10 Steps to Maintaining Sanitary Changing Stations

Our sanitary changing stations are easy to maintain. You’ll need only some basic housekeeping supplies and cleaning skills. The following is a ten-step process to guide you. Following these tips can help ensure that you always have sanitary changing stations on hand for your customers.

1. Gather the products you will need for the job. These should include an Environmental Protection Agency approved disinfectant, microfiber rags, an all-purpose detergent cleaner, and a nylon cleaning brush. For added safety, you should also have safety glasses, a wet floor sign, and latex gloves.
2. Close the restroom and allow yourself 10 to 15 minutes for maintaining your sanitary changing stations.
3. Open the station if it’s vertically or horizontally wall-mounted. Inspect it carefully to ensure proper function. The safety belt should lock and unlock easily, the door should swing silently on the built-in hinges, and the unit should open and close in a slow, controlled manner. Should one of your sanitary changing stations fail any of the above inspections, then close it and contact the manufacturer right away.
4. Clean your commercial diaper tables with the all-purpose detergent. While the detergent will not kill most germs, it will remove soil and other stain-causing substances that can give microorganisms a place to grow and reproduce.
5. Let the detergent sit for 30-60 seconds. You should spread the liquid around the interior and exterior of the diaper table by using either a nylon brush or microfiber rags.
6. Wipe off the detergent solution using microfiber rags. Next, apply the disinfectant spray. Use a generous amount to ensure complete coverage of the unit. Most disinfectants work best when mixed with water, so follow the directions that come with the product for best results.
7. Allow the disinfectant to dry on the changing table without wiping it off. You can tend to other housekeeping duties in the restroom while the disinfectant is drying.
8. Once the disinfectant has dried, inspect your sanitary changing stations once more to ensure that they are clean and function properly.
9. If you have completed the other housekeeping duties for the restroom, then you can reopen the facility for public use and move on to other chores.
10. Take note of any reports from employees or customers regarding the functioning or condition of your sanitary changing stations. Should any of your stations fail to perform correctly, then label it “out of use” right away and contact the manufacturer for warranty service.

As you can see, maintaining sanitary changing stations is neither complex nor expensive. You only need basic products and a little time to ensure your new commercial diaper tables are clean and safe for public use.
