Whether you’re visiting a client, at a tourist attraction or the hospital, one of the fastest ways to tell how well the place is managed is by how clean the washrooms are.
The same rules apply to your business, as visitors will judge you based on the cleanliness of your washrooms. Whether you’re in the public or private sector, welcoming employees to work every day, or clients or customers, the rules are the same: washrooms are a reflection of your business and your service.
Maintaining the standards of a clean and functional washroom isn’t something you can do with apathy, however. You need to constantly keep on top of it, which is easier said than done if you don’t hire a commercial cleaning company.
At Monthind, we have nearly 50 years of experience helping businesses across Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex, and Cambridgeshire attain these high washroom standards, with our regular cleaning services and additional services our partners can provide.
The importance of a clean washroom
Whilst it may seem obvious, a clean washroom goes beyond just looking and smelling clean. It needs to actually be clean and hygienic to protect users’ health and safety, and your own reputation.
If your business’s washrooms aren’t well looked after, the following can happen:
Germs spread
If you don’t ensure high-touch points like door handles, taps on sinks, toilet seats and flushers are clean and sanitised, as well as washrooms being stocked up with antibacterial soap, you risk germs spreading. This can cause your employees and visitors to get sick, which will both have an impact on your business.
Reputational damage
One of the first things people comment on when they visit somewhere new is the washrooms, as that’s something you’d expect to be extremely clean. If your washrooms are dirty with overflowing bins and visible dirt, and aren’t stocked up with toilet paper, soap and paper towels, visitors will tell their friends and family who might avoid your business. It can even lead to them leaving you a bad review on Google or TrustPilot.
Employee morale
If your office and washrooms aren’t clean and hygienic, it can seriously affect employee morale. They’ll be constantly worrying about getting sick, may start to work from home, and might see it as you’re not taking care of them.
Health & safety complaints
If visitors to your business complain to the local council about your washrooms being unclean and unhygienic, the council may fine your business or shut you down until you comply with health & safety laws. This is especially important in food and drink businesses.
Professional washroom cleaning in all sectors
Ensuring your washrooms are clean and hygienic takes more than a quick once-over once a week, especially if you have a busy office or a constant stream of visitors. At Monthind, our cleaning operatives are fully trained in washroom hygiene, and come equipped with the tools and cleaning solutions to ensure washrooms in every sector are hygienic and welcoming.
Washroom cleaning for offices
If you manage a large office building that houses multiple businesses, your washrooms will see a constant flow of traffic from both employees and visitors. Our professional cleaning operatives can ensure that your washrooms are clean, sanitised and topped up with cleaning products like toilet paper, hand soap and feminine hygiene products.
Healthcare washroom cleaning
Healthcare facilities like doctors’ surgeries, hospitals, dentists and opticians need another level of cleanliness. Having employees and patients bringing germs into treatment areas could prove fatal. Monthind’s cleaning operatives are fully trained on COSHH guidelines, and are equipped to provide hygienic washroom cleaning in sensitive environments.
Public toilets
Whether you manage a train station, bus station or are responsible for local parks, your washrooms need to be pristine for visitors. Monthind has cleaning operatives strategically located across the East of England, and can clean public toilets at the end of the day, locking up after they leave.
Our washroom supplies partnerships
Whilst cleaning is our core service, we have partnered with some of the best distributors of washroom supplies to get our clients great prices on everything they need to ensure their washrooms are fully stocked, clean and hygienic.
Paper products
From different ply toilet paper to a variety of paper towels for drying hands, we can supply the full range to ensure your washrooms are fully stocked at all times.
Soaps and sanitisers
Having antibacterial soap at your sinks is essential for ensuring visitors to your washroom leave clean. We can help restock your hand soap and can supply dispensers to cut down on plastic waste. We are also able to supply hand sanitising stations outside of your washrooms, for a full cleanliness solution.
Hand dryers
Hand dryers are one of the most eco-friendly ways for your visitors and employees to dry their hands, as well as saving you money, as they’ll cut down on constantly restocking paper.
Feminine hygiene vending machines
Monthind partners with local vending machine businesses to supply washrooms with fully stocked feminine hygiene product vending machines, ensuring all visitors and employees have access to personal hygiene products they need..
