High-Touch Restroom Surfaces Deserve Special Attention
A restroom can appear clean while frequently touched fixtures still require attention.
For offices, apartment buildings, retail stores, schools, and commercial facilities, cleaning professionals should incorporate overlooked restroom surfaces into their routine inspection procedures.
Professional Cleaning Recommendations:
* Clean restroom stall latches, door handles, and accessible partition edges.
* Pay attention to fingerprints, residue, and accumulated dirt.
* Use cleaning products compatible with the surface material.
* Follow disinfectant label instructions, including required contact time.
* Replace contaminated cleaning cloths between designated cleaning zones.
* Use appropriate personal protective equipment.
* Document restroom inspections and maintenance concerns.
Property Management Bonus Tip: Include stall hardware, partitions, door handles, and accessible hinges in your buildingโs janitorial quality-control checklist.
๐ก๏ธ Important Cleaning Safety Reminder
Cleaning and disinfecting are different processes.
Cleaning removes dirt and impurities from surfaces.
Disinfecting uses an appropriate registered product to kill specified microorganisms when the label directions are followed.
For professional janitorial operations, employees should understand proper product use, dilution requirements, personal protective equipment, and chemical safety procedures.
Additional educational resources are available through CDC Cleaning and Disinfecting Guidanceโ ๏ฟผ and EPA's Disinfectant Informationโ ๏ฟผ.
