The importance of cleaning and janitorial products in public and commercial buildings [Blog]

A blog written by Franke Sissons

In any public, semi-public, or commercial building it is important to consider daily visitors and users. The appearance of any building can completely transform someone’s judgement, whether it be a hotel, place of work, leisure facilities, restaurants, or hospitals. Therefore, it is key to portray a good image to whoever the visitors may be.

Although washrooms and utility spaces are not necessarily the first thing someone looks for in a review before booking a day out or a trip, it can be a deal-breaker when it comes to someone returning if the facilities aren’t up to scratch.

Hygiene is important in any building, and we are aware now, more than ever, of the impact of good hygiene and cleaning in any public space. However, it is not just a matter of hygiene standards which should be faultless as a matter of course, particularly in hospitals and restaurants. But it is also a question of making sure that the style and quality of products also get care and attention and are thoroughly cleaned and maintained in and out of the washroom.

Janitorial and utility spaces can often be an afterthought when working on any project. After all much like the washrooms, they are often the last areas to be finished, whether it be a new build project or a refurbishment.

The importance of these products is paramount to any building to keep cleaning and hygiene standards to an absolute maximum and should be considered when designing and planning any build.

In addition to this, selecting products that are manufactured from quality materials can provide many benefits. Quality materials such as stainless steel can often be recycled and have a long life, meaning you won’t have to keep replacing products every few years.

Also, choosing products that have been specifically designed for janitorial and utility spaces can also help staff achieve maximum efficiency and performance when cleaning and maintaining a building.

A healthcare compliant version is also available which is manufactured in accordance with HTM 64 and HBN 00-01 Part C guidance. The range also features utility sinks, sluice sinks, slop hoppers and general-purpose sinks which are all manufactured from quality stainless steel.

Stainless steel is extremely robust, hygienic, and easy to clean helping building operators to keep service and maintenance costs to a minimum.
