Here's how you keep them much cleaner, and much less expensed to maintain:
Set up a charge, a credit card tap lock, that is two bucks to use the toilet. But then only reserve the two bucks, and unreserve it a day later. No actual charge made.
Then, put a simple poster inside that features a face looking forward, and a request "keep our commons clean, we have your credit card info".
The mere screening act of requiring someone nearby to own a credit card will cut vandalism by 95%, and the image of eyes being present will also discourage asocial behaviors. Public restroom, it will get nasty, but the nastiness levels would be far more manageable.
It would work, right up until some parasitic social service agency gets a bunch of credit/debit cards to issue to their "clients" so they can shit up these restrooms with impunity.
The Homeless/Druggie Industrial Complex is out of control.
