Common Sense Tips For Public Restroom Germ Protection

By Larry Jackson


If you ask people where they are most likely to pick up harmful germs, most of them will cite public restrooms. They have legitimate concerns because bacteria thrives in moist conditions and organic waste. The danger of getting an STD in one of these bathroom is fairly slim because the lifespan of the viruses are limited outside the body. You are more likely to get salmonella and shigellosis by coming into contact with handles and faucets. Avoiding them is possible. Public restroom germ protection is a matter of common sense.

About a third of the people who frequent communal bathrooms fail to wash their hands before leaving. If you are among this group, you need to change your habits immediately. Thoroughly washing your hands, and drying them, is the best way to protect yourself from bacteria. You should opt for paper towels, in a dispenser, instead of the air dryer.

When you first enter a communal bathroom, you need to look around to see if there are plenty of paper towels, soap, and toilet paper. Bathrooms without supplies should be avoided completely. It is perfectly acceptable to stop a waiter or interrupt a manager to ask that they put some supplies in the bathroom. They should have checked on it in the first place.

You may never have considered it, but not all stalls are alike. Which one you choose can matter. Whoever does such studies has concluded that the first stall is the most desirable. It is the least often used, so it tends to be cleaner and better stocked.

The idea of actually sitting down on the bare toilet seat is unacceptable to many. Unless you have balance issues, hovering is a good alternative. For those who find hovering uncomfortable and unnatural, the paper liners some bathrooms provide offers some protection. You can always bring your own liners stuffed inside a tote or purse.

If you have ever gone into a public bathroom at the beach, you have probably seen other people walking around barefoot or in flip flops. Not only is it possible to pick up bacteria from the floor, it's very likely you will unless you protect yourself by wearing real shoes. You need to remember that the floors may only get mopped once a day.

If possible use your elbow instead of your hand to raise and lower door handles. Handles can be loaded with bacteria, so they are never really safe to touch. If you use your hand to turn on the sink faucet, turn it off with a paper towel instead of your washed hand. Keeping hand sanitizer in your purse is a great idea. It will provide you with an extra layer of protection.

Public bathrooms have a place. They are convenient, and many are kept clean. Even though the one you are in may seem to sparkle, you should still avoid touching handles, taking your shoes off, or sitting directly on the bare toilet seat.
