Cintas awards America's Best Restroom each year with a nationwide contest, and a Delaware restroom has made the list of 10 finalists for 2022.
Set in Dagsboro, Delaware, you'll find Delaware Botanic Gardens at Pepper Creek. The florals and landscape is not what is getting their name out there this time -- it's the bathroom.
Cintas says the 21st annual contest celebrates businesses that develop and maintain innovative restroom facilities.
"How a business maintains its facilities is a reflection of a business’ commitment to customer service," the company says.

If you look at photos of this restroom in Dagsboro, you're sure to be impressed. Delaware Botanic Gardens makes the restroom "part of the unique garden experience".
These new restrooms are made of natural cedar cladding and encompass floor-to-ceiling south windows, all designed by local firm of SEA Studio Architects.
"Several didactic features on the exterior demonstrate simple stormwater management practices, including a rainwater collection cistern and rain chains that feed a 'living' wall, dry riverbed, and rain garden," Cintas said in a release.
These gorgeous features, the location of the washroom within the gardens, combined with these environmental practices make it a standout nominee and now finalist for the title of America's Best Restroom.
