Restroom Care: No Longer Here Just to Sweep and Mop

Company Website

Building service contractor Darryl Lawson has always been perplexed by the lack of measurement after restroom cleaning. He would ask himself, “Clean compared to what?” because Lawson knew that appearances could be deceiving.

For example, Lawson had visited an indoor soccer facility where he was told the restrooms, while visually clean, harbored an odor that could not be eliminated. He knew that the residual odor was sensory evidence of bacterial contamination.

With a KaiVac® No-Touch Cleaning™ system and ATP meter, Lawson performed a demonstration for a manager, who was so impressed he contacted the building owner to review the results.  

“The owner came and looked at the restroom an hour after the deep cleaning,” says Lawson. “A week later, they hired me to supplement their traditional cleaning with a periodic deep cleaning service for their restrooms.”

Today, Lawson’s deep cleaning services are well-received by the in-house cleaning staff. According to Lawson, “I’m not here to just sweep and mop. When I clean, it’s to hygienically clean surfaces, eliminate odors, and remove dangerous microbes from [the] environment.”
