We are heartened to receive the continued support from the National Environment Agency (NEA) for our Happy Toilet Programme (HTP). All 25 market and food centres managed by the NEA and 20 of its office toilets have actively participated in our HTP. With the recent addition of Happy Toilets in their myENV mobile application app which has since garnered more than 100,000 downloads for its Android app, we foresee more building owners will see the positive branding and publicity they stand to gain from participating in our HTP.

Santoemma RESTROOM Cleaning and Sanitizing Program

Cleaning and sanitizing of public restrooms is a serious problem worldwide, which has not found yet an optimal solution. Cleaning means removing the visible dirt from all surfaces, while sanitizing means removing not only visible dirt, but also invisible elements like bacteria, which can be responsible for disease transmission. This means that even after cleaning, a truly clean washroom should be periodically sanitized.

Santoemma RESTROOM Cleaning and Sanitizing Program provides innovative and patented systems for cleaning and sanitizing public restrooms of any type and size. By using specially designed machines, instead of manual work only, restrooms are completely cleaned and sanitized in a short time, with excellent and granted results. It is finally possible to reach a higher level in restroom’s hygiene, increase productivity and have a higher fulfilment of the cleaning operators.
