According to Claire (2004), the teachers in that school make a brigada eskwela to improve the
cleanliness and improvement of the building. Comfort room is the one of the most important as
a part of the school. In the first place the comfort room was in a good condition and enough
water. Few days of class, because of undisciplined students the comfort became dirty and a lot
of vandalism of bad thoughts. One of the problems, some of girls is being irresponsible about
the proper disposal of their napkins etc.
"Bathroom cleanliness is far more important than a lot of establishments understand," says
Daniel Howard, Chairman of the Marketing Department at Southern Methodist University
(2009). "A host of research in the area of service quality and consumer behavior shows that the
physical attributes of a facility, including the cleanliness of restroom floors, counters, and
fixtures, has significant impact on people's perceptions of whether that business or
organization can meet their needs. That, in turn, has an effect on whether people will return
and do business with that organization again."
Further, dirty restrooms can trigger "anxiety and avoidance," according to Wade Rowatt,
Associate Professor of Psychology at Baylor University. Dirty restrooms "can serve as a cue that
an establishment is poorly managed or has a sloppy, unprofessional staff," he says.
Morrison (2014) there is cost-effective-and cost-saving-ways to have restrooms with
cleanliness. Traditional methods of restroom sanitation tend to be time consuming, labor
intensive, and physically stressful, Morrison says, requiring cleaning workers to kneel, crouch,
and bend. "And it's not very sanitary, either," he adds. "We now have studies that tell us that as
a cleaning cloth or mop gets used, it can spread as many contaminants as it removes."
Kennedy (2012) At a minimum, schools and universities need to provide comfort room that are
cleaned regularly to kill germs and prevent the spread of disease; that are outfitted with
fixtures and equipment that ward off the temptations of vandalism; and that allow for a level of
supervision that deters would-be bullies from using a restroom break to harass vulnerable
fellow students. In addition, facility managers looking to save energy and cut costs should seek
washroom designs that conserve water and rely less on artificial lighting. In addition to an
effective cleaning strategy, schools can fight the dissemination of germs by selecting the right
fixtures and equipment. Frequent and thorough hand washing is a critical step in trying to avoid
contact with germs, but even with regular washing, restroom users can pick up germs each time
they touch a door handle, a toilet-paper dispenser, a flush handle, a sink faucet, a soap
dispenser or a towel dispenser. Equipment that is triggered by motion or is time-controlled
enables students to use those fixtures without touching them.
Mike (2012), some older models of toilets uses 3.5 gallons per flush. Equipment now available
includes ultra-low-flow toilets, which use 1.6 gallons per flush, high-efficiency toilets that use
1.28 gallons per flush, and dual-flush toilets, which use 1.6 gallons to flush solid waste and 1.0
gallons to flush liquid waste .Many gallons of water also are wasted because of inefficient
urinals. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency says that 65 percent of the urinals in use in
the United States—7.9 million fixtures—exceed the federal standard of 1.0 gallon per flush for
commercial urinals. Some use as much as five times that amount.
RELATED STUDIES
The study conducted by G-10 Felipe Agoncillo students (2017) towards the maintenance of
school comfort rooms Sanitation in comfort rooms of public high schools is something that
many students can smell first before they can even be seen. Poor maintenance has become so
common—from the perpetually wet floors, dim lighting, broken cubicle doors, minimal
ventilation and malfunctioning toilets—that it ceases to bother them. The stench pierces
through the nose so strongly that it physically stops you in your tracks. Those who complain
can’t clearly be heard anymore because poor sanitary conditions are becoming less of a
concern. The recurring challenges that public high schools face include limited manpower who
can cover sanitation, and the lack of infrastructure to accommodate the number of students
who will be using comfort rooms. To circumvent this limitation, hygiene and health efforts are
instead directed to prevention. Schools also cope by reverting to influencing student behavior.
Research Methodology
This research is based on the method of direct survey to the Grade 10 in Candugay High School.
These are the research design, research respondents and research environment.
Research Design
The descriptive survey will be employed in this study. The researchers will use survey research
design, to collect information from the respondent as a technique of studies use to gather data
from a perspective on different subjects of concern. According to Bhat (2019) surveys have
different purpose and can be conducted in many ways based on the selected methodology and
the goals to be accomplished.
