If you are the owner of a small business and you are not satisfied with the cleanliness of your restrooms despite a professional cleaning company providing services, then you might be considering your options. One option is to hire a different company, but of course there is no guarantee that another company will live up to your standards, either. One other option is to clean them yourself, but with the countless other responsibilities that you have, how can you possibly find the time? Here is a guide for keeping your restrooms in immaculate condition, regardless of how many you may have:
Getting the job done quickly
In order to prevent the cleaning of your restrooms from taking a great deal of time, here is a step-by-step process from quickly getting in and getting out, so you can continue the rest of your duties. Before beginning, you will want to ensure that you have all your necessary industrial strength cleaners and equipment like a mop, broom, rags, etc.:
Step 1. Take a quick assessment of the restroom to determine the full extent of what needs to be done.
Step 2. Quickly rid the restrooms of any debris that may be on the floors, in the stalls, and on the counters. Place them in a trash bag and empty the trash before putting in new trash bags.
Step 3. Apply disinfectant to the sinks, counters, toilets, light switches, soap dispensers, and door handles. Allow the product time to work, and then wipe clean with a cleaning rag.
Step 4. Restock any soap, toilet paper, paper towels and any other supplies that are running low.
Step 5. Use the appropriate cleaner to wipe down the sinks, toilets, counters and faucets. You will need to ensure that you clean the inside of each toilet with a toilet brush. Don't forget to use window cleaner to clean the mirrors.
Step 6. Sweep, mop, and then place the appropriate wet floor sign.
Adhere to a schedule
Creating a regular cleaning schedule will help make staying on top of your job easier. A regular cleaning schedule will also bring structure to your business, which is important. If you are unable to perform the cleaning at the same time each day, then you can always opt to appoint one of your employees. By following the previous quick cleaning steps, cleaning the restrooms shouldn't take too much time out of an appointed employee's schedule.
Make regular checks
After you have cleaned your restrooms, your work isn't finished. You will need to constantly check them in order to ensure that they remain in optimal condition at all times. You may need to refresh the restrooms at regular intervals, and ensure that supplies are restocked whenever necessary. This is especially true if you have high levels of traffic on a regular basis.
Having clean restrooms at all times is a very important aspect of running a business. If your restrooms are in poor condition, then customers may decide to do business elsewhere. If your cleaning service is doing a substandard job and you are forced to take over the task yourself, then there is no reason that doing so has to be time-consuming. By following this guide, you can ensure that your restrooms are cleaned as quickly and as efficiently as possible.
