What can I do, besides bringing one of those covers everywhere, to get people to clean the high chairs at least one a week? Isn't that violating a health code or something?
Tell them that you want a new chair and someone needs to clean this one.
Quoting frndlyfn:Tell them that you want a new chair and someone needs to clean this one.
Thanks. That's a good idea! I guess I'm just so used to dirty chairs that I don't even think about asking for a different one.
I'm surprised they can't feel the nastiness when they pick it up and bring it to us.
Request a clean highchair. If they can't / won't provide one, along with sincerely apologizing for their lapse, I would leave.

Your welcome. I have worked in restaurants and the wood ones in particular are a B to clean but i still got them clean. The plastic ones can be taken to kitchen to hose down.
It was years ago, but I waitressed my way through college. I can count on one hand the number of times we disinfected those things. This was before I had kids. After I had kids we brought our own hook on seat for our kids. It probably is a health code violation but when you make $2.14 an hour plus tips, highchair cleanliness is not a top priority.

I manage at a restaurant. Dirty highchairs are absolutely unacceptable to me. I stay on servers, to make sure they are wiped down after every use and detail cleaned weekly.

That's great advice! And good for you to keep those things clean. Little kids need a clean place to sit just like anyone else.

That's a great idea! Where can you get one of those at? Are they pretty sturdy and easy to transport and set up?
Quoting frndlyfn:
This was one of those nasty wood ones. I have only used a plastic one once and it wasn't too bad. The wood ones are usually wiggly and wobbly.
Very easy to use and store. We kept ours in the car so we always had it if we stopped to eat somewhere. Kept a pack of clorox wipes with them. Cost about $20 on Amazon. (Regalo Easy Diner Portable High Chair) we had one similar to this one.
Is it just me, or... ?
