new features or remodeling to better suit your customer’s needs is part of being a business owner. But there’s one place that many business owners tend to neglect, the restroom.
Improving your businesses’ restroom may not be high on your priority list, but it can make a big difference. Customers appreciate a clean, neat, and well-designed public restroom. There are even competitions for the best public restrooms now!
As a cleaning company, we’ve seen every kind of restroom you can imagine. Over the years, we’ve learned what works best and what doesn’t. Here are a few of the top upgrades we recommend if you’re ready to remodel.
- Improved layout. Public restroom designs are changing. A new trend for large commercial restrooms is separate entrances, more space between sinks, and fully partitioned stalls to decrease germs and traffic flow. These changes give people more privacy and reduce the spread of bacteria.
- Touchless plumbing fixtures. This is a big one after a year of COVID-19. People are more concerned than ever with proper hygiene, especially in public restrooms. Installing touchless sinks and hand dryers, or even an all-in-one sink/dryer unit is a great way to cut down on the spread of bacteria and germs.
- Modern design. Old, drabby, out-of-style bathrooms make your business look bad. Invest in high-quality materials that will look good for years to come. Customers appreciate well-designed, inviting spaces, and making your restroom look good will pay off.
- Self-cleaning sinks and automatic soap dispensers. This is a new and exciting trend. New sink designs featuring a self-cleaning cycle between uses are starting to hit the market. These fixtures combined with automatic soap dispensers that alert you to low soap levels are a great way to cut down on germs, bacteria, and mess.
- Updated HVAC and air filtration. Older bathrooms tend to stink, and that smell can linger. If you find that your bathroom stinks all the time, even with regular cleaning, it’s time to improve your filtration systems. A stinky bathroom will always turn away customers!
