The Importance of Washroom Hygiene

THERE IS MORE TO IT THAN MEETS THE EYE

Here at we clean, we understand the value of a positive first impression. However, where Washroom hygiene is concerned, it is important to look past first impressions and delve a little deeper.

Harmful germs and bacteria are very common in Washroom environments and whilst a surface may look clean, this is not always the case. it is only when the correct methods are used, that a surface can be hygienically clean. There are numerous benefits to a hygienically clean Washroom, namely, it will stop the spread of harmful germs and bacteria to other areas of the workplace, but a pleasant bathroom environment will also boost staff morale and save the fabric of the building, in turn reducing ongoing running costs.

Through the implementation of proper and professional Washroom Cleaning methods and thanks to incredibly rigorous training, we clean Operatives are able to remove the maximum amount of harmful bacteria as possible. In co-ordination with the British Institute of Cleaning Science (BICS), our Cleaning Operatives use a ‘clean to dirty’ methodology using correct colour coding and materials, resulting in our clients having a healthy Washroom environment that is not only aesthetically pleasing, but hygienically clean!

Our dedicated Training and Health & Safety Manager, Duncan Thomson is confident that:

“Our methods ensure that we aren’t further contaminating any areas of the Washroom, instead we look to remove harmful bacteria by working from the least to most used areas of the Washroom. We don’t underestimate the value of thorough training, it is an integral part of the Company’s ethos to provide an excellent standard of cleaning.”

Evidence of the importance the Company puts on Washroom hygiene, is highlighted through our success at both the 2015 and 2016 UK Loo Of The Year Awards, which are considered to be the pinnacle in Washroom hygiene standards. The awards have a simple objective, to encourage the highest possible standards in all ‘away from home’ Washrooms. We take great pride in the fact that for the past two years running, one of our Cleaning Operatives, Baba Seckan has won National Attendant Of The Year and the Company has won the UK Loo Of The Year Award in 2015.

These accolades are a testament to the emphasis we put upon Washroom hygiene as we aim to ensure that our clients washrooms not only look the part, but are safe and free from harmful bacteria.
