with a dirty restroom.
Store Outside – Be sure that
the sidewalk which leads customers to the store is clean and free of
debris. In case your store is located in a high traffic area, ensure
that the windows and doors are dirt free.
Rugs in the Store –
It is common for the rugs to be neglected in Laundromats. Rugs which
are dirty might spoil the entire environment.

enough. Also make sure that the ceiling does not have any dirt or
debris on it.
Signs – The signs in the
store must be in good working condition, and they must be legible.
Inform Employees - Your

condition and should be impeccably clean.
