Thanks for the idea

Its funny because i told my teacher about that who happens to be a RN, He had never heard about them spreading more germs. When it comes to the air dryer or rotating towel i prefer to use my pants lol.

Nothing,and I mean NOTHING, beats good old soap and water! Thankfully, both of my kids will declare openly if there isn't any soap in the dispensers in any restroom they use. My DS especially. He'll go as far as to hunt someone down who works there and tell them to refill it. LOL.

I also use a paper towel (if available) to open the door after I wash my hands. Of course my hands are all over my service dog all day *shudder*.

Once again...hand santizers are susposed to be used after you have washed your hands, it is funny , people wash their hands , then touch the handles and door knobs when they leave a wash room , putting the germs back on their hands from the people who didn;t wash their hands , we always use a clean paper towel to do that..those are real filthy germs..
Originally Posted By Lady Starlight Ohhh TM, I do the same thing with paper towels when leaving a restroom that has a door you have to touch to open. Blech, that grosses me out big time. Also touching the handle of the faucet to turn it off again when Im doing washing my hands.I'll wash the faucet handle off with soap and water while I wash my hands so if I have to touch it, I don't feel so yucky doing it. I'll usually wash my hands, then grab a paper towel, dry my hands and then shut the faucet off and use that same paper towel to open the door to leave. LOL! I also presh the "flush" button with my foot! LOL!! I'm a bit of a germaphobe huh?
Originally Posted By TINK-MOBILE I am the same Lady S . I always look for a towel to turn the facet on and off. To leave I always use another towel . ha ha ha foot for me too. There is enough germs thru out every where, some we have to make due with at times, but the wash room, don't want any part of those ones. I too am a bit of germaphoebic person too. Better to be safe than sorry, it amazes me with people that ride the transit system with their kids LS, they let their kids put their mouths on the poles and the seat handles...can't believe it.. Hope you have a nice day LS...see you soon..in Disney....are you planning a meet this year, a few have been planned already now.
