Customers may be judging your business by its toilets. According to Bradley Corp.&rsquo;s 10th Annual Healthy Hand Washing Survey, 52 percent of American customers &ldquo;definitely&rdquo; or &ldquo;probably&rdquo; would spend more money at a business with clean, well-maintained restrooms, <a href="https://www.qsrmagazine.com/news/study-consumers-will-spend-more-clean-restrooms?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=clean-restrooms-more-revenue-cant-lose-2709478" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" style="text-decoration-line:none" target="_blank">reports QSR Magazine</a>. 
 
Further, the study found that 64 percent of customers consciously choose a business based on its superior restrooms. This makes a lot of sense, considering the study found that public restrooms are used for a variety of purposes&mdash;nearly half of adults polled said they pop into the restroom to check how they look; 27 percent use them to avoid someone, cry, hide or take a mental health break; and 25 percent use the restroom to catch up with their phones. 
 
The study showed that the biggest frustrations Americans encounter in sub-par restrooms are clogged or unflushed toilets, empty or jammed toilet paper dispensers and faulty latches on stall doors. 
 
&ldquo;The state of a restroom can have a measurable effect on the health of a business,&rdquo; said Jon Dommisse, director of strategy and corporate development for Bradley Corp., according to QSR.
