If you’ve ever found it difficult to locate a public restroom or
been disgusted by the condition of one, your frustration may soon
be over. Cintas Corporation (NASDAQ: CTAS), a leader in facility
services, today introduced Where to Wee (W2W), a free iPhone and
Android mobile phone application that allows users to find public
restrooms in their vicinity and rate them based on their
cleanliness.
“We have all been in a situation where we’ve really needed to go
to the restroom and did not know where to go,” said Staci Farmer,
Marketing Manager, Cintas. “With Where to Wee, users have the peace
of mind that they’ll be able to find a restroom anywhere, and more
importantly, that it will be clean based on others’ ratings.”
When launching the app, users will see a map showing nearby
public restrooms, which are highlighted by a colored “commodicon”
based on ratings. Top-rated restrooms are indicated with a green
icon, average-ranked restrooms are displayed with a yellow icon and
unrated restrooms are displayed with a grey icon. By clicking a
list icon, users will see a full list of available restrooms
including their rating so they can choose the cleanest restroom in
their area. W2W has the largest database of restroom locations
compared to restroom finder apps, so users always benefit from a
comprehensive list of nearby facilities.
To help others locate a clean restroom, the app asks users to
rate restroom conditions using a five-point system. Users can rate
the availability of soap and toilet paper, the appearance of the
sink and toilet areas and odor levels in the restroom. Users can
also upload pictures of restrooms directly from their phone into
each review. To be rated, a restroom must receive a minimum of five
user reviews. Ratings will be based on the most recent reviews to
guarantee accuracy and to provide below average restrooms an
opportunity to improve their cleanliness for their users and earn
higher ratings.
“This app is a huge improvement over basic restroom finder apps
because it not only has the most restrooms in its database, but it
provides the ability to find a clean restroom based on user
ratings,” added Farmer. “It eliminates the guesswork of wondering
where you can find a restroom and whether it will be suitable when
you get there. Whether you’re a parent with young kids, a teenager,
a road warrior, a holiday traveler, or someone with digestive
issues, it’s a must-have app and will continue to improve as more
users rate restrooms.”
W2W is available for complimentary download in the iPhone App
store or the Android Marketplace. For more information, please
