The Ideal Commercial Restroom: Aspects to Consider

Nowadays when the competition of cafés and restaurants is increasing by the minute, it’s more than important to try and make the place as comfortable as possible, and provide an incredible experience, exactly what customers are looking for.

This also has to do with the influence of social networks, particularly Instagram, so if you want your place to be acceptable in terms of Instagram, you have to make the place as fun as possible, including the restrooms (especially the restrooms!).

Same as every other part of the cafe or restaurant, it’s crucial to maintain the restrooms hygienic. While this refers to regular cleaning, as in daily, it also means getting the necessary equipment, from mops and buckets, to detergents, like toilet and floor cleaners, commercial hand cleaner and sanitiser.

A restroom that looks clean and smells clean is sure to convince customers on your place’s cleanliness. As there is a wide range of commercial hand cleaner types, there are also those that provide cleansing while retaining the skin’s moisture, and the additional pleasant smell, so people are sure to enjoy the time spent in your restroom.

Speaking of enjoyment, the ambiance plays a huge role in the experience, so make sure to take the time to consider the décor of the restrooms. When choosing designs, it’s important to take the materials into account, and opt for HDPE plastic, for partitions too because it’s the material resistant to mould growth and where there’s mould there’s unpleasant smell.

More on the décor, you have to ensure the lighting is appropriate: nothing glaring, but warm lighting. The colours of the interior are equally important in this, so it’s advisable to pick soft colours for the walls, floors, partitions, and sinks.

Speaking in terms of décor, the addition of plants is more than welcome and is sure to help with the pleasant smell, purify the air, plus add a natural feel thanks to the greenery and flowers. The choice of mirrors, wall decals, and floor tiles is part of the charm too, and if you’re up for creating a unique ambiance, you could choose some theme. That’s sure to bring you Instagram success.

Of course, décor isn’t all there is to it, as there are Australian Standards for Disabled Access and Mobility to consider, designing a restroom accessible for people with disabilities. This refers to the addition of grab rails, as much as it does to back rests, toilet roll holders, hand dryers, and soap dispensers.
