The COVID pandemic has made office-going employees more aware about the need for good hygiene than ever before. One of the focus areas is the bathroom, as it can be a disease epicenter if proper care is not taken. The best starting point in ensuring good hygiene and cleanliness is installing public toilet cubicles that are easy to clean and feature antibacterial properties. In this blog, we are going to look at some useful tips to improve office bathroom hygiene and cleanliness.
Make hand soap available
While hand soap has always been a feature in most public toilets, it has become a necessity ever since the outbreak of the pandemic. The type of soap also has to be appropriate for the industry in which you operate. For example, you will need gentle hand soap for toilets that are used by the public, industry-certified sanitizing soap for the food industry, and heavy-duty soap to get rid of oil and grease.

Install hand drying facilities
Wet hands are a magnet for disease-causing pathogens, exacerbating the spread throughout the office. That is why you must install hand drying facilities in office toilets to allow users to dry their hands immediately after washing them. You can go for disposable towels, although an air dryer comes highly recommended.
Leverage technology
There is a slew of touchless technologies that have come to the fore in recent times that are all designed to promote better hygiene in public toilets. Some of the available options that you should consider include:
- Auto-open doors
- Motion-sensor lights
- Automatic toilet flushing
- Foot pedal taps
- No-touch taps
Keep bathroom necessities available
Make sure that all the bathroom necessities such as air fresheners, toilet rolls, hand soap, and disposable towels are well stocked. This helps avoid any gaps that may present an opportunity for the spread of disease around the workplace.
