Debis should be removed from the restroom floor, counters, stalls and dispensers. Residual liquids (water, soft drink spills, urine, etc.) on the floor must be attended to each time. Defects (sharp edges, stall partition damage, etc.) should be taken care of immediately. Toilets are cleaned, disinfected and thoroughly wiped down. The women's feminine waste receptacles are checked and cleaned each time. The men's urinals are cleaned, disinfected and thoroughly wiped down. Sinks, counters and faucets are all wiped down to eliminate water puddles. The baby changing tables are sprayed and wiped with disinfectant then water. The restroom may be deodorized, but odor prevention via disinfectant is suggested before using deodorizers. Toilet tissue, seat covers, paper towels, feminine products and soap are all checked and stocked each time. Water spots and finger prints are removed from all stainless steel fixtures (soap dispensers, towel dispensers, etc.) with a towel and water. Mirrors are all cleaned with a towel and water. Waste receptacles are emptied depending on the size and estimated fill rate (so it won't overflow before they can get back to it). The floor is mopped if there are residual liquids or the floor is dirty. Our friend Jason sent us a list of the bathrooms as they appeared on a souvenir wall map from 1959: 1. City Hall 2.
