5 Ways You Could Improve Your Washrooms

You should be confident that you are supplying your customers and staff with toilet facilities that people want to use. You don’t want people to be put of by poor quality washroom facilities. While most people do not expect your washrooms to constantly smell like roses, bad odours and unhygienic appearances can make people have second thoughts about using your facilities and whether they will return to your business.

Wouldn’t it be great if someone could take some of the hassle out of making sure your washrooms are always in great working order?

Below we will go over 5 things that you need to think about when reviewing your washroom facilities (and how we can help).

Do you have any blocked drains or plumbing issues that are causing a bad smell?

Sometimes buildup in drains can cause water to become stagnant and smelly. Sometimes the issue is further down from the drain where build up of organic waste can can cause pungent smells when the sink or urinal is used. You should utilise products such as Eco-Urinal mats and WC sanitisers in order to maintain the quality of your plumbing and lower the level of blockages. They both release matter that works against organic build up in both urinals and toilets. This means that you won’t have to worry about bad smells coming from those drain or plumbing. Both the urinal mats and cistern based sanitisers release a pleasant smell. The importance of

Do you have bad ventilation and no odor management?

One of the first things that people notice when they walk into a washroom is the smell. Having made sure that your drains and plumbing are not causing odour in your washrooms you should also take steps to make sure that you have facilities in place to eradicate bad odours that are unavoidable in the bathroom. The most obvious solution is an air freshener. These units are completely aerosol free, instead using a fan to spread the scent around the room. They are smarty programmable to operate when your business needs it to run and are great for helping keep any bad smells. Even in those bathrooms with less ventilation.

Do your washrooms get high levels of usage and often run out of consumables and become messy?

You need to make sure that your washrooms are kept supplied with all the necessities needed for the users of the bathroom. The soap must always be filled, the paper replaced and the facilities are cleaned and maintained. Sanokil not only services the products that we provide taking the hassle out of your washroom maintenance – but we also supply paper products such as toilet paper and hand towel. These can even be set up to be delivered at an agreed frequency or we can send you an email when it is time to restock.

Are your sanitary bins being serviced at the correct frequency?

One thing that should never happen in bathrooms is having sanitary bins that are overfilled. Your washroom service provider should be able to work with you via increasing service frequency or coming up with solutions that work for your business. We can even do a few emergency visits a year and increase the frequency over your peak seasons that certain businesses experience.

Are your washrooms giving users a pleasant experience or seen as a hassle to have to use?

All the previous points come together in providing this. We have all had the experience of going to a bathroom and being shocked at the low quality and unhygienic offerings. Walking cubicle to cubicle trying to find toilet paper or getting frustrated when we realise the soap is empty or that there is no paper towel. Or just being grossed out by the low level of hygiene.

Overall the bathroom experience should not leave a person feeling dirty, unclean or uncomfortable. After using facilities that are filled with high quality facilities that have been maintained means that the person is much more likely to visit your site again. People avoid bathrooms that they have had bad experiences with. They also make assumptions about your business as a whole. All the above points and more come together to provide a good bathroom experience. Should you provide baby change facilities? What about hand sanitisers? You should aim to meet or exceed the expectations of your customers and staff.
