keeping bathroom facilities clean

Washrooms, along with kitchens require specific cleaning regimes to ensure that the highest standards of hygiene are maintained in order to prevent the spread of harmful bacteria to other parts of the building and beyond.

It is also generally accepted that the factor that most influences whether or not a customer returns to a pub or restaurant is the condition and cleanliness of the washroom facilities; this above the quality of the food and the professionalism of the service.  With this in mind, it is clear the standards achieved within washrooms need to be of the highest possible.

It is estimated that at any given time a healthy adult carries around in excess of one hundred trill micro-organisms, including bacteria, viruses and fungi.  The vast majority of these microorganisms are harmless and will not make us ill, however some are harmful and can cause illness and disease if they are allowed to spread.  These are know as "pathogens".

Within the washroom environment, we, as humans do two things that can spread harmful micro-organisms, that is excrete waste and touch communal surfaces.  All human waste is potentially harmful if it is allowed to come into contact with other human beings.  Without an effective cleaning regime, the risks of infection are increased and harmful bacteria will be allowed to spread.

There are a number of ways bacteria can spread throughout a building, the most effective and dangerous way is by transferring from human to human.  For example, many food poisoning outbreaks can be tracked back to one food handler not washing their hands after going to the toilet.

We need to deal with the different hazards created by the normal processes within a washroom and how cleaners can deal with them effectively.  

When providing our customers with commercial cleaning services Jani-King ensures that the cleaning regime maintains the hygienic environment required for all users of your premises.
