  • Lifting the Lid on Washrooms There’S Something Quintessentially British When It Comes to Talking About Toilets
    Lifting the Lid on Washrooms There’s something quintessentially British when it comes to talking about toilets Introduction The loo, the restroom, the powder room, the washroom - call it what you may - we all spend a lot more time noticing them and talking about them than you think. Even though research finds the average desk at work harbours 400 times more bacteria than the average toilet seat, our sense of serenity comes from how we regard our restrooms. In restaurants, they impact our perceptions of hygiene while in the workplace grubby washrooms conjure up visions of employers with similarly low standards. In short, toilets say a lot about their owners. All of this is against a backdrop of an emerging national debate about our basic facilities. Not only are their size, design and functionality all being looked at, there is now a serious debate about whether workplaces should allow members of the public, not just their employees, to use their loos. Around 40% of public conveniences have disappeared in the last decade and, in a speech to her fellow MPs in September 2017, Madeleine Moon MP called for business rate reductions as a reward for friendly employers who open their (toilet) doors to a wider clientele. Pragmatically, there is an economic reason behind wanting to maximise the net internal area of a toilet. Dwarfing this though, is an emerging conversation about whether workplaces should dispense with traditional male-female loo labels altogether, and instead only offer gender-neutral toilets - to help transgender and non-binary people feel more comfortable. If even the White House has done it, many are asking why the change can’t be made here too.

  • A Concept of Clean Toilet from the Islamic Perspective
    A CONCEPT OF CLEAN TOILET FROM THE ISLAMIC PERSPECTIVE Asiah Abdul Rahim Department ofArchitecture Kulliyyah afArchitecture and Environmental Design INTERNATIONAL ISLAMIC UNIVERSITY MALAYSIA Abstract Islam is the official religion of Malaysia and more than half of the population is Muslim. As Muslims, the aspect of cleanliness is one of the most important and basic things that should be followed and practised in everyday life. Allah loves those cleanse themselves as quoted in the holy Qur'an. .. God loves those who turn to Him, and He loves those who cleanse themselves ". (Surah Al-Baqarah: 222) There is a growing awareness of public toilets among the public and authorities which can be seen in the events such as the "A Clean Toilet Campaign Seminar" held at national level end of July 2003 in lohor Bahru, Johor. Criticisms by visitors and locals stirred the level of consciousness among those responsible directly or indirectly for clean and effective public facilities.Nowadays, toilet is no longer perceived as merely a small and insignificant part of a building. It contributes and serves more than the initial purposes intended. Due to socio-economic changes, a toilet has been diversified and become multi-functions. It has surpassed its traditional role as a place to empty bowels or urinates to serve as comfortable vicinity with conveniences. In developed countries such as Japan and Korea, a public toilet has become a communal area where people could do face washing, showering, freshen up or taking care of their kids and so on. In designing a public toilet, some elements should be highlighted particularly on the understanding of users needs.

  • Features and Benefits of the Cleanlet 300 Electronic Bidet Clinical Overview
    Clinical Overview Features and Benefits of the Cleanlet 300 Electronic Bidet Clinical Overview Overview The Cleanlet 300 series bidet attaches to the existing toilet pan in place of the seat and lid and draws cold water from the cistern tap. When the Cleanlet bidet is plugged into a 230V 3-pin socket the water will be heated in the small tank in - side the unit. The warm water is then piped to the wash nozzle when the “wash” button on the control panel is pressed. The cistern flush is unaffected by the in - stallation of the Cleanlet. Features • Ease of use • Warm water wash • Variable water pressures • Warm air dry • Variable air temperatures • Heated seat • Manual or Remote control models • Soft Close seat & lid Benefits • Assists people who cannot manage their personal hygiene by themselves • Retains independence and dignity and make life easier • Assists in controlling urinary tract infections • Assists in the relief of mild constipation • Eliminates the use of toilet paper for those loose bowels or skin problems and find wiping uncomfortable • Hygiene is the primary roll of the Cleanlet Bidet Clinical Overview Anal Cleansing This nozzle has three jets providing cleaning of the anal area. The water pressure can be adjusted to meet personal requirements. There is the choice of local washing or by pressing the wash a second time the wash area is elongated. The water temperature can be preset. Constipation Constipation is commonly encountered in older adults, as they are more susceptible to chronic physiologic and pathologic change that can predispose them to constipation. Clients with mild constipation have found that by using the “turbo” wash and allowing the warm/hot water to spray around the anal area a bowel movement more than likely results.

  • Arxiv:2101.11990V1 [Physics.Flu-Dyn] 28 Jan 2021 in the Study Reported That All of the Restroom Surfaces Appeared Teria Recovered from Air Samples
    Aerosol generation in public restrooms Jesse H. Schreck,1, a) Masoud Jahandar Lashaki,2, b) Javad Hashemi,1, c) Manhar Dhanak,1, d) and Siddhartha Verma1, e) 1)Department of Ocean and Mechanical Engineering, Florida Atlantic University, Boca Raton, FL 33431, USA 2)Department of Civil, Environmental and Geomatics Engineering, Florida Atlantic University, Boca Raton, FL 33431, USA (Dated: 29 January 2021) Aerosolized droplets play a central role in the transmission of various infectious diseases, including Legionnaire’s disease, gastroenteritis-causing norovirus, and most recently COVID-19. Respiratory droplets are known to be the most prominent source of transmission for COVID-19, however, alternative routes may exist given the discovery of small numbers of viable viruses in urine and stool samples. Flushing biomatter can lead to the aerosolization of microorganisms, thus, there is a likelihood that bioaerosols generated in public restrooms may pose a concern for the transmission of COVID-19, especially since these areas are relatively confined, experience heavy foot traffic, and may suffer from inadequate ventilation. To quantify the extent of aerosolization, we measure the size and number of droplets generated by flushing toilets and urinals in a public restroom. The results indicate that the particular designs tested in the study generate a large number of droplets in the size range 0:3mm to 3mm, which can reach heights of at least 1:52m. Covering the toilet reduced aerosol levels but did not eliminate them completely, suggesting that aerosolized droplets escaped through small gaps between the cover and the seat. In addition to consistent increases in aerosol levels immediately after flushing, there was a notable rise in ambient aerosol levels due to the accumulation of droplets from multiple flushes conducted during the tests.

KEEP DIY TOOLS OUT OF THE REACH OF CHILDREN Home Safety Advice Always take care when using an electric drill, particularly in the bathroom. Always check for hidden cables and pipework before drilling and take extreme care if there is any water in the working area. Always wear suitable eye protection when drilling. If the product is to be fitted on a ceramic tiled wall, a ceramic drill bit should be used. Always ensure that the drill hole passes through the central tiled area rather than through the grouted area. To prevent uneccessary damage to the tile, mask the area around the hole with tape before drilling. Do not strike the product with hard or sharp objects. Do not overload the shelf. Maximum safe working load is 2.5kg evenly distributed if mounted on to a solid wall.
