Keeping Public Restrooms Clean with Rubber Mulch
You can hold it in as long as you want. But if you gotta go, you gotta go. And don’t you just hate it that you HAVE to go in public? There are a lot of things wrong with how establishments handle their restrooms. Public toilets are there for people to use; otherwise it’s just a waste of money and space. On behalf of the general public, here are 3 simple tips for property managers. Make sure to leave your suggestions in the comments section.
1. Place rubber mulch around leak-prone areas
Most leaks spring up unexpected, sometimes even during the dead hours of the night when there’s nothing anyone can do. Installing rubber mulch strips near pipes will help contain the water within the area. It’s easy to cut rubber mulch into strips, without lessening the absorption capacity of each rubber granule.
2. Install rubber mulch strips by the sink and outside the restroom
The hand dryer is usually conked out. Using paper towels just adds unnecessary trash. Most people just shake off the water then wipe their hands on their jeans. Water left on the floor spreads dirty shoe tracks and increases the risk of slipping. Having a single rubbermulch strip run along the hand-washing area is an efficient way to keep restrooms clean and safe.
3. Install rubber mulch strips along urinal rows
Bars and restaurants listen up. Besides having rubber mulch in your kitchen, you can also install rubber mulch strips in the men’s bathroom. It does get a little ugly in there after happy hour. Installing rubber mulch strips along the urinal row will save your staff a lot of time and effort when cleaning up, and it protects tipsy patrons from themselves as rubber mulch is also widely used in athletics and the military to lessen impact injuries.
