Restroom Respect Should Include Common Courtesy

As a commercial janitorial and building maintenance service provider, Allen Maintenance Inc., is called to conduct inspections of restrooms. Too often, during these inspections, the women’s rest room, is found un-kept; toilet paper is thrown on the floor, with blood and feces displayed; water is splattered on sinks and vanity mirrors. Even worse, trash cans are packed with unwrapped tampons; causing a stench that evokes rest room users to gag.

Such findings require stringent sanitation applications- to help eliminate the spread of germs and bacteria that can develop into such things as staph bacteria, commonly connected to: toxic shock syndrome. (www.mayoclinic.org) In fact, the Mayo Clinic conveys, leaving tampons around too long, is a breeding ground for staph bacteria.  And because, some staph infections are not responding to some forms of antibiotics, it is important women practice respect for other women and cleaning companies, who are required to clean up behind them.  

This simple act of rest room courtesy, can help protect many from contracting bacteria borne sicknesses such as staph infection. However, writing articles about this doesn’t necessarily provide enough details and incentive to evoke readers’ to take responsibility.

Another horrible concern for restroom courtesy, is making sure you wipe the toilet seat down before and after, you use it. Too often, women tend to hover over toilet seats, in an effort to avoid sitting in the waste of someone, who, too, neglected to meet the demands of rest room courtesy.  Yet as adults, this form of respect, is important to honor.

Therefore, Allen Maintenance Inc. would like to ask your help in determining: how can we encourage others’ to honor rest room courtesy?

After all, Allen Maintenance Inc., has concluded that rest room courtesy is learned and adhered too, by those who have self-respect, not just for others’. In fact, over the last 25 years of professional cleaning and building maintenance, Allen Maintenance Inc. professionally trained staff, has found some alarming rest room issues, that shouldn’t be discussed in a Blog article-Ugh!

But in this case, one thing is for sure: pulling your attention to adhering to rest room respect and common courtesy, is something that can be done in a dignified way.

After all, professionalism, is a common courtesy that is taught. And in order for it to become a natural way of habit, one must practice to respect self, before knowing how to respect others.
