"Tips to Make the Restroom Green and Healthy"

For the sake of the world, and all the resources that are being drained from it, many people are turning to eco friendly products to try to sustain what is left in the world. With this in mind, Microfiber cleaning cloths along with other materials are being used so that less water is being used. Paper towel dispensers and automatic soap dispensers are just two more products that can be used for saving on these resources.

For hand drying products, machines that give out just the right amount of drying materials features very prominently in the ecologically sound handbook. Less is wasted, there will be less used product to clean up, and less to dispose of thereby creating savings all round.

For washing facilities, it is much better to have a machine which doles out only the right amount of liquid for cleansing. Again, this costs much less for the facility and will help to save on the resource. People are renowned for wasting anything that is free, so those small amounts which come out automatically take away the problem of over usage or waste.

Floor and surface mops and squares made out of fiber save so much on chemicals and water. Indeed, they are also much safer since some are impregnated with anti bacterial materials to wipe out almost all bacteria, mold and yeast spores on surfaces. The mops and squares themselves also do not get any growth on them like normal sponges so there will be no smell or cross contamination.

For hardwood or unfinished wood floors, there really is no need to use water or chemicals at all. A fiber dry mop is all that is needed to pick up all the dust or debris and saves a great deal of money on chemicals and water. It is also safer to use since no one could slip on a dry floor. This is particularly good for gym floors as well.

Of course, it is not only in public restrooms that cleanliness is important. Even in homes bathrooms should be kept bacteria free to alleviate the risk of stomach infections for the family. The most ignored part of any bathroom that everyone forgets to wipe down with an anti bacterial wipe is the door handles and toilet flush handle. These spread germs faster than anything else in the house so it is important that they get wiped down on a regular basis.

Tile grouting can also harbor all kinds of nasty germs and microbes so it is important to scrub them well at regular intervals. Because of the moisture and humidity present in these rooms, mold and fungus find these small crevices very good breeding grounds and will spread prolifically.

One last thing to remember, particularly for children, is that they often forget to wash their hands after using the facility or when they are on road trips. Wet wipes are a good standby in this situation. Try to get good habits started very early in life so that this will continue into adulthood.
