toilet seat(#88).

That impresses me. I only wish the phobic people would stop ******* on the toilet seats and not having the decency to wipe their urine off of it or lift it like we'd expect any man to do (since they **** on the seats). It is gross to walk into a stall and see urine splattered on the seats. And it's the ones that are afraid of toilet seats that make the mess.

(If you sprinkle when you tinkle, be a sweety, and wipe the seaty). I worked in a small country hospital where a sign read "Please flush only toilet paper in this toilet." I know what they meant, but I wanted to stick a little goldfish net up there on a 3M hanger with small plastic bags just be evil, lol! (Staff Bathroom)

I'm freaked that a re-usable water bottle, on the third fill up, is as sanitary as drinking lake or swamp water. Eat a cert please/thank you:)

Germs live everywhere. They co-exist with us but if we each individual takes a minute of our time clean these everyday use items infectious diseases will reduce significantly. I always wipe down my phone intralink when I have them. I saw CNA did the unimaginable thing holding poop (gloved) but when the phone rang she picked it up answered it and put it back in her pocket with poopy gloves. Yike! Education! That's a no no!!!

My Whole Post is in Honor of the Infamous Fomite:)

I'm so glad you brought that up though, because this thread is definitely not "Fomite and Fancy Free.":p

I'm not a germophobe but I know how easy transference is so I will make a point in dousing sinks, taps and the air in boiling hot water followed by gel sanitizer and the air gets glen 20. Ohh and I will use hot water and detergent to clean baruches.

I'm a freak for everything being clean

We swabbed some sites in our hospital once, and I'm pretty sure the ward telephones were highest on the list! Gross!

Is that true or is it just a myth the water companies come out with to make you buy new bottles each time? I refill and reuse mine for at least a week, sometimes more.

how about the pyxis?
