No one likes cleaning restrooms. It’s a dirty job, but as business owners know, clean public restrooms reflect on your business. In fact, 60% ofAmericans say they are more likely to spend money at a business with clean restrooms. So if you want to grow your business, investing in regularly cleaning your restrooms is worth it.
How often should you clean your restrooms?
Determining the right cleaning schedule for your business restrooms isn’t always easy. Some small business owners think that a daily cleaning or even cleaning a few times a week is enough. But as a commercial cleaning company, we can tell you that you should be cleaning your restrooms much more than that. How much more? Let’s explore that.
Figuring out the right cleaning schedule for your public restrooms is more than guesswork. To find the right schedule, you first need to determine how often your restrooms are being used compared to your restroom availability. Once you sit down to do the math, you may realize that your restrooms are being used hundreds of times each day!
What are the benefits of increasing your restroom cleaning?
Following a cleaning schedule based on foot traffic and usage seems a little daunting, in some high-traffic businesses like restaurants, airports, hospitals, or grocery stores, they clean their restrooms ten times or more a day! That may seem like a lot, but there are a lot of benefits:
- The more you clean, the quicker the job becomes. Regularly cleaning and disinfecting your restrooms means they always stay in a state of relative cleanliness, so don’t have to spend as much time deep cleaning.
- It’s easier to keep your restroom stocked. If you’re tired of getting complaints about low soap dispensers or empty toilet paper rolls, increase your cleaning schedule. With more cleaning, it will be easier to keep an eye on your restroom supplies and switch them out before they run out.
- You catch big messes faster! Every business owner has a public restroom horror story because some people make a mess in there. The more you clean your restroom, the easier it will be to address those messes before a bunch of customers complain!
The best benefit of increased restroom cleaning is odor control
Another benefit of increasing how often you clean your restrooms is that it can help prevent smelly odors from developing. Restrooms are often a source of odor complaints for facility managers, and regular cleaning can help prevent that by removing built-up bacteria or waste that occurs when they are being used. Underlying restroom problems like clogged drains, poor floor cleaning, slow-draining toilets or other problems are often the biggest source of odor issues. With a consistent schedule that addresses how often your restrooms are used, you’ll be able to recognize those stinky lingering odors faster since you’ve just cleaned the restroom.
