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.
