Reduce the hygiene risks in your washroom

Washroom hygiene requires round the clock sanitation that can effectively prevent the spread of harmful bacteria. Washrooms that are not sanitised properly become cross-contamination hotspots that will quicken the spread of illness in your business, and create a negative impression for your company. By engaging Initial’s Washroom Hygiene services to complement your cleaning services, you can be assured of professional and dependable solutions that can help you reduce the hygiene risks in your washroom.
