Red Robin (Glendale Galleria)



The automated paper towel dispenser is a big plus to give Red Robin a good score for hygiene. Very well kept rooms and the use of aluminum materials as sections adds to the nice and clean look. 9 out of 10.

Coco's Pasadena (Lake and Union)



Despite the busy traffic of this restaurant, the staff were able to maintain cleanliness and orderliness of their bathroom. The soap dispenser is always full and toilet papers are well-kept. 9 out of 10 for Coco's.

Home Depot (Flower St. in Glendale)


Just as I entered the bathroom, this is what I see. Not a good sight. Considering this establishment has all the tools to make a home clean, they can't keep up with that standard. Much can be said but Home Depot can make it better. 8 out of 10.

Jack in the Box (Glenoaks and Grandview in Glendale)


Jack in the Box employees did a very good job on keeping their bathroom clean and orderly. A well-placed information of how to use the hand dryer, cleaning records and properly filled-up soap dispenser is very pleasing. 9 out of 10.

Bathroom Hygiene Guide Tips

Maintaining Bathroom Cleanliness with Houseguests

Houseguests can make for some interesting cleaning situations. Bathroom cleanliness is especially hard to maintain if you are having multiple guests. There are some ways that you can help them keep the bathroom cleaner during their stay. Here are a few.
• Provide a hamper for dirty clothes. If you can give your guests a place to put their used towels and clothing, there is little chance that your shower curtain will end up looking like an old fashioned laundry sheet.
• Pre-clean. Before your guests arrive, give the bathroom a good overall cleaning. Bathroom cleanliness is much easier to maintain when you are working from a ‘clean slate' to start with.
• Floor mats. Using floor mats in from of your sink and shower will save you from a much harder floor cleaning job once your guests have departed. Spillage from the shower and sink combined with feet can make for some dirty floors.
Bathroom cleanliness does not have to be a cumbersome proposal when hosting houseguests. Take these small steps and you will find your job at the end of the week or weekend is much easier.

Preventing Bathroom Germs From Spreading

With what goes on in a bathroom, germs can build up over short amounts of time. If you want to prevent bathroom germs from becoming living room or bedroom germs, there are a few simple things you can do to help, a brief bathroom hygeine guide if you will.
First, keep your bathroom clean on a regular basis. We are talking about deep cleaning here and not just wiping the counters. The bacteria and other bathroom germs that accumulate do not stay on the easy to get surfaces. They get into the nooks and cracks of your counters, toilets, and sinks and nothing short of a deep cleaning will do to remove them.
Also, you can help the problem by using an antibacterial cleaner when you regularly wipe down your sinks and shower. These cleaners contain chemicals that can kill bathroom germs effectively.
Combining deep cleaning with the use of antibacterial cleaners will keep bathroom germs to a minimum and, at least, keep them in the bathroom.
To control the spread of germs and other harmful elements in public restrooms, disposable toilet seat covers are a great solution. Nobody wants to think about the last person to have sat on the same toilet seat, and with toilet seat covers, you don't have to.
These ingenious paper products are cut to the form of a typical toilet seat. The creative dispensers that they are stored in make it simple for anyone wishing to use one to get it set up in a snap. The sanitary benefits from these toilet seat covers are enormous. However, the fact that they are disposable by simply flushing them down the toilet when finished makes them also a marvel in efficiency.
These toilet seat covers are made of paper so thin that it disintegrates when flushed. Although sturdy and providing solid blockage between you and the seat, the thin paper will not clog a toilet once it is broken down into a fine pulp.
Arranging the paper may seem tricky at first. But the sanitary benefits of using toilet seat covers make the effort more than worth it.


A Few Tips on Good Bathroom Hygiene
If you are concerned about bathroom hygiene but don't know where to begin in setting new habit for yourself, here is a brief bathroom hygiene guide. Bathroom hygiene is easy to keep up with is you just change what you are doing a little bit.
First, keep your different cleaners separated. Keep your razors away from your toothbrushes. You don't want to be cleaning your teeth with hair and shaving cream stained toothpaste. Also, facial powder doesn't taste too good on dental floss, so keep makeup clear of everything else.
The main way towards good bathroom hygiene is simple – keep the bathroom clean. Use the many bathroom cleaners that are available for each area of your bathroom. Regular usage of these items will give you an overall more sterile environment and this is at the heart of bathroom hygiene. You wouldn't be practicing good bathroom hygiene if you set your toothbrush down on a dirty countertop.
Specific products are available for better bathroom hygiene. But if you want the basics, keep the area clean and your different toiletries separated.
