Restroom Cleaning Chemicals and Washroom Cleaning Routine

Washrooms are the most heavily used and most closely judged rooms in any office, hotel, hospital, mall or factory. They collect two very different kinds of soil: limescale, soap scum and hard-water marks on fittings, and organic soil, stains and odour in toilets and urinals. A good routine uses the right product for each, works from cleaner areas to dirtier ones, and finishes with the floor.

This page covers the 8 key areas of a washroom and a routine your housekeeping team can follow every shift. For the complete EVO range, including products for offices, lobbies and rooms, see our institutional housekeeping chemicals range.
