Step 'n Wash Now in 25,000 Locations, Helping Businesses Create More Accessible Restrooms
Leading Retailers and Hospitality Brands Enhance Customer Experience with Step 'n Wash
ATLANTA, April 15, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Handwashing is essential for public health, but for children and individuals with certain disabilities, standard-height sinks in public restrooms can be a challenge. Businesses that prioritize accessibility and customer convenience are turning to Step 'n Wash to bridge this gap - and now, more than 25,000 locations around the world have installed this simple yet effective solution.
Step 'n Wash, the industry leader in retractable step stools for commercial bathrooms, has seen a 30% year-over-year increase in unit sales, reflecting the growing demand for accessible and family-friendly restrooms in retail, hospitality, healthcare, and entertainment venues.
"Our rapid growth is a direct result of businesses recognizing that accessible restrooms improve customer experience and drive loyalty," says Jacob Fedosky, President of Step 'n Wash. "Major brands like Target, Olive Garden, Whole Foods, and Universal Parks & Resorts, as well as hundreds of airports and hospitals, have installed Step 'n Wash in their facilities, demonstrating their commitment to accessibility and customer convenience."
Enhancing the Customer Experience, Strengthening Brand Loyalty
More than 50% of parents choose stores and restaurants based on the availability of family-friendly restrooms, according to industry research. For businesses, failing to accommodate shorter individuals—including children and guests with dwarfism and other disabilities—means potentially losing a significant portion of their customer base.
For individuals with dwarfism, independent handwashing is a matter of dignity, contributing to confidence and overall well-being. "When I can't reach the sink in a public restroom, it's a frustrating and unpleasant experience," says Becky Curran, TEDx Motivational Speaker and advocate for inclusion of people with dwarfism. "Step 'n Wash empowers businesses to make simple, meaningful changes that improve accessibility for many people. Their milestone of 25,000 installations is a testament to their impact."
