You may have heard that a clean restroom reflects well on a business, and a dirty restroom can leave a bad impression. But is that true?
The answer is resounding YES! A survey of 2,000 people done a few years ago shows that restroom sanitation is extremely important for your business. Here are a few rather shocking statistics:
- 29% said they would never reterun to a restaurant with an unclean/unsanitary restroom
- 50% of respondents said they would tell friends/family about an experience with an unsanitary/unclean restaurant restroom
- 46% said they would avoid going to a restaurant based on what they had heard from others regarding the lack of sanitation of the bathrooms
Now, you may be thinking, “Sure, but I don’t run a restaurant, what does these statistics have to do with my business?” The answer is: everything.
Similar statistics are likely to be found if a similar survey was conducted for any niche or industry. The fact of the matter is, your business can be judged by the state of your restrooms.
Things like:
- Overflowing toilets
- Unpleasant odors
- Dirty/slippery floors
- Lack of toiletpaper
- Lack of hand soap
- Broken toilet paper/paper towel dispensers
- And more
Can negatively impact your visitors experience. By taking some simple precautions and ensuring that your restroom is welcoming and sanitary for guests, you can be sure you won’t scare them away.
