What is the situation of public toilets (restrooms) in your place?

Hi daliaj Same here in my country! It's not clean (well, it's dirty, honestly!) Once I can't hold anymore and I went to public toilet. After I open the door, I immediately cancel my decision to use that toilet! Really, better I hold it until go home or visit nearest restaurant! In private place, private school or buildings, mall, etc, the restrooms are really clean,, really on the contrary with restroom in public place and station restroom. So, better if you visit restaurant, order tea or other cheap menu and go to the toilet in that restaurant. Just for comparison, we need to pay Rp1000 = $0.1 after using public toilet (the dirty one) and we need to pat Rp 500 - Rp 2000 = $0.05-$0.25 for a glass of sweet ice tea in restaurant. Really? So you've ever had infection once? What kind of infection? May I know? So I can more aware about using public toilets

some are good but most of them are not. In small stores or mall or gasoline stations, they have attendant to maintain it otherwise, its so frustrating to go inside and find out how dirty public toilets are.

daliaj most of the places I visit here in the united States have very clean well maIntained rest rooms and I feel very safe using them.Our hospitals restrooms are very clean and well maintained as well. The only places i have seen that are diry and unacceptable are some of the service station rest rooms. But the bigger company restrooms are very clean and you must ask for the key to the restroom that helps to keep them clean.

For the most part, public restrooms are pretty clean here. I do my best not to use the portable ones because the smell just makes me feel like they are dirty. Sometimes the gas station bathrooms are a bit questionable, but the only time I'm tempted to use these is when I'm on a road trip and that isn't very often. I would maybe be a little more leary if I had an infection or a bad experience, but so far, I have been okay.

very bad and dirty. i will not use them unless i REALLY have to go. and to tell the truth, it seems not many people ever use them but they're still not clean!

hi dalia, i can say that most of the restrooms here in our place is quiet dirty, and i hate to use them.. i just wait to be at home so i can do it there, most of the time i can't dare to use them on. i hope they can make actions on it.!! janebeth.

Hi daliaj! Public toilets here in our city are not as clean. I believe that is true to most of the public toilets here in our country are not clean. That is one of the reasons why I take precautions when using them. If I could go off without having to use these public toilets, then I won't use any of these public toilets.

Just like the situation in your place, I don't find public toilets at our country very hygienic. (blame it to those undisciplined people) Only a few persons have some concerns on using public c.r.'s.

Yes daliaj!Rest rooms in our country are not maintained properly.And our fellow countrymen are not having the basic knowledge of using one.They don't even mind flushing the toilet after use.I wonder how they keep the toilets at their home.Even some toilets which are maintained by the private are also not neat.It is a shame for us.

I really hates to get in dirty restroom.But i can avoid not using it when i was going out. Well,here in my country some of the restroom condition is bad and some of it is okay.I avoid the dirty one and try the cleanest restroom as possible.

I had this infection once and since that day I promised to myself that I will try even in hard times not to go there, in the city here, it is horrible to see the toilets because it is very and extremely dirty so I prefer to help myself in the office itself before going to take the bus.

hi there, I usually go to public toilets when there is no other choice, I found most of them are drity and disgusting, especially those on trains, other public toilets are not that bad, they usually have someone do the cleaning. Good day!

Hi daliaj! We are residing abroad and the best thing that amaze me here is the cleanliness of the toilet, utility lady will always follow each cubicle user upon going out, wipes the toilet seat and mops the floor before any other user gets in. Tissues, soaps and hand dryers are being provided. Moreso, in some restrooms from the malls you can even sleep on the aisles as there are sofa sets provided. Yes, Dubai is known for it's cleanliness......Good Day!

Horrible there r now words to be said just cannot imagine going to this rest rooms?????????????

Its pathetic in my place too. Its hard to find a clean toilet. I really wonder if people have no civic sense and they do not teach their kids to use toilets. I have roamed around a lot in my country and no where I have found clean public toilets. What irks me most is the men urrinating on the sides of the road I really feel like kicking them on their behind and ask if they have ever seen a toilet. Though Sulabh seva had started but it alos fizzeled out after a while due to people not taking it too seriously. Even they have turned dirty over a period of time.

In my experience, public restrooms here in Texas have all been reasonably clean or very clean. My primary physician is located at one of our military hospitals. The restrooms there are always very clean. I have not traveled by bus or train in many years, but the restrooms at the airports have been very clean. Even the restrooms at the rest stops along the highway have been reasonably clean. The only dirty restrooms that I have seen have been at service stations.

Quite worst is the situation of public toilets in my country and especially in railways, its too worst. The sanitation is quite worst and there is absolutely no hygiene that prevails.

I only use the public restroom at places that I know keep them clean. I will not use one in the park because those are just gross but most of the businesses where I live try to keep the restroom as clean as possible. Sometimes I come across a gross one and just tell the manager of the place I am at and they will send an employee in to clean it up.

Hey daliaj I would never use a pulic toilet if I can help it. If of course you just have to go, roll up your pants and try not to sit on the seat. Unfortunately many people do not know or just don't care enough to use a toilet properly. then of course, those public toilets should be well maintained as well and cleaned regularly and have attendants to check on them etc. When it comes to public toilets in bus stands, well, I would rather not say anything at all.

My place here, if it is not a hotel restroom, or a good shopping mall restroom i don't think i will go. The other public toilet is just watery, dirty and so disgusting, unless if i really really cannot hold it anymore, than I'll go.
