Washroom Services

Washroom services cover a wide range of products and services designed to keep commercial bathrooms in a clean, safe, and hygienic state. These include everything from installation and refilling of soap dispensers, to ensuring hand dryers, air conditioning systems, and vending machines are stocked and working.

Providing, emptying, and disposing of waste in sanitary bins and any other bathroom bins is also a big part of washroom services. Washroom hygiene services cover baby changing facilities, disabled toilets, and any other type of commercial bathroom – whether it’s used by customers or employees.

Washroom hygiene in commercial bathrooms is incredibly important to stop harmful germs and bacteria spreading to other workplace areas. This helps protect the health of your employees, customers, and clients. Ensuring a hygienic business washroom also creates a pleasant environment that may boost staff morale and present a good impression for other users.

Regular cleaning, maintenance, and general upholding of high washroom hygiene standards also helps reduce running costs. This reduces the chance of costly and damaging toilet and sink blockages.

There’s no single UK regulation or legislation covering washroom waste. However, three of the main bits of legislation that regulate its storage and disposal, alongside other areas of washroom hygiene, are:

• The Workplace (Health, Safety and Welfare) Regulations 1992 – businesses must have appropriate measures in place for sanitary waste disposal in their bathrooms.
• The Water Industries Act 1991 – this covers the disposal of waste down the toilet, highlighting how appropriate bins must be available to prevent this and blockages.
• The Environmental Protection Act 1990 – key regulations that cover how any business has a responsibility for how they collect, store, and dispose of waste, including all washroom waste.
