Public Restroom Cleaning Guide

Restrooms are breeding grounds for germs and bacteria, and it is essential to keep them tidy to decrease the spread of health hazards. The surfaces in your restrooms should be cleaned, disinfected, and sanitized frequently to decrease the risk of infection. However, health is not the only reason to upkeep the cleanliness of a restroom in your facility. A clean restroom shows that you run a high-quality facility and supports client retention. The condition of your restrooms leaves a lasting impression on your customers.

Safety First

Before any cleaning begins put up wet floor signs to let people know that the floor could be slippery.

  • Place a sign at the entrance to the restroom
  • Place a sign inside the restroom

Restroom Cleaning Checklist - Daily

These things need to be done daily or several times a day to keep up the freshness of the restroom and provide a comfortable experience for anyone who enters.

  • Wipe counters- could be done several times a day and will prevent hard water stains on counters
  • Empty trashcans as soon as they are full to prevent paper towels from ending up all over the floor
  • Spot clean the floor
  • Sweep the floor
  • Clean toilets and urinals
  • Restock- soap, paper towels, toilet paper, etc.

Restroom Commercial Cleaning Checklist- Weekly

Apart from the daily cleaning, weekly cleaning is important too. This is a task you might want to delegate to a commercial cleaning company.

  • Wipe and polish faucets and mirrors
  • Remove watermarks and scrub down countertops and sinks
  • Clean toilets and urinals
  • Clean and disinfect flat surfaces
  • Sweep and mop the floors

Restroom Deep Cleaning Checklist- Biannually

Before beginning to deep clean restrooms, you must have maintained the daily and weekly cleanings of the restrooms. Biannual cleaning should be delegated to a commercial cleaning company.

  • Clean sinks and clear out drains
  • Scrub and clean all grout
  • Clean walls and stall partitions
