Public toilets can be scary! If you happen to use one of them following tips can be helpful.

  • Try to choose the toilet closer to the restroom door as the ones farther from the door are perceived to be more “private “and thus tend to be used by the majority of the users.
  • Toilet floors could harbor germs so it’s advisable to avoid keeping one’s belongings on the floor.
  • One should always use a toilet seat disinfectant.
  • The germs are likely to be thrown up in the air by the force of the water while flushing. So, it’s advisable to close the lid of the toilet seat before flushing.
  • The flush can harbor many germs as it is touched by so many hands, so it’s advisable to cover your fingers with toilet paper and then press the flush
  • The same Toilet seat disinfectant spray can be used on the faucet and door handle of the toilet too.
  • It’s advisable not to touch anything after you wash your hands as you may attract germs again.
  • Do make it a practice to carry your own wet wipes
  • Also, review the toilet on Google maps so that the people, as well as the authorities, are aware of its condition!
