Case study: washroom and floor-care programme for an office campus

15 Oct 2026 · 5 min read

Programme example: this case study describes how Evochem typically sets up a hygiene programme for this type of site. Customer names and site results are not published here.

This application case study describes a typical office campus or IT park managed by a facility management team: several towers, high-traffic washrooms on every floor, lobbies with stone flooring, cafeterias and pantries, and large areas cleaned by scrubber-dryer machines.

Below is how Evochem usually builds a washroom and floor-care programme for a site like this, and what the facility team should monitor to judge whether it is working.

The site and its hygiene challenges

• Washrooms used heavily through the day, with scale, soap scum and odour building up between cleans.

• Stone and vitrified tile floors in lobbies that dull when alkaline or residue-forming products are used.

• Scrubber-dryers that struggle with high-foam products.

• Grease carried from cafeterias and pantries onto nearby floors.

• Large housekeeping teams, often with frequent staff changes, mixing chemicals by eye.

• Clients and occupants who judge the whole facility by the state of its washrooms.

Assessment

1. Walk the campus with the facility manager: washrooms, lobbies, office floors, cafeterias and pantries.

2. Record floor types and finishes, and which areas are cleaned by machine or by mop.

3. List the products in use and how they are diluted and dispensed.

4. Review the current washroom cleaning frequency and checklist.

5. Agree a short product list, dilution charts and checklists by area.

The cleaning programme

Daily routines are kept simple, with periodic deep cleaning scheduled separately.

1. Washrooms, routine: EVO 1 at 2% to 5% for basins, fittings, tiles and urinals; EVO 6 for toilet bowls; EVO 3 at 2% to 10% for mirrors and glass partitions.

2. Washrooms, periodic: EVO 9 at 2% to 10% for scale and scum on tiles and ceramics, scheduled by the facility team.

3. Washroom drains: Blaze Drain, ready to use, to maintain drains prone to sludge build-up.

4. Hand hygiene: Lush Foamy or Lush Fresh, ready to use, in washroom dispensers.

5. Office and lobby floors: EVO 7 at 2% to 5% for daily mopping and scrubber-dryer cleaning, as it leaves no unwanted residue.

6. Cafeteria and pantry floors: Novel OGR at 2% to 5%, a low-foam cleaner for grease and oil that suits scrubber-dryers.

7. Service areas, basements and loading bays: Novel HD at 2% to 5% for heavy soil and oil.

8. Hard surfaces, desks and counters: EVO 2 at 2% to 5%.
