A well-kept and clean premises inspires trust among restaurant guests. Clean floors, a fresh smell and well-kept toilets can make a customer decide to eat there rather than leave before reading the menu.
According to a report prepared by Tork, 90% of respondents believe that if the restaurant toilet is dirty, the kitchen will be the same. It is therefore necessary that potential customers visiting our premises have no doubts about its cleanliness and compliance with hygiene rules. The toilet in a restaurant is, next to delicious food, a must-have. If kept clean, it builds a positive opinion about the entire premises.
A proper toilet cleaning system in restaurants is essential
In catering facilities, i.e. places where there is a large gathering of people every day, keeping the toilet clean requires an appropriate cleaning system. In such a system, we can distinguish three levels of toilet cleaning, each of which takes place at a different time of operation. We can distinguish between basic cleaning, thorough cleaning and ongoing service. Basic cleaning involves cleaning up everyday dirt before or after opening the facility. Deep cleaning is periodic work to remove difficult dirt that cannot be removed during basic cleaning. There is also ongoing service, i.e. removal of current dirt and replenishment of hygiene products.
Selection of chemicals for cleaning
Once we have a cleaning system in place, we need to select the appropriate chemicals so as not to damage the cleaned surface. In stores we can find a very large variety of materials used to finish rooms and their equipment. In sanitary rooms, we mainly use acid-resistant materials, such as ceramic, granite, porcelain tiles, etc.
In addition to acid-resistant materials, we also have quite a large number of materials that we must be careful with when using acid-based preparations. These include: marble, joints, terrazzo or varnished elements. For elements made of delicate materials, use products with a pH of at least 3. Also remember to rinse well with running water. Choosing the right cleaning products for the surface to be cleaned can not only save us damage and money, but also make the next cleaning process easier.
Water scale removal
Products that are very effective in removing water scale, rust and limescale are Clinex W3 Forte. Clinex W3 Multi, Clinex W3 Active Shield and Clinex W3 Bacti. Clinex W3 Forte is a ready-to-use preparation, recommended for thorough cleaning of acid-resistant surfaces. Removes heavy dirt and eliminates urine odors. Clinex W3 Multi is a concentrate in the form of a gel, which makes it very good for cleaning toilet bowls, urinals and bidets, which is facilitated by a special tip. After dilution, it can also be used to clean floors and joints. Clinex W3 Active Shield deserves special attention.

It is intended for cleaning surfaces, rooms and sanitary facilities.
