Clogged toilets, overflowing trash, and smelly bathrooms aren’t just unpleasant—they’re costly. Poor restroom maintenance can damage your reputation, strain your staff, and even drive customers away.
According to the 2025 Healthy Handwashing Survey, a record-breaking 76% of Americans had a negative public restroom experience this year. And nearly 60% say they’ll leave or avoid returning to a business if the restroom is dirty or disorganized.
Clean restrooms aren’t a luxury; they’re a business strategy.
Menstrual Waste Disposal: A Hidden Restroom Risk
What’s behind those poor experiences?
- Clogged or unflushed toilets (reported by 85%)
- Overflowing trash cans
- Broken stall doors or a lack of privacy
Overflowing or unlined bins lead to visible waste, health hazards, and unpleasant odors, which create an unpleasant experience for guests and unsanitary conditions for your staff. When there’s no clear, clean, or easy way to dispose of period products, people flush them, clogging toilets and impacting water systems.
In short, when you don’t provide a proper way to dispose of period products, you create a sanitation, plumbing, and reputation problem.
