What You Need in a Washroom

Washrooms are an important part of any business. Your staff and customers expect high quality, safe and hygienic washrooms. So what are the items you need in a washroom and how are they maintained? Below we will explore the must-haves of any washroom. We will then look at the maintenance of each and how Sanokil can help.

Firstly, let’s go over the things that every washroom should have. First up is a soap dispenser. These are vital for the health and safety of everyone who uses the washroom. They should remain full and functional so that everyone always has the means to protect themselves from germs and the illness that they cause.

Now you need to provide a way for the bathroom user to dry their hands. Apart from the annoyance, wet hands pick up more germs and bacteria from surfaces than dry hands. You can invest in hand dryers or provide a paper towel dispenser. Like the soap dispenser, the dispenser needs to remain topped up with the paper towel.

In washrooms that will be used by females, it is vital that you provide a means to dispose of sanitary waste. Sanitary bins should be placed beside toilets for the convenience of the bathroom users. This also minimizes the risk of plumbing problems caused by people flushing their products down the toilet. To avoid smell, they should be changed and cleaner frequently and the waste disposed of in accordance with local laws.

Now that we have gone over the vital elements of a washroom, let’s go over some extras that are needed to provide a great user experience. Firstly, hand sanitisers are becoming a more expected washroom feature now that we are learning to live through a global pandemic. Placed next to the exit of a washroom, or even outside the door, it is a great way to provide an extra level of protection.

Toilet seat cleaners are also a much-appreciated feature of washrooms. It allows the user to quickly kill 99.9% of germs on the toilet seat before use.

The smell of a room has the ability to sway a washroom user’s perception of the bathroom and the business it is located in. It is important to install air fresheners to keep your washroom smelling fresh and clean. They must be frequently maintained by replacing any batteries and switching out the scents. 

Lastly, if young families will be using your washroom facilities it is very important that you provide them with a means of changing nappies. Nappy change tables come in different shapes and sizes so that they are able to fit in a variety of shaped and sized rooms. Nappy change tables must be wiped down and sanitised at frequent intervals. 

For many people who would like to focus on their core business operations, managing all the washroom facilities can be overwhelming and time-consuming. That’s where Sanokil can come into help. Most of our products come with full servicing. This means that we will come in at an agreed interval and change the sanitary bins, fill up your soap dispensers and more.
