Designing A Washroom For Your Business

Equipment needed for washrooms
When it comes to ordering washroom equipment from a reputed supplier, you need to make a list of all the devices you need first. Hand dryers, bathroom accessories and soap dispensers are required to keep the washrooms fully equipped. You may also need to hire dedicated staff to maintain these washrooms in your organisation. 
Due to economical reasons and lower maintenance requirements, hand dryers have become very popular. Most manufacturers of hand dryers reckon businesses can reduce costs by as much as 90 per cent, compared to paper towels that cost money to remove from the premises. 
Barrier mats 
Non slip barrier mats are ideal for placing before the exit door of a washroom. These mats prevent dirt from escaping the washroom, and as part of the maintenance service, they are regularly taken away and washed. This is to ensure your barrier mats are always in good condition. 
Odour control
Air care and odour control must be checked on a regular basis. If the washroom has an unpleasant smell, your organisation’s reputation will be at stake. Make sure all the equipment is serviced and everything works as it should. The other important service to provide in washrooms is water dispenser management. There are devices that manage the timing and water flow to prevent night time flushes when there is no one in the building. You will save up to 80 per cent on the water bill by using this service. 
Hygiene
Due to previous transmittable diseases such as swine-flu, there has been increased awareness about the hygiene and cleanliness in washrooms. Most businesses nowadays take more care in sanitising toilet seats and urinals in commercial washrooms. There are santising systems that are available for getting rid of dirt and bacteria. Your staff will also notice that these systems can actually stop bad odours from forming. You will save time and money by using a sanitisation system instead of hiring people to clean toilets and urinals. When the liquid dose dispenser or the manual spray is placed below the toilet bowl, the entire pipes are kept clean and free of blockage. 
Legislation
Several areas of the washroom are ruled by regulations. You must ensure that your staff and customers abide by these regulations by providing the amenities for them. Correct disposal of nappies, sanitary waste, tissues and incontinence pads are all fundamental part of the waste management procedure. Under the agreed code of health, welfare and safety practice (1992 regulations) you must guarantee that your washrooms are responsibly managed and the waste is collected and disposed of properly.
