A recent survey of more than 1,000 adults ages 18 and

older revealed that 94 percent would avoid a business

in the future if they encountered dirty restrooms.

According to Cintas Corporation, commissioners of the

survey, when asked what specific types of businesses

participants would avoid if they encountered dirty

restrooms, adults reported the following:

• Restaurants - 79 percent

• Hotels - 79 percent

• Health Care Facilities - 77 percent

• Supermarkets - 50 percent

• Retail Stores - 45 percent

• Gas Stations - 45 percent

• Car Dealerships - 39 percent

To satisfy customers, businesses must ensure

restrooms are consistently stocked, clean, dry and

functioning,” explained Dave Mesko, Senior Director of

Marketing, Cintas.

As noted in the 2011 Tork Report: Healthy People,

Healthy Planet, cross-contamination prevention is

increasingly important as it is estimated that 325,000

hospitalizations and 5,000 deaths per year stem from

foodborne illness. According to the Centers for Disease

Control, 34 percent of foodborne illnesses can be

traced back to the hands of foodservice employees.

“The foodservice industry in its entirety should be

vigilant about monitoring hygiene practices in their

facilities and encouraging owners to provide valuable

training in this area with all employees,” said Tork

Green Hygiene Council member and assistant

professor of clinical laboratory science at Saint Louis

University, Donna Duberg. “Foodborne illness

continues to be a concern and prevention is the key to

keeping germs and the health inspector at bay.”

Foodservice operators should expand the focus on

hygiene from the kitchen throughout the entire

restaurant, including the dining room and restrooms. To

help ace health inspections and win the trust of

patrons, who are also judging the cleanliness of a

restaurant with a critical eye, Duberg and SCA offer the

following tips and product solutions.

Open napkin dispensers and containers invite customers

to take too many napkins causing excess waste and

increasing the risk of cross-contamination. To alleviate

this issue, provide one-at-a-time dispensers, such as the

Tork Xpressnap, so customers only take and touch what

they need, cutting down on messes and preventing

contamination of clean napkins.

Cloth towels may not sanitize surfaces effectively and

are often over-used to clean multiple surfaces in the

back and front of the house, potentially creating a risk

for foodborne illnesses. Easy-to-use Tork color-coded

foodservice wipers prevent cross contamination by

ensuring the right wipers are always used for the right

tasks.

Poorly placed, levered soap and paper towel dispensers

in restrooms increase chances of cross-contamination

due to handling of levers after hand washing. Touch-

free dispensers, like Tork Elevation dispenser systems,

increase efficient and effective hygiene, reduce waste

through control consumption and help ensure hands stay

clean.

Educational sessions; that train employees on food

safety issues; should incorporate proper hygiene

practices such as those for washing and drying their

hands. The development of these preventative initiatives

should be a collaborative effort between management

and staff.

Hand sanitizing stations – such as a Tork Automatic

Touch-Free dispenser – in entryways and waiting areas

will help cut down on the germs brought in by patrons.

For more than 11 years, SJH Greensteam has

specialized in residential, commercial and

industrial cleaning using vapor steam. Vapor

steam cleaning is today’s Extreme Green

Cleaning – No chemical use. Vapor steam’s eco-

friendly technology cleans, disinfects and

deodorizes surfaces without chemicals on contact:

bathrooms, kitchens, floors, and windows,

including the most stubborn, greasy dirt from

places that are difficult to reach small holes,

crevices, and grooves.

Most of us have become accustomed to using a

considerable number of cleaning products

intended for specific rooms, surfaces and

materials in homes, offices, and other workplaces.

Only with the evolution of “Green” thinking have

we begun to recognize the effects of this blend of

toxic chemicals have on our health, as well as the

health of our environment.

Advances in Chemical Free Cleaning technology

allow plain tap water to be ionized, ozone-

instilled, and hyper-heated, empowering the water

more effective and efficient than many cleaning

chemicals and solutions.

SJH GreenSteam offers the latest in steam

equipment to meet and exceed your high

standards of cleanliness and building appearance.

We have been one of the leading providers of

vapor steam cleaning for businesses of all sizes in

the DFW Metroplex. We are an official

distributor of Tecnovap Vapor Steam Machines.
