Last Updated on January 7, 2021

Every time we visit a public toilet we ask ourselves a very important question: to sit or not to sit. We have always heard horror stories about the things that happen there and all the bacteria and germs that we don’t want to touch our skins.

But when nature calls, you can’t do anything but to answer it while being extra horrified by the toilet, or you can choose to hold it and have an embarrassing accident later on.

Fortunately, there are some rules that can help ease our experiences with public bathrooms and save our overall health. Here are the 8 important rules about public toilets that you need to follow.

The fact that no one knows how much bacteria each corner of a public toilet has is a blessing because we would probably never visit them again.

But to worsen our nightmares, the BioCote Company went out there to discover more about all the toilet’s surfaces. So it collected many samples to find out at the end that there are 50,000 different microorganisms that are always around us.

Shockingly, the most contaminated part of the toilet is the sink because it had way too many germs than the actual toilet seat. The scientists of Arizona also confirmed this and said that only 19% of germs in the bathroom can be found on the toilet, while the rest are located in the sinks, walls, door knobs, and flush buttons.

#2 – Pay attention to details

Every time you visit a public toilet, make sure to pay attention to the little things before you use or do anything.

If there is toilet paper, soap, and a cleaning schedule on the wall, then the bathroom is good to be used and a lot cleaner than you might have expected.

You can also check the schedule and see for yourself if the date is today and if the time intervals are not more than a couple of hours apart.
