Ways To Keep Your Commercial Bathroom Dry
Did you know that a wet, messy restroom is a huge liability for small and large businesses alike? Here are three simple ways to keep your commercial bathroom dry, sanitary, and welcoming for patrons.
Consistent Maintenance and Repairs
The easiest way to ensure your facilities remain dry and safe for patrons is by conducting regular maintenance and repairs. Thoroughly cleaning your restroom on a consistent basis keeps floor and countertop water at a minimum while promoting a more sanitary environment. Custodial staff must have access to the proper cleaning supplies, chemicals, and tools at all times to guarantee more successful maintenance. Additionally, never hesitate to repair plumbing fixtures immediately when problems arise—simple problems with flush valves can cause your toilets to overflow when left unfixed.
Proper Ventilation
A broken or damaged plumbing fixture can spell disaster for a commercial restroom. However, other factors contribute to a messy facility, such as an individual who uses sinks, toilets, and other amenities improperly. Over time, water will accumulate on the floors, walls, and countertops, despite your best maintenance efforts. Therefore, you need passive assistance that continuously controls moisture levels in your bathroom—ventilation! Quality vents and HVAC systems help remove standing water and moisture over time, eliminating mold growth and persistent odors. Consider consulting a professional electrician to determine the ideal ventilation setup and design for your facility.
Urinal Mats
Unfortunately, some liquid-based messes in the restroom aren’t water. This is especially true in the men’s room, where standing urinals are more prone to spillage. The mess poses three threats—it’s unsanitary, potentially dangerous, and overall unwelcoming for bathroom patrons. Urinal mats are common additions used in larger buildings that provide additional floor protection from moisture and spillage accumulation. Plus, they’re an extremely affordable solution that doesn’t require any effort!
These three ways to keep your commercial bathroom dry will provide a safer, more sanitary, and more welcoming environment for your employees and guests. Most importantly, taking the time to maintain your facilities helps lower liability for workplace injuries and accidents.
