In a time when the world has taken a huge hit from the Coronavirus Pandemic, it is important to maintain the highest possible level of hygiene and cleanliness in all aspects of life. One space that needs extra attention is the public restroom. Public toilets receive heavy footfall on a daily basis which makes them a hotspot for the spread of pathogens such as viruses and bacteria. To prevent the spread of deadly pathogens, it is important to ensure regular cleaning and maintenance of public restrooms. In this blog post, we discuss some useful tips that can help in the effective maintenance of public restrooms to keep them clean and germ-free.
Public restroom design should be such that it allows easy and convenient cleaning. Modular systems designed with antibacterial laminates that boast high abrasion and wear resistance represent the most popular choice when it comes to public restrooms. It is recommended to install dry restroom systems that are installed at a height from the floor to make it easy to clean the entire floor and also prevent the accumulation of dirt and debris.

A strict cleaning schedule is essential for public restrooms to maintain the best level of hygiene. General cleaning should be done daily and scheduled thorough cleaning should be conducted on a weekly, fortnightly, or monthly basis. Different surfacing materials require a different level of care and maintenance. For example, public toilet partitions made from compact laminates require less care and can be cleaned on a fortnightly basis whereas the traditional bathroom walls may need more frequent cleaning. In addition, the frequency of cleaning should be determined according to the traffic that the restroom receives.
