One sign of a good and clean restaurant is how sanitary and well-maintained the bathrooms are! Restrooms that are not cleaned and disinfected properly can lead to unsanitary conditions, bacteria and pathogen growth, and potentially the spread of disease – not to mention unpleasant odors and unsightly presentation. An unclean restroom could mean no repeat business from guests. For a restaurant owner or manager, keeping the restrooms clean and in good condition needs to be a top priority and part of an overall health and safety plan for the establishment.
In many states and locales, there are specific restroom health and safety standards that are mandated for food service businesses. In fact, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) has created specific requirements for restroom cleaning and maintenance that many areas follow.
