1. Cleaning Restrooms and Shower Rooms,
Where “Germs” Are
The Primary Concern
CWM/Hillyard

2. The Importance Of Clean Restrooms
Public perception
Barometer of overall building cleanliness.
Public health inspectors may close facility
Caulking - cracked or missing
Floors - corners, drains, under & around fixtures
Fixtures - hard water crust - not working
No soap / paper
Walls - under & around fixtures
Breeding ground
Bacteria, viruses, fungi & odors
To protect the health of occupants

3. Sources of Building Complaints

4. A Clean Restroom Will Have No Odors
Clean Restrooms have a Neutral Odor
Not fragrances covering malodors – zero / neutral

5. “Start Clean To Stay Clean”
RESTROOM RENOVATION
“Start Clean To
Stay Clean”
Restroom Renovation
The first strategy of modern restroom maintenance is to “Start Clean to Stay Clean.” A clean, renovated restroom is much easier to keep clean on a daily basis. Renovation can usually be accomplished with just two products: Hillyard Extra Strength CSP cleaner and one of our disinfectant cleaners. Most of our disinfectant cleaners are neutral cleaners that disinfect as they clean. All are EPA registered and control mold, mildew, athlete’s foot fungi, germs and the odors they cause.

6. T.A.C.T. Principle For products to work effectively, they need: Time
Time to penetrate and loosen soils
Agitation
Soils won’t disappear without assistance
Concentration
Correct dilution
Temperature
Most products formulated for cold water only

7. How Disinfectants Work
Disinfection occurs only if the solution is at the correct dilution.
Disinfectants lose effectiveness in relation to the amount of foreign matter suspended in the solution. “… In the presence of 5% serum…”
Take time to work
100% kill = 10 min.

8. How Do Disinfectants Work?
Sanitizers
Reduces the Number of Bacterial Contaminates to Safe Levels
Clean water and a clean cloth will sanitize a surface
Disinfectants
Agents that eliminate (kill) microorganisms

9. How Disinfectants Work
Phenolics: Work by disrupting cell membranes and denaturing proteins
Disadvantages: irritating to skin; can cause skin depigmentation, irritating to nose and throat, toxic, dangerous to infants, poor water solubility, may discolor or otherwise damage surfaces with which they come in contact.
Some states consider discarded phenolic compounds to be hazardous waste

10. How Disinfectants Work
Quat-based disinfectants carry a positive charge. Bacteria, viruses and fungi carry a negative charge. When a bacteria-laden surface is sprayed or mopped with a disinfectant, the charge distribution of the bacteria cell changes from negative to positive. This results in the disruption of the bacteria cell wall and eventual death to the microbe.

11. How Disinfectants Work
Hypochlorites (Bleach) do not work well in the presence of soils, so surfaces must be pre-cleaned.
Highly caustic to skin and surfaces.
Highly reactive with other chemicals that easily release toxic gasses.
The odor is so strong when diluted correctly, that most people tend to use less than necessary for complete disinfection
Degrades quickly when diluted, exposed to air, or light.
