Dear ladies,
I am addressing this message to the ladies because there is a serious concern within the organization. As this is a hotel, we provide locker rooms for changing and washrooms. Unfortunately, some of the ladies do not know how to maintain these facilities. They have been painting the walls with kajal, eyeliners, and lipstick, making the washrooms in a really bad state. Furthermore, they seem to lack the knowledge of how to properly dispose of things. Despite efforts from myself as a trainer and the executive housekeeper to educate them on these issues, the problem persists. Even putting up notices and reminders has not been effective as they deface the sheets with inappropriate content.
I am reaching out to seek your ideas on how we can address and prevent this behavior. Your input would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks & Regards,
Seema

Make them monitors on a rotation basis. One each day.
Monitors must either control the filth or clean it themselves at the end of the day... Or something like that. The key is to make them accountable.

Like it happens in malls, they used to put a cleaner or attendant in the changing rooms, or in locker rooms, who can keep an eye on such uncivil people. Out of an 8-hour workday, ask the lady workers, if any, to devote some time in the locker rooms - job rotation or additional responsibility, you know. The moment anybody tries to spoil the cleanliness, they point out the offender. Even a simple eye contact can do the work. Fine them, point them out before other people in locker rooms. They'll never repeat the thing again.

Hi,
I think you should send them an email on a regular basis and put up some posters on the same wall that show what should and shouldn't be done. Then, observe it regularly. If you find somebody engaging in this mischief, politely ask them not to do it and instruct a housekeeper to monitor the situation and prevent it from happening again.

Dear Seema,
Plz read the moral of the below story, I am sure this will help you alot:
“A school head was alerted by the caretaker to a persistent problem in the girls lavatories: some of the girl students were leaving lipstick kisses on the mirrors. The caretaker had left notices on the toilet walls asking for the practice to cease, but to no avail; every evening the caretaker would wipe away the kisses, and the next day lots more kisses would be planted on the mirror. It had become a bit of a game. The head teacher usually took a creative approach to problem solving, and so the next day she asked a few girl representatives from each class to meet with her in the lavatory.
"Thank you for coming," said the head, "You will see there are several lipstick kisses in the mirrors in this washroom.."
Some of the girls grinned at each other.
"As you will understand, modern lipstick is cleverly designed to stay on the lips, and so the lipstick is not easy at all to clean from the mirrors. We have therefore had to develop a special cleaning regime, and my hope is that when you see the effort involved you will help spread the word that we'd all be better off if those responsible for the kisses use tissue paper instead of the mirrors in future.."
At this point the caretaker stepped forward with a sponge squeegee, which he took into one of the toilet cubicles, dipped into the toilet bowl, and then used to clean one of the lipstick-covered mirrors.
The caretaker smiled. The girls departed. And there were no more lipstick kisses on the mirrors.”

Hi Seema,
You are lucky you don't have people who never even flush! Despite being called and asked to go back and flush. One single thing you can use as a tool is "scare them":
a) Tell them that you have cams outside the restroom, that would observe the people who use the restroom (not inside, but outside).
b) End of the day if the housekeeping informs that there has been additional artwork - then you will be calling all the ladies who used the restroom that day and they will have to CLEAN it by themselves. (especially ladies who carried their bag with them - you know, they take their makeup kit along in their bag).
If they have their mouths wide open - just casually tell them "Oh, this was the reaction when I saw your artwork, and I am tired of doing that 'OH MY GOD!!' thing for a while - and for a change - let's have the culprit do it ;-)".
It would work... Hope so... maybe... might be. Also, the lines by ARTI are definitely worth a try.
