View Full Version : Toilet hygiene
The place I work has some of the worst hygiene. Firstly, we have the staff from abroad using the toilets as latrines and not cleaning the seats after them, floaters left for the next person. Then you have those that don't wash their hands and straight to lunch.
Disgusting.
This takes me back to a conversation with a few friends in the union bar. Do you wipe or wash? < That's rhetorical by the way :p
People who don't wash their hands after they've been to the toilet irritate me. They touch door handles, stationary, remotes, food surfaces and spread diseases.

I always wash my hands afterwards, every time. Not doing so is just plain laziness imo. It takes like a minute. I'm very hygenic when it comes to things like that, suppose its just the way i've been brought up.
The toilets at my secondary school were disgusting, they did get done out eventually though... just as I was leaving :rolleyes:
That's another thing. I try not to touch the door handle with my bare hands. God knows what diseases are lurking on there

Urghhh, I hate it. I alwyas wahs my hands... and working around food.. I wash my hands liek every 10 minutes or so as I'm always back and forth the bar.
But you wouldn't believe some of the things we have to clean in the toilets at night! Absolutely vulgar!!
urgh i have a phobia of public toilets! they are always vile, always stink and i try not hard to use them, ive got to be pretty desperate to use one!
I always wash my hands after going and im forever bleaching my loo!
My work toilets are very very clean and they installed automatic taps and dyson hand dryer so everyone wants to try them out.. plus there is signs everywhere to wash your hands
where i used to work they used to be really clean but my school ones were awful!
I even carry a little bottle of like cleanex in my handbag to make sure i can wash my hands proply, like you say its not that hard to do so!
When I had the misfortune to work over the weekend, the state of the toilets could have easily been reported to health and safety.

I was actually surprised to day at college with the toilets, at high school we didn't have hot water or soap which i thought was pretty poor tbh. So i never went to the toilet. The one time I did, because I really needed to, I went into the staff toilets ha. They have soap and everything.
I always wash my hands, but tbh I think I have a bit of OCD about it! And in public toilets I'll take off a piece of toilet paper, put that over the thing to flush it with (if it's not one of the wave and flush things) then use that to open the doors. Because otherwiase you'd be washing you hands and then touching a door that someone who hasn't washed their hands, has just touched!

I'm like that and I don't like touching banisters when I walk up or downstairs. Our toilets at the college are minging tbh I don't know how the cleaners are in a job as they spend most of the time out in the smoking shelter or in the refectory drinking coffee. The toilets only get checked once a day. I was my hands after I've used the toilet then I go back to my office where I have a bottle of dettol hand sanitiser and wash them again.

I am surprised when I go to the toilet at work when I see the girls that come through with their faces all made up. They use the toilet and rather then wash their hands they apply lipstick, do their hair and walk out! It is so sickening to see!

I actually don't think germs spreading is a bad thing as being too clean isn't good for you either, but defo not the germs from the toilet.

Toilet germs are not cool
I laughed so much last week as we had an internal email from one of the managers it was an email directed at the men in the office. The message was warning them on the importance of toilet hygiene and the importance of washing their hands after using the toilet as it had been noted many were not flushing the toilet or washing their hands!
With the swine flu epidemic recently the office has now introduced more alcohol wipes for us to clean our pcs down but I think people are secretly using this for other things!

I went into work yesterday and we have to keep checking the toilets all day to make sure they're ok to use.. so I go and check them, and the mens toilets were absolutely disgusting!! Lets jsut say there was a niiiiice present all splatted around the toilet bowl.. in 2 of the toilets!! There was also a stupid amount of pee on the floor by the urinals and in the disabled.. someone left a big present in the loo.. and didn't even flush! Ladies weren't too bad but you find the odd surprise in there too! It's jsut beyond me how anyone can leave public toilets in a state like that?! I never would.. so why should anyone else?
You should leave it as you found it... or would like to find it!
I hated our high school toilets :sick:

I hated our high school toilets :sick:Ours were disgraceful, the ones at college were nice though.
Yeah college was nice, although a couple had a really bad smell!
Our school toilets weren't that bad actually. They got revamped after my first year there because the doors were falling off, there was no locks, they didn't flush, sinks cracked etc. They put in really nice modern toilets with locks on the doors and separate toilets for the 6th form with keypad lock thing on the outside door.
Our cleaner at work is always getting desperate about the state of the gents, absolutely disgusting. One fellow also waits until he is at work to use the loo and it stinks so much, that the gents are out of order for the next 3 hours :sick:
And these are men nearing retirement age :angry: I am glad I don't get to see what she does. I am very particular about bathroom hygiene, always wash my hands and never touch door handles if I can help it and bannisters.
