PROJECT COC

(Cleanliness on Comfort rooms)

1. Introduction

Rationale

According to GCA Services Group comfort rooms are such high-traffic public areas that it is
very easy for germs to spread. A study shows 95 percent of people believe comfort room cleaning
has an impact on overall public health by helping to prevent diseases from spreading. A regular
cleaning, disinfecting, and sanitizing routine can reduce the likelihood of spreading dangerous
bacteria and viruses, which, in turn, can help prevent students, faculties, and visitors from
becoming ill. However, cleaning tools and equipment can become contaminated, so it is important
to use clean or ready-to-use disposable cloths, sponges, and mops to reduce cross-contamination.
Properly cleaning, disinfecting, and sanitizing restrooms can prevent the spread of many common
illnesses, including norovirus, the inflammation of the stomach or intestines, which can lead to
stomach pain, nausea, and vomiting. Influenza, a respiratory illness that infects the nose, throat, and
lungs. When not properly maintained, comfort rooms can become a problem to clean because stains
and dirt can quickly build up. If cleaned correctly, comfort rooms can avoid problems, such as rust
stains and mold on the floors, sinks, and toilets, which can result in having to replace these fixtures
sooner than normal. Regular cleaning and maintenance can save valuable time and money.

The data gathered by the proponents of this project in Pototan National Comprehensive High
School (PNCHS), wherein the proponents distributed survey forms to the president of each
classroom wherein 60% of it are females and 40% are males, the survey form consists of 10
questions relevant to the project. According to the data, 30% were comfortable and satisfied in
using one of the comfort rooms in Pototan National Comprehensive High School (PNCHS) while
70% of the students were not because of lack of water to use, no cleaning tools, and no hygiene kits.
The team concludes that most of the comfort rooms Pototan National Comprehensive High School
(PNCHS) were dirty and not sanitized. We all know that every school must reach the goal of
satisfying the needs of every student. Pototan National Comprehensive High School (PNCHS) was
constructed years ago, the problem here was the comfort rooms of every building were fragmented
included the toilet bowls that were clogged, the tap that were damaged, trash bins that were
uncovered, no cleaning materials, no light bulbs, there is no supply of toilet papers, soap and
sanitary napkins and unpleasant odors. In order to give a better facility for the students of Pototan
National Comprehensive High School (PNCHS) the proponents came up to this kind of project in
beautifying every comfort room in the school and provide a hygiene kit that includes the toilet
paper, alcohol, hand soap and sanitary napkins and also the cleaning tools that includes the pail,
dipper, powder soap, bowl cleanser, mops, plunger and a cleaning brush.
