Dex’s IoT-powered washroom solution gives school administrators real-time visibility of restroom usage, hygiene conditions, and cleaning compliance so every student walks into a clean, safe washroom, every time.

School Washrooms are a
Managing restrooms across a busy school campus is far more complex than it looks. Without real-time data, problems go undetected and students pay the price.
Cleaning follows fixed schedules, not actual usage. A restroom hit by hundreds of students before lunch sits dirty for hours while a barely-used one gets cleaned anyway wasting labour.
of schoolers report having had an unpleasant restroom experience at school triggered by inadequate cleaning.
School restrooms are well-documented sites for vaping, loitering, and peer intimidation and administrators have no data-backed way to detect unusual usage.
Bad smell is the main reason students skip school restrooms. With no real-time odour detection, conditions deteriorate between scheduled cleans and students simply hold it, or leave.

Paper sign-off sheets are easy to fake and impossible to audit. Administrators, parents, and accreditation bodies have no objective evidence that cleaning standards are actually being met.
Running out of soap, paper towels, or sanitiser is only discovered after a complains. Manual restocking is inconsistent and creates hygiene gaps that directly increase infection risk.

Broken fixtures, blocked drains, and out-of-order stalls often go unreported for hours or days. Without a monitoring system, facility teams only discover maintenance issues after a student complaint.
Despite growing pressure on school facility teams, maintaining consistent washroom hygiene remains a daily challenge when every cleaning decision still depends on guesswork and paper checklists.
Intelligent Washroom Solution
Dex deploys a network of IoT sensors across your school’s washrooms that feed real-time data into a single dashboard giving facilities managers complete operational control.
Count entries and exits in real time. Track usage peaks by period, hour, and day to auto-generate usage-based cleaning schedules — not time-based guesswork.
Detect ammonia and VOC levels that signal deteriorating conditions. Instantly trigger cleaning alerts when thresholds are breached — before students are affected.
Sensors in soap, sanitiser, and paper dispensers track fill levels continuously. Automated restocking requests are raised before a stockout occurs.
Monitor individual stall usage duration. Detect prolonged occupancy that may indicate loitering, vaping, or distress — and alert staff discreetly and immediately.
Cleaning staff check in and out via QR or NFC. Every task is time-stamped and permanently logged — creating a fully auditable digital record for administrators and compliance bodies.
View washroom health scores, usage heatmaps, SLA compliance, and supply consumption trends — daily, weekly, or monthly — from any device.
Built for Institutions
Data driven smart washroom solution using IoT Sensors can optimise your tasks and help you save around 20-30% in manpower costs by making them more efficient and productive.
Wireless sensors install without drilling or structural changes. Most school deployments go live in under 2 days — zero class disruption, zero construction mess.
Set different occupancy limits, odour tolerances, and cleaning windows for boys’, girls’, and staff restrooms independently — including gender-neutral facilities.
The Principal sees compliance summaries. Facilities directors see live alerts. Custodial staff receive task lists on their phones. Every role gets exactly what they need.
Every Washroom Challenge. One Platform.
Whether it’s a 300-student elementary school or a 3,000-student high school campus, Dex handles the unique operational demands of educational institutions.
Elementary Schools
Recesses and lunch periods drive massive short-burst footfall. Dex tracks these spikes and schedules cleaning immediately after peak usage — not two hours later — keeping facilities safe for younger students who are most vulnerable.
High Schools
Prolonged stall occupancy during class periods is a documented indicator of vaping or loitering in US high schools. Dex’s duration monitoring sends a discreet alert to administration — enabling intervention without confrontation.
Boarding & Residential
Residential school restrooms are in use around the clock. Dex provides continuous monitoring with shift-based cleaning schedules and overnight alerts — ensuring hygiene standards hold day and night.
District and Accreditation Compliance
Dex generates automated hygiene compliance reports that principals and facility directors can share with school district inspections, state health departments, or accreditation bodies replacing paper sign-off sheets with tamper-proof digital records. 100% digital, time-stamped cleaning logs with no paper records and no gaps in accountability.
Better Operational Outcomes
Real, measurable improvements in hygiene standards, custodial productivity, and student wellbeing within weeks of deployment.
Clean when it’s needed, not by habit. Dex eliminates both over-cleaning and under-cleaning through real usage data.
Consistently cleaner restrooms reduce transmission of flu, stomach bugs, and respiratory infections — illnesses that drive preventable absenteeism.
Every cleaning task is logged with timestamp and staff ID. Productivity improves when actions are visible and auditable by supervisors.
Odour spikes, empty dispensers, vaping alerts — detected in minutes, not discovered by complaint. Problems get fixed before they impact students.
Generate ready-to-submit hygiene reports for district inspections, state health bodies, or accreditation reviews automatically.
