At Your Option Services Ltd, we recognise that the standard of public conveniences and washroom facilities is a direct reflection of how your organisation is run. Whether you manage an office, a school, a healthcare facility, a retail space, or a public convenience, washrooms play an essential role in shaping perceptions of professionalism, safety, and care for both staff and visitors.

Beyond reputation, maintaining clean and well-stocked washrooms is also a legal obligation. Under the Workplace (Health, Safety and Welfare) Regulations 1992, employers are required to provide suitable and sufficient sanitary conveniences, with adequate ventilation, lighting, and ongoing cleanliness. This means ensuring access to hot and cold running water, soap or suitable washing agents, toilet tissue, and effective hand-drying facilities at all times.

Why Washroom Standards Matter

A poorly maintained washroom can damage staff morale, create health risks, and undermine customer confidence. Conversely, clean, safe, and properly stocked facilities demonstrate a genuine commitment to wellbeing and can foster loyalty among employees and visitors alike. In many ways, your washroom is not just a functional space — it’s a measure of how much you value the people who use it.

Best Practice for Washroom Management

Maintaining workplace washrooms requires dedicated resourcing, robust processes, and the right tools. At Your Option, a member of the British Toilet Association (BTA), we ensure that:

• Washrooms are inspected regularly, with high-traffic areas checked hourly and deep-cleaned daily.
• Specialist cleaning products are used to disinfect surfaces, minimise odours, and reduce the risk of bacteria or viruses.
• Records of cleaning and checks are displayed for transparency.
• Washrooms and public conveniences adhere to all Health & Safety 1992 regulations.

Key areas of focus include floors, toilets, basins, taps, handles, dryers, baby changing facilities, and product dispensers — with attention given not only to visible cleanliness but also to underlying hygiene.

Supplies and Essentials

A well-maintained washroom relies on more than just cleaning — it requires consistent supply management. Our approach ensures:

• Continuous access to consumables such as toilet tissue, paper towels, soap, and sanitary products.
• Proper sanitary disposal services, in line with duty of care regulations.
• Air quality management through adequate ventilation and odour control solutions.
• Environmentally responsible products, aligned with our ISO 14001 certification and government buying standards.

Specialist Considerations

Some facilities require enhanced attention:

• Baby changing units are disinfected rigorously to minimise risks from bacteria.
• Men’s washrooms are proactively managed to prevent uric acid and limescale build-up in urinals, avoiding costly blockages.
• Accessibility needs are always factored in, ensuring inclusivity and compliance with regulations.
