Restroom checks and restocking that keep up all day.

Restroom checks and restocking, done right.

Nothing drives complaints like a restroom that’s out of supplies or needs attention by mid-morning. Regular restroom rounds solve it.

Our porters check every restroom on a set schedule: cleaning sinks, counters, mirrors and fixtures, restocking paper and soap, emptying bins and spot-cleaning floors, so restrooms stay right all day.

Restroom checks sit at the core of a porter route and pair naturally with trash runs and lobby upkeep.

Setting the round interval.

The interval is the whole game. Too few rounds and a restroom slides by mid-morning; too many and porter time goes to rooms nobody used. We set intervals restroom by restroom. The lobby restroom near a café in a downtown San Mateo office gets a pass every hour over lunch, while a restroom on a quiet upper floor gets fewer. In a Fremont or Hayward plant, rounds stack up right after shift changes. In a retail center they follow trading hours and the food court.

Watch for the tells: wet counters by 10 a.m., empty soap by noon, full bins after lunch. Each one points to the round that should move earlier. Our restroom check frequency guide walks through the patterns by building type.

How restroom checks are priced

We price restroom rounds as porter-hours on your route. The hours come from how many restrooms sit on the loop and how often each one gets a check, so a building that wants every restroom seen once an hour buys more porter time than one that checks every two hours. The hourly rate follows the same 2026 porter bands as the rest of the plan, laid out city by city in our porter pricing guide.

Fixture count and traffic drive the time. A two-stall restroom on a tenant floor takes a few minutes; a lobby restroom next to a food hall, or a locker room at shift change, takes far longer. Peaks matter too: rounds tightened around 9 a.m., noon and 3 p.m. cost less than tight intervals all day. Restocking paper, soap and seat covers and spot-cleaning floors add time, and so do long opening hours that run into the evening. On the walkthrough we count the restrooms, note your peak times and set the interval, then price it in the porter plan.
