Tips
O+M Tips
- Use cleaning chemicals and solutions that are Green Seal certified
- A two-step process should generally be used if cleaning with antimicrobial products. Clean first and then apply the disinfectant. Wait the recommended time before rinsing (usually at least 10 minutes); perform other tasks while waiting for the antimicrobial to take effect. Most disinfectants are not cleaners, and are usually only effective on a clean surface.
End of Life Tips
- If in good condition, toilets can be donated to organizations like Habitat for Humanity that will reuse them.
- To recycle old toilets visit Earth 911 http://earth911.com/ to determine the capacity of local facilities.
