Don’t allow your restroom to become the source of customer or employee complaints. Adhere to the following guidelines to insure a cleaner, healthier restroom environment.

1. Get ready to clean - this includes making a list of duties, making certain the supply closet is clean & having the proper supplies & equipment on hand.

2. Disinfect toilets, sinks & surfaces - make sure you are wearing the proper safety items such as gloves, protective eyewear, etc. Spray all fixtures with the correct chemicals to allow time to “soak” in. Wipe clean.

3. Restock expendable supplies - always make sure you fill the dispenser with the correct size paper or soap product. Be sure to secure the dispenser after it has been filled.
