Baby Changing Station Hygienic Best Practices

Public restrooms are an essential part of our daily lives, offering convenience and comfort during outings. For parents, the availability of baby changing stations can make a world of difference in ensuring their little one's needs are met. However, these often-overlooked amenities can become breeding grounds for germs and unpleasant experiences if not properly maintained. 

Here are some best practices to follow to help keep your facilities up to the standards expected by your patrons. 

Create a cleaning and sanitizing schedule

The best way to maintain a clean restroom and baby changing station is to monitor it with a regularly documented schedule. A day can quickly pass by without paying adequate attention to your restroom and the baby changing units. Neglect can lead to disgruntled parents or caretakers approaching staff with serious discontent if your station is left in disarray. 

To ensure that is not the case, have a schedule that sends staff in to check and clean your baby changing stations every few hours depending on the amount of traffic your business experiences. A regular cleaning schedule will help provide the hygienic level expected by your customers. 

Follow manufacturers’ cleaning instructions

When cleaning and sanitizing diaper changing stations, it is best to follow the cleaning instructions provided by the manufacturer. It is recommended to not use any strong chemical cleaners or cleaning agents that may be hazardous to children. Use a mild multi-purpose cleaning solution or make your own by mixing a gentle dishwashing soap with water. Apply the cleaning solution with a clean, lightly damp cloth and then rinse well with clean water using a soft, clean cloth, then dry all surfaces with a soft, dry cloth. 

Paying careful attention to your baby changing stations throughout the day will help keep both parents and their babies happy while spending some time at your establishment.

Extend the lifespan of your investments

Regular cleaning and maintenance can significantly extend the lifespan of baby changing stations. Stains and damage caused by neglect can accumulate over time, leading to costly replacements. A maintenance schedule should also be created to check for damaged hardware, loose joints, missing parts, or sharp edges. By implementing a cleaning and maintenance schedule, businesses can not only protect their investment and ensure the longevity of their equipment, but they can leave a positive impression on their customers.

Provide more than just a baby changing station

Wall Mounted Child Safety Seat

Installing wall mounted child safety seats in public restrooms provides a convenient and safe solution for parents and caregivers needing to visit the washroom with young children. These seats offer a secure and clean place to temporarily place a child while using the restroom facilities, preventing accidents, and ensuring that the child remains safe, within sight and reach.

Sanitary liners

Providing disposable sanitary liners for public washroom changing tables offers a practical solution to maintaining cleanliness and hygiene, as these liners provide a barrier between the changing surface and the baby. This not only prevents direct contact with a potentially unsanitary surface, but also helps contain any mess created during diaper changes. Disposable liners also ease the concerns of parents and caregivers who may be apprehensive about using public changing stations. This additional accommodation demonstrates a commitment to the well-being of families and safety of young children at an establishment.

Baby diaper kits

Supplying a diaper kit dispenser equipped with changing station diaper kits is a thoughtful initiative that can greatly benefit parents and caregivers. These kits typically include essentials like diapers, diaper cream, and baby wipes, providing an immediate and convenient solution for parents caught without these necessary supplies. This small but considerate gesture acknowledges the challenges of parenting in public spaces and reminds parents of a business’ inclusive and welcoming environment. 

Public washrooms are often judged by their cleanliness and their amenities, and when baby changing stations are well-maintained and clean, it reflects positively on the establishment. Parents and caretakers are more likely to revisit and recommend a place with a reputation for clean and well-equipped restrooms, and this can lead to increased foot traffic and business for restaurants, malls, and other public places.
