The Importance Of Clean Restrooms

• Public perception
• Barometer of overall building cleanliness.
• Public health inspectors may close facility
• Caulking - cracked or missing
• Floors - corners, drains, under around
  fixtures
• Fixtures - hard water crust - not working
• No soap / paper
• Walls - under around fixtures
• Breeding ground
• Bacteria, viruses, fungi odors
• To protect the health of occupants

Sources of Building Complaints

A Clean Restroom Will Have No Odors

• Clean Restrooms have a Neutral Odor
• Not fragrances covering malodors zero / neutral

5
RESTROOM RENOVATION

• Start Clean
• To
• Stay Clean

6
T.A.C.T. Principle

• For products to work effectively, they need
• Time
• Time to penetrate and loosen soils
• Agitation
• Soils wont disappear without assistance
• Concentration
• Correct dilution
• Temperature
• Most products formulated for cold water only

7
How Disinfectants Work

• Disinfection occurs only if the solution is at
  the correct dilution.
• Disinfectants lose effectiveness in relation to
  the amount of foreign matter suspended in the
  solution. In the presence of 5 serum
• Take time to work
• 100 kill 10 min.

8
How Do Disinfectants Work?

• Sanitizers
• Reduces the Number of Bacterial Contaminates to
  Safe Levels
• Clean water and a clean cloth will sanitize a
  surface
• Disinfectants
• Agents that eliminate (kill) microorganisms

9
How Disinfectants Work

• Phenolics Work by disrupting cell membranes and
  denaturing proteins
• Disadvantages irritating to skin can cause skin
  depigmentation, irritating to nose and throat,
  toxic, dangerous to infants, poor water
  solubility, may discolor or otherwise damage
  surfaces with which they come in contact.
• Some states consider discarded phenolic compounds
  to be hazardous waste

10
How Disinfectants Work

• Quat-based disinfectants carry a positive charge.
  Bacteria, viruses and fungi carry a negative
  charge. When a bacteria-laden surface is sprayed
  or mopped with a disinfectant, the charge
  distribution of the bacteria cell changes from
  negative to positive. This results in the
  disruption of the bacteria cell wall and eventual
  death to the microbe.

11
How Disinfectants Work

• Hypochlorites (Bleach) do not work well in the
  presence of soils, so surfaces must be
  pre-cleaned.
• Highly caustic to skin and surfaces.
• Highly reactive with other chemicals that easily
  release toxic gasses.
• The odor is so strong when diluted correctly,
  that most people tend to use less than necessary
  for complete disinfection
• Degrades quickly when diluted, exposed to air, or
  light.
