restrooms

the less than hygienic details
surrounding public toilets and washrooms
[Music]
number five the blast radius is bigger
than you think people typically stand up
before flushing to avoid back splash but
don’t fool yourself into thinking that
the lack of spray on your hindquarters
has saved you from germs you see when
you flush your toilet the force of the
water sends fecal matter and urine mist
up in the air and with the bowl itself
serving as the epicenter of the blast
you’re allegedly looking at 6 foot
radius of fallout in the form of bodily
waste considering it covers such a large
area there’s really no way to flush and
get clear of the blast even worse by
that logic if the toilet paper isn’t
covered it’s technically already soiled
number 4 the hover squat makes things
worse many of us can’t bring ourselves
to make contact with the same surface
that so many mysterious butts have
touched before
so we hover above the surface to do our
business sounds disgusting
I had to do this flattened hover
unfortunately this solution makes us
part of the problem when you squat above
the surface you increase the initial
splash of the bodily fluids or solids
hitting the water resulting in a dirtier
surface for the next user toilets are
actually quite well designed the smooth
porcelain doesn’t give bacteria anything
to hold on to meaning that so long as we
commit to making contact diminishing
splash back and not leaving damp toilet
paper on the seat we can all sit
comfortably number three a staggering
number of men don’t wash their hands
properly you’re gonna wash your hands no
cuz I’m evil yell ads we get it you can
pee and not white but it’s not the
wiping that makes washing your hands a
good idea
this bacteria all over the place
and bathrooms and no matter how little
contact you make your hands get dirty by
virtue of walking into the space which
is what makes these figures so
disconcerting according to a survey by
the company initial washroom hygiene 62%
of men don’t wash their hands after
going to the bathroom and while it’s not
as bad women aren’t exactly doing much
better at 40% the big cause for concern
though according to a Michigan State
University study 95% of people wash
their hands incorrectly
number two the lack of lids is really
unfortunate oh that’s real nice so
remember the urine fecal fallout we
discussed earlier well it can be easily
contained with one simple maneuver
closing the lid but while this is an
easy and effective habit to get into at
home sadly in most public restrooms
we’ve been robbed of the choice you
can’t really blame the institutions
though with people going out of their
way to avoid making contact with public
toilets including flushing with their
shoe it seems unlikely that the average
person would be willing to open and
close the lid if they share with
strangers it’s too bad though as a
simple closed lid keeps all that
bacteria in the bowl number one not even
the soap is safe in public restrooms
it’s easy to feel overwhelmed by all the
potential germs and bacteria in that den
of achiness the soap dispenser can start
to look like a guardian angel of sorts a
disinfecting hero come to save you from
the filth sadly soap dispensers don’t
always live up to their reputation
according to a study by the Journal of
environmental health published in 2011
based on 500 samples from public
restrooms a quarter of the soap we use
is contaminated with bacteria that
leaves your hands in worse shape than
when you began it’s disgusting but true
