Correct wording for a sign
Hi all, most of you that know me know I’m not the best at grammar and spelling, or punctuation, which is why in need your help.
A company has a female toilet cleaner and have asked to have some yellow floor standing signs made with the following messageFemale cleaning toilet do not enter or words to that effect, any suggestions please thanks Rich
or toilet cleaning in progress by a female member of staff????????????

Rich I would just say closed for cleaning, I have no idea why you would have to say which gender is doing the cleaning, surely the main thing is wet floors wet toilet seats, danger of slipping 😀

are they being sexist?
why not just
Toilets unavailable whilst cleaning in progress. thank you for being patient.Peter
-
sort of snap
-
Yes I agree, I think I would not designate the sex of the cleaner.
What if this made her vulnerable to attack?
(i.e. some perv seeing Rich’s addition and realizing there is a busty female alone in the bathroom)
Love…..Jill
PS
At least you didn’t make her look like Jordan. -
Could put a wee skirt on her and maybe some hair? oh oh and make her to be talking on the phone! then they would definitely know its a woman! :lol1:

I agree the sex shouldnt matter. If the toilets are closed whilst cleaning in progress then they are closed.
however, how many of us wonder into service station toilets whilst there are "slippy floor signs" all over the place. the cleaner still washing down the floor as you hurry by them hen toe’d and your back teeth floating? 😉
NO ENTRY
These toilet facilities
are closed whilst cleaning
is in progress.we apologise for any
inconvenience caused.P.S. In the event of "its touching cloth"
There’s a big tree across the car park
which is dead easy to hide behind.

I think its when a female cleaner is cleaning mens toilets and they don’t close them off to the public – so it needs to have the "female" wording.
-
quote Craig Tiley:Could put a wee skirt on her
That the same as incontinence pants? 😀

Hi John
I’ve seen many many signs in service station loos stating that the facilities are being cleaned by male attendants. The loos are not closed for cleaning on account of their size but I’ve got to say it’s always good to see the sign as you automatically think your in the wrong place if the first person you see is a fella 😳

Never mind the sexist angle – what about the lack of braille?
Picture the scene. Some poor sucker with his white stick goes wandering in… tip, tap, tip tap, (completely oblivious to the fact there is cleaning in progress). Next minute the Mutha goes and sticks one foot in the mop bucket and his other foot steps on the soap. Down he goes cracking his skull off a urinal ending up flat on his back choking on his vomit. The female cleaner being a woman and not made of stern enough stuff to provide rapid first aid panics, throwing her hands in the air shrieking like a banshee, while the poor sucker drowns on his own bodily fluids.
Do you really want to be responsible for that Rich, do you, do you? 😕

That’s terrible Dave – you’ve stretched the font and there is little or no left and right hand margin spaces.
But worst of all – you’ve left out the message "Mad Harridan at work" 😕
-
But it can be read at a distance of 20 foot?
-
Not in Braille it can’t 😕
-
Sorry – that came across wrong – I wasn’t calling you a "can’t" 😕
-
quote Phill Fenton:Not in Braille it can’t 😕might have long arms
-
This is despicable 🙄
Rich – I am doing my utmost to try and help you with your dillema, but all these "cant’s" insist on hijacking your thread 😕
-
The other side could have
DRY
FLOOR
-
must always warn of a wet floor even if its bone dry,

Brutal but very funny!!! so to get around that i suppose you will have to install an audio message WET FLOOR WITH LADY CLEANING and a likkle sensor to provide for the blind too. Woah the cost of this aboard is skyrocketing! -gonna make the letters out of reflective too to ensure that its seen? :lol1:
-
dont forget that you could sell advertising space on the sign so that could cover the cost
This sign was brought to you by CilitBang!
-
Glad you spelled that right Dave and didn’t miss an i out 😳 would have read sgn 😉
-
Thanks all Rich
oh it was the cleaner that asked for the signs to be made as the men were just walking into the toilet and getting on with it! 😮 -
didnt realise you had a cleaner Rich – Must be earning too much 😉

I cant belive i actually sat through the whole of that video expecting something other than the thing popping up and going down. 😮

I have taken mine and added a second sign… its a tripping hazard
must be a good market in health and safety signs

don’t forget the sign for……….
CAUTION
EXCESSIVE
USE OF
SIGNS
AREAI really think that this has been a useful thread as to what is required and how to make the best use of available space, and possible add on profits

These signs sell really well.
