president The RAS, Restroom Association (Singapore) has awarded 15 preschools and schools the World Toilet Day Commemoration Fund (WTDCF) for organising activities in October and November to commemorate World Toilet Day (WTD).

Santoemma RESTROOM Cleaning and Sanitizing Program

Cleaning and sanitizing of public restrooms are a serious problem worldwide, which is still to find 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 concrete results. It is finally possible to reach a higher level in restroom hygiene, increased productivity and achieve a higher fulfilment of the cleaning operators.
