German term or phrase: Sanitärbereich
From a Swiss brochure on cleaning supplies:

Für Reinigung im Sanitärbereich, Gastronomie, Industrie und Gewerbe

Google doesn't care too much for "sanitary area". And not only bathrooms are meant, I assume, but also large, communal showers, etc. US English, please

Explanation:
Richtig - im Duden-Herkunftswörterbuch finde ich unter "sanitär" Folgendes: gesundheitlich; das Gesundheitswesen betreffend (20. Jh.; aus entsprechend frz. sanitaire, einer gelehrten Bildung zu lat. sanitas Gesundheit), dazu die Fügung sanitäre Anlagen' öffentliche Bedürfnisanstalt, in der sanitär' früher verhüllenden Charakter hatte und die heute allgemein Dusch-, Waschräume, Toiletten bedeutet;


Da das mit dem "-bereich" schwierig ist, schlage ich vor, auf "Sanitäranlagen" auszuweichen.
