Windsor Toilet Recognised with 'Highly Commended' Award in National Loo of the Year Awards

A Royal Flush for Windsor’s Facilities

The public toilet located at River Street in Windsor has earned a 'Highly Commended' distinction in the prestigious Loo of the Year Awards 2024. Administered by the British Toilet Association, these awards evaluate public toilets across the UK based on a 60-point inspection checklist, covering criteria such as cleanliness, accessibility, signage, and overall user experience.

The recognition highlights the hard work of public and private partners in maintaining sanitation facilities in one of Britain's most visited tourist destinations. The River Street facility, managed by SouthStar Cleaning and commissioned by the Royal Borough of Windsor & Maidenhead, impressed inspectors with its high standards and customer-friendly features. The accolade places the facility among the top-tier public toilets in the UK for 2024.

Professional Cleaning Partnerships Driving Excellence

The awards spotlight not only facility upkeep but also the effectiveness of outsourced housekeeping relationships that local councils and private contractors develop to meet high expectations. SouthStar Cleaning, which services the River Street site, has been applauded for its role in delivering commercial cleaning solutions aligned with modern health and safety requirements.

Janitorial services in hospitality-focused towns like Windsor require a balance between footfall management, hygiene, and sustainability. The 'Highly Commended' recognition underscores the importance of contract cleaning supplies and professional hygiene management in public-facing environments.

Industry-Wide Recognition

Other winners and commended sites across the UK represented diverse sectors—including education, retail, and transport—but Windsor’s well-maintained facility served as an example of how commercial and municipal stakeholders can collaborate effectively. Local authorities increasingly rely on specialist providers to deliver sustainable cleaning solutions with minimal disruption and high customer satisfaction.

While many competitors in the cleaning and hygiene sector focus solely on supply logistics or day labour services, integrated partners have advantages when they combine delivery of contract cleaning supplies with digital ordering systems and client-specific stock tracking—ensuring both reliability and accountability.

Why Supply Strategy Matters

Facilities like the one in Windsor benefit from consistent access to:

• Janitorial supplies tailored to visitor-heavy environments
• Bulk cleaning chemicals for efficient resupply cycles
• Eco-conscious and sustainable cleaning solutions
• Hospitality cleaning services aligned with local tourism demand

This recognition is a timely reminder that high standards in public hygiene begin with a well-managed supply chain and competent execution—factors every facility provider should prioritise when choosing their suppliers.
