At work I wash my hands. Open the door with paper towels and still go back to my desk and use hand sanitizer.

They say that is the dirtiest part of the bathroom because of that (I do it too...especially after I learned the above!).

It sucks when they only have blowers, so you can't use a paper towel to turn off the water or open the door.

Nope. Wrong!

For you and Anya....the toilet seat and door handles are the cleanest surfaces in most bathrooms...however, this is what you must avoid touching and no one ever thinks about it except the janitor.

I touch door handles in public restrooms and I am not ashamed.

Well we can go back and forth all day.

I will just leave this here and leave it at that.

Yes that does suck!! I usually awkwardly use my pinky or somethin to open the door. Then sanitize multiple times. Or if others are in there catch it with my foot when they open it.

Yes, I'm a big grabber with the foot too. If I do have to touch the door handle I grab it at the very bottom. People tend to grab the middle or upper half of a door handle.

Gemme, of course the floor is the very worst! I have held things in my hands while I squated over a toilet rather than put them down on the ground. And yes, I read that the seat is safe. I have heard that before. I hadn't heard that about the door handle, though.

Door handles.....

That depends on what articles you read. Some say it has the least germs/bacteria and some say it's one of the surfaces with the most. Personally, I'll stick to my habits.... Better safe than sorry.

Read somewhere that those bathroom paper seat covers are less sterile or hygienic than the seat itself.

You must have read about the automatic toilet seat cover machine. Paper ones that you remove yourself and put down are fine.

"Have you been in a restroom where the toilets have an automatic plastic cover that whirls itself around the seat to provide a hygienic surface for the next user? If you’ve passed through O’Hare International Airport and used the facilities, chances are you have at least seen them.

Such seat covers are now the center of a controversy in the airport for a couple reasons.

First of all, they have been found to be have a flaw that can refute some of their hygienic purpose. It turns out that if toilet water is spit up during a flush or if urine makes its way onto the bowl, the liquid then gets dragged onto the plastic cover where the next person is supposed to sit.

The Chicago Sun-Times investigated the issue in person at the airport after receiving a tip from a reader."

Rightfully so. When it has something called pink slime in it, it's bound to be a little bit gross.

I used a public restroom today and heard all of your voices in my head giving me advice on the best way to proceed.
