Throw In The Towel

How many times do you enter a public restroom that is fully equipped with sanitary, touchless devices? Not too often from my experience. In fact, some restrooms are the opposite with unclean soap dispensers, towel dispensers, flushers, and door handles. You know that these things have been handled by countless users before you." What is the use of washing my hands?", you say. I totally agree. I have used different strategies to get around this problem. Once you wash your hands, whether the soap dispenser is automatic or not, you want to avoid cross-contamination. The towel dispenser may or may not be hands free. use your arm or back of your hand if it is not to get a clean towel. Then use it to turn off the faucet if need be. lastly open the door with that towel. If there is no receptacle near the door in which to throw in the towel, leave it on the floor. This sends a message to the establishment. At least have a trash can at the door to protect your clients from germs when they exit.

Touch Free Towel Dispensers

Hands free towel dispensers are becoming popular in public restrooms. The public is more aware of restroom hygiene and avoiding cross-contamination. No one wittingly wants to touch devices that were handled by the prior user, especially in the high traffic of a public restroom.

There are different types of touchless towel dispensers. There are the sensor-operated dispensers like the popular enMotion models. They are touchless because you just wave your hand in front of the sensor, and a towel appears. Other types have a centerfold towel that you can pull down for use. When you use these touch free towel dispensers you know that you are getting a germ-free paper towel.

If the establishment that you visit does not have a hands free towel dispenser, give them a suggestion to install one. Then when you return, you will feel more secure in avoiding germs.
