Nominees Wanted for America’s Best Restroom Contest

April 14, 2021

Cintas Corp. is accepting nominations for its 20th annual America’s Best Restroom® Contest.

Established by Cintas in 2002, the award program honors nonresidential, publicly accessible restrooms that place hygiene and style at the top of their priority list and recognize the parallel between clean restrooms and customer retention. Entries will be judged on cleanliness, visual appeal, innovation, functionality, and unique design elements. The deadline for nominations is June 18.

Ten finalists will be announced in July, at which time online voting for the winning restroom will begin on Cintas’ website. The winner and runners-up will be announced in late fall, and the most popular entries will be enshrined in Cintas’ America’s Best Restroom Contest Hall of Fame. The grand prize winner will also receive a Cintas UltraClean® restroom cleaning along with US$2,500 worth of facility services.

“Due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, the public’s expectations for clean, well-maintained public restrooms are higher than ever,” said Sean Mulcahey, Cintas marketing manager. “Being named an America’s Best Restroom contest finalist demonstrates your business’ commitment to providing customers with a safe and clean restroom experience. Hygiene is king and we hope the public can help us identify facilities that are taking safety, cleanliness and hygiene to another level.”
