Hygiene matters
The new design standards
Although restroom hygiene has always been a crucial part of public health, the pandemic has showed us why it’s so critical to control hygiene as best we can to mitigate the effects of viruses and bacteria.
We believe good design can address both hygiene and aesthetics with new technologies and materials.
Our hygiene solutions
ONE HUNDRED restrooms locations are designed for good hygiene. Ventilation, air humidity, antibacterial finishes, non touch technology and continuous cleaning are part of our standard offer.
Our latest innovations are primarily focused on the prevention of the transmission of viruses and bacteria.
The clean routine
Hygiene is the most important focus for public restroom operators like us to ensure customers have the best possible experience.
We have developed clear cleaning procedures to deliver on our promise, supported by detailed training programs, audits, manuals and sustainable cleaning products.
We don’t accept average as a standard.
Survey: new hygiene demands
To get a deeper understanding in changing customer attitudes ONE HUNDRED has initiated an online survey in 8 countries in December 2020. Followed by an additional study in Portugal in November 2021.
The main conclusion is that the offer of ONE HUNDRED with focus on health and hygiene matches the consumer needs more than ever.
