Why The Right Public Restroom Supplies Are Important

By Carolyn Parker


You will find that many people judge your company, and the way they will be treated, by the public restrooms in your lobby. This really sets the tone of their visit, so to speak. The visitors you have expect this, so it is critical to keep them clean and ready for any use that is needed. This means you must ensure that the appropriate public restroom supplies.

Having the serious discussion about supplies in regular restrooms is one thing. Having the same talk about a public space is quite another. If it is in your building lobby, it is one thing. If in a public park, should that be your job, it is different. For one thing, the materials you supply may not be as expensive as you may have in the executive suite or at home.

The basics consist, first, of toilet paper. This may be dispensed from a closed dispenser or simply inserted onto a pole that might actually be locked onto a retaining bar. There is any number of brands and thickness. You may have a nice two or three ply paper at home, however, in a public setting, one or two ply is fine.

Paper towels are something that must be supplied to help encourage hand washing. This is a sanitary need and also a health issue. There are many grades of paper towels and even recycled brands. The colors will be anything from bright white to brown. They need to be as absorbent as your budget will allow.

An innovation, over several years, is the replacement of paper towels with air blow dryers. These have been determined to be actually more sanitary than paper towels, This is a way to show those who enter how much you care about their health. It is also a way to help prevent a lot of paper towels being thrown on the floor, thus making it harder to clean.

Soap is actually kind of important when you are about to leave this space. That dispenser with liquid soap is far more economical than having bars of soap sitting the counter. It should not be the most expensive, however, it should be a fairly nice smelling one. It would also be appropriate to stock antibacterial soap as well as hypoallergenic.

The vast majority of people using public facilities use seat covers. There are, just like other supplies you will be ordering and stocking, many different brands. There are also different ways they are folded when you get them. The dispensers should be hung in each toilet stall. The type of fold should not be an issue as they are all designed to fit on all standard toilet seat rims.

Finding all of these supplies is fairly easy by locating a good janitorial or paper products store. They will come packed in large industrial boxes. Having plenty of this available when the cleaning crew comes through will help minimize problems of locating everything when they are needed. No one says public restrooms should all look and smell bad.
