- 01Regular cleaning, proper ventilation, and routine disinfecting help reduce restroom odors. For persistent smells, professional odor control services eliminate odor-causing bacteria and neutralize odors at the source. Contact Fikes today and learn more about our residential and commercial restroom cleaning services.
- 02Clean: Remove dirt and debris, including those hard-to-reach areas that harbor germs and bacteria. An important step that is often neglected in the cleaning process is using the correct chemicals and tools for the job at hand. The restroom has different surfaces, such as mirrors, tiles, stainless steel, and porcelain. Each surface can be cleaned more efficiently with the proper chemical and procedure. This process is surface-level and does not eliminate all bacteria.Sanitize: Applying the correct chemicals to clean surfaces and destroy bacteria and viruses on the surface. After cleaning all those surfaces, often the most important step of sanitizing is overlooked. Correctly using an EPA-registered product that reduces the number of bacteria creates the safe environment your employees and customers deserve.
- 03Short answer – yes! Urinal screens are inserts that go on top of the drain in urinals. Small but mighty, urinal screens not only help to prevent plumbing issues, but they also help with odor control and prevent urine splash back. Did you know there is a physiological reason that dogs like to lift their legs and urinate on trees? It’s because the angle of their leg, as well as the rough texture of the bark, helps to reduce splash! Without some type of urinal screen, your business may suffer in several ways. Increased restroom odors may deter customers from visiting, urine splash onto pants can upset customers, and urine that splashes on the floors can build up and cause stains. Did you know that according to a study in 2019, about 1 million liters of urine is splashed from urinals onto the floor every day in the U.S. alone? Lastly, and the costliest reason, is preventing plumbing issues. Without a urinal screen, debris such as paper, gum, Zyns, and more may flush down your urinals, causing clogs and expensive repairs. Urinal screens are a simple way to improve the health and maintenance of your restrooms!
