About the Award America's Best Restroom, presented by Cintas It is a very private experience that happens in public places all over the world. Whether at a restaurant or a rest area, a high-rise office building or a "nice clean gas station," everyone at some point makes use of public facilities. The reality is that public restrooms matter to the public. The way a business or building treats its facilities is a reflection of its operating standards. In one recent survey, more than 75% of respondents said they would not return to a restaurant if the restrooms were not well kept. In the face of statistics like this, we felt it was worth giving credit where credit is due. At this site we are honoring companies and organizations who go above and beyond the call of duty to present a pleasant, even memorable experience in a public restroom. Please share your experiences, vote, and be sure to check back whenever you find “a nice, clean gas station” so we know where to bring our business.
