I agree with Dipil.
I realise that it can be very uncomfortable and unsettling when rest rooms are not used appropriately. And, in most instances, we 'react' with anger and contempt towards the person causing the mess.
But, take a moment to think that perhaps this fresher hasn't been exposed to the hygiene standards prevalent in your company. I know this will sound really stupid at first, but believe me that a large proportion of us Indians are not used to 'toilet and bathroom etiquette' until we start work. Especially, if we don't come from large or relatively large cities. Why? There are a number of reasons. Some of these would be cultural, domestic, socio-economic, lack of adequate infrastructure while growing up etc...
In any case, as flustered as you guys probably are at work, try cutting her some slack. Speak with her and educate her. Don't instruct her. Because, remember, even you won't like someone telling you that you don't know how to use a toilet. After all, its something you've been doing from the moment you were born. So, it becomes very personal and can be extremely sensitive.
I am sure that with patience, tact, empathy and a desire to educate, she will learn new skills and you guys will get the rest room that you rightly deserve!
Cheers!

Best solution for your query you can speak to her friendly maybe she doesn’t know how to behave in pubic/restrooms. I had faced the same problem when I got job in overseas just educate her FRIENDLY. I think it’s not a big issue.
Let’s try this one or two times clean your restroom (Don’t take negatively) front of her third time she will realize the mistake and correct herself.

Induction training was not a complete guide as such indiscipline or etiquette fall below urs expectation

If she doesn't want to learn the right way of using office facilities then it is difficult situation. In this case I think you should approach her boss.
Or you can warn her first that you will take it further to her boss and after observing her can take forward.

We have also faced such a problem in hotel industry, some girls messed up with the rest room and and our housekeeping manager ordered them to clean it for next one week with the cleaning in-charge of rest rooms in different shifts, I will not suggest the same to you but you can have a word with the management and make a common punishment for all the employees who does not behave properly with the public property.
