Our team at hybridH2o has extensive experience in working on public restrooms, with a particular focus on public urinals. Public restrooms are an essential facility in any venue, and they serve a vital public health function. In this article, our team will go over some of the most common complaints we have heard about public urinals and offer suggestions for how to resolve these issues.
- Minimize Contact – One of the most common complaints about public urinals and public restrooms generally has to do with the need to touch handles, counters, and other surfaces. These touch points accumulate germs at a high rate and spread those germs to subsequent users. You can minimize contact with bathroom surfaces in many ways, such as by switching to automatic toilets, sinks, and soap dispensers, as well as by replacing traditional urinals with waterless models. If there’s no need to flush the urinal, there’s no need to touch it either.
- Maintain Positive Scent – Another common complaint about public urinals is that they smell. This issue most often arises in restrooms that are not well maintained, but even if you take care to clean your restrooms regularly, it’s still wise to invest in odor-neutralizing products. Our urinal cartridges are designed to prevent unpleasant odors and give a positive scent to your restrooms.
- Keep Restrooms Stocked – A third issue people often encounter after using public urinals is a lack of soap, paper towels, or other necessary supplies with which to wash their hands. We encourage you to keep your restroom well stocked with all necessary items to ensure everyone can practice good hygiene and maintain their comfort.
