[nabs-l] Clean Restrooms or bathrooms

[Kaiti Shelton]

This is a legitimate question, and because some others might be
wondering the same thing but may be embarrassed to ask, I'll put my
comment over list as Tyler has done.

He has given solid suggestions; I generally try to find multiple
bathrooms I can use so that if I know one is disgusting I can find
another.  When the viral plague was going through my floor freshman
year, I would go to the restroom in the lobby most of the time to
avoid picking up germs from the sinks, toilets, etc because we only
had cleaning staff once a day and people were so ill.  Like Tyler,
this one was farther away, but I didn't mind going downstairs and back
up again because it was so much cleaner, and I ended up not getting
sick.  If I'm in an unfamiliar place, sometimes I'll take some toilet
paper out and wipe around the seat before I actually use it.  Those
sanitary things you can put on toilet seats also work pretty well.

Also, if a restroom is dirty, don't be afraid to say something.  Odds
are that other people are just as grossed out as you are, and that the
facility just isn't aware of the situation.  As long as staff are on
call, a receptionist or someone in charge can call a janitor in to
clean up the problem.  I've been on both ends of this as the person to
tell a receptionist, and a receptionist who had to call a janitor for
clean up duty, and in both instances I was just glad that something
could be done to make the situation better.  I'm sure fellow restroom
patrons felt the same.
