How clean is that washroom? (And when was it cleaned?)

eNITIAL Time Stamping device, Toronto Pearson International Airport, Mississauga, Ontario

I saw this device in the washroom at the luggage area at Toronto Pearson International Airport. This represents a vast improvement over the often ignored paper version of the washroom checklist usually attached to the back of the door.

The manufacturer's website lists the process for using the device. (Source: http://www.enitial.com/)

• Once a washroom patrol has been completed, a washroom attendant uses an iButton to "eNITIAL" the device
• The time & date displays with "This washroom was last serviced at..."
• Last serviced time & date remain until the next "eNITIAL"
• Team members download data weekly to PDAs
• Data is wirelessly transmitted from PDAs to our web Website

While this represents an improvement over the paper version, keeping track of maintenance and cleaning cycles would be enhanced if the collection of data could be done wirelessly rather than through a download to a PDA. (Who has a PDA anymore?)
