The importance of washroom hygiene

Posted on Friday 1 January 2010

WASHROOMS MUST be kept clean and hygienic to protect the health and safety of staff.

High-frequent touch points, such as toilet lids, seats and doors should cleaned with an all-purpose or alcohol-based cleaner, as acid-based cleaners can stain.

Use acidic deep cleaners for wall tiles, scrubbing with a green manual pad to remove dirt and oils, then rinse with clean water and wipe with a rubber squeegee for a professional finish.

On larger surface areas, a high-pressure cleaner on cold operation with a foam device attachment, such as the Cup Foam Lance Advanced, is an economical solution.

For taps, shower heads, and mixing valves, limescale-dissolving cleaning agents with citric acid should be applied with a non-abrasive cleaning cloth rather than sprayed directly on to the surface, then rinsed thoroughly to prevent damage.

Scrubber dryers with a roller brush head and an acidic deep cleaner are highly effective for washroom floors, like the BR 35/12Bp. Once rinsed, disinfection can be carried out with a misting machine for even coverage.
