Washroom Hygiene

Washroom hygiene defines the cleaning, odor control, and maintenance practices required to protect health, comfort, and perception. These standards are not cosmetic—they safeguard staff wellbeing, customer trust, and overall facility hygiene.

Act immediately—odors are often the first sign of poor hygiene, plumbing issues, or waste buildup and can damage staff morale and customer trust.

Why it matters:

  • Health risk: Persistent odors may signal bacteria, mold, or blocked drains that can pose health hazards.
  • Customer perception: A smelly washroom gives a negative impression of the entire establishment.
  • Operational impact: Odors can spread to nearby areas, affecting the comfort of staff and guests.

Steps to take:

  • Check and empty bins if they are not freshly cleared
  • Deep clean toilets, urinals, floors, and drains with disinfectant
  • Use odor-neutralizing cleaners rather than masking scents
  • Confirm the ventilation system is working and air is circulating
  • Report plumbing issues or persistent odors to maintenance immediately
