Restrooms always get a bad rap. Building service contractors (BSCs) who participated in CMM’s 2022 Building Service Contractor Benchmarking Survey listed restrooms as the most challenging area of a facility in regard to meeting user expectations. Among the survey respondents, 35% listed restrooms as the top area where they receive the most customer complaints.

The second most common answer was hard floor surfaces, with 27% saying this was the area that garnered the most complaints, followed by common/shared spaces, with 15% listed as their top problem area.

  • Disinfecting (97% of respondents offer this service)
  • Stripping/recoating hard floors (87%)
  • Carpet extraction/deep cleaning (84%)
  • Restroom supplies management (85%)
