New Washroom Cleaner of the Year Awards introduced
New for 2017 - The Washroom Cleaner of the Year Awards have replaced the previous Attendant of the Year Awards and relate specifically to the dedicated cleaning staff that look after the facilities, rather than the washrooms themselves.
While the range of gradings and national Loo of the Year Awards and UK/Ireland trophies provide adequate recognition of the washrooms and their providers, it is the people who look after each facility - be they individual washroom cleaners, in-house cleaning teams or external cleaning/FM contractors, who also deserve recognition.
All cleaning staff will automatically be entered for Washroom Cleaner of the Year Awards for all entries that are declared as "Full time attended toilets" on the Entry Form. Judging will be completed at the same time as the Loo of the Year Awards inspection and any cleaning staff seen at the time of the unannounced visit are deemed to represent the whole cleaning team. There will be a number of Washroom Cleaner of the Year Award national winners in England, Scotland, Wales and Ireland and overall UK/Ireland trophies as follows:
INDIVIDUAL CLEANER NATIONAL AWARDS & TROPHY - will be presented to the cleaner(s) who in the opinion of the judges is performing a high quality "ambassadorial" role for the washroom provider in terms of appearance, attitude, commitment and efficiency.
IN-HOUSE CLEANING TEAM NATIONAL AWARDS &TROPHY - will be presented to the cleaning team employed by an washroom provider with multiple entries in Loo of the Year Awards who, in the opinion of the judges, are performing a high quality "ambassadorial" role for the washroom provider in terms of appearance, attitude, commitment and efficiency.
EXTERNAL CONTRACTOR CLEANING TEAM NATIONAL AWARDS & TROPHY - will be presented to the cleaning contractor company or organisation which, in the opinion of the judges, is providing a high level of service to one or more Loo of the Year Award entrants.
