It is no secret to us that commercial businesses where management focuses on having clean restroom have increased productivity, morale, and retention. Environment, Health, and Safety Today writes:
“83 percent [of u.s. workers] – believe that the state and cleanliness of their workplace restrooms is one indicator of how a company values its employees.”
Additionally, your bathroom cleanliness can make or break your business’s reputation.
“according to the 10th Annual Healthy Hand Washing Survey by Bradley Corp”… “64% of consumers make a conscious decision to choose a business based on the fact that it has cleaner, well-maintained restrooms. Women are even more likely to be drawn to pleasing restrooms compared to men (67% vs. 61%).”

Today, the rise of social media gives customers the opportunity to share photos or videos of a businesses unhygienic restroom online, potentially affecting future customers. In fact: apps like “Squat or Not” & “Flush” already exist for others to rate your facilities, showing why keeping a clean bathroom is essential to your business. This article will highlight the key benefits of consistent commercial bathroom cleaning.
What a Clean Bathroom Can Accomplish For Your Business:
A professionally cleaned restroom can Develop Trust With Your Customers
Trust is a fundamental part of any relationship, and helps a business thrive. Clients can develop a negative perception of your business if your restrooms are not properly maintained, and a positive perception if they are well kept.
A survey was taken from 2,036 adults in the United States and 74% stated a dirty bathroom would lead to a negative opinion of that business. This negative perception can lead to distrust from your client base. Customers could choose to do business elsewhere if they have reason to distrust your other business operations such as billing, customer service, etc.
A professionally cleaned restroom can Reduce Customer Complaints
A satisfied customer is a repeat customer. A clean restroom can represent your business’s values and your dedication to your customers’ happiness. According to the 2016 Bradley Company Hand Washing Survey: it was revealed that “consumers would like to see in public restrooms include more frequent cleaning, access to all touchless fixtures, regular stocking of materials, and lots of paper towels – even if there are dryers.” - Source
Based on this information, it’s clear that customers will appreciate the extra effort your company put into the restroom cleanliness and potentially even encourage new customers while staying longer at your business.
A professionally cleaned restroom can Prevent the spread of disease
Today more than ever, consumers are more conscious of germs and the spreading of disease. According to the Restroom Experience Survey 202 with a total of 580 survey respondents by Zurn Industries, LLC, August 2020:
“84% of the survey respondents said they are generally concerned about exposure from people around them, a large majority (67%) also worried about catching germs and viruses from surfaces. This sentiment carries the most weight in restrooms.People tend to touch many of the same surfaces in restrooms allowing germs/viruses to spread more easily.”

Hire a professional company to take the proper cleaning steps to help fight the battle of spreading disease.
