Most public washroom visitors avoid using the seat
More than half the people who use public toilets never sit down on the seat for fear of what they might catch, according to a Tork survey.
And 30 per cent of washroom users would like to see either a toilet seat cleaner or a paper cover provided.
“Opinion is divided about what germs can be picked up from a toilet seat, but it seems that most people are not willing to take the risk,” said SCA Tissue Europe product and market manager Charlotte Branwhite.
“Our research shows that as many as 54 per cent of washroom users never sit down on the toilet seat when using a public washroom.”
Tork now offers a toilet seat cleaner as part of its new Tork Hand Cleaning and Care system. Tork Premium Toilet Seat Cleaner can be used in conjunction with toilet tissue to hygienically clean the seat before use. It dries quickly and also helps to neutralise odours.
Conditions that may be transmitted via contaminated toilet seats include SARS, Enteroviruses, scabies, herpes and gonorrhea according to health sources.
Offers reassurance and comfort
“Tork Premium Toilet Seat Cleaner offers reassurance and comfort to the visitor,” said Charlotte. “It will be particularly welcomed in the food and catering sectors where hygiene is extremely important, as well as in the washrooms of offices and hotels plus public toilets in town centres and parks.”
The Tork Hand Cleaning and Care system includes a range of reformulated soaps plus new Tork Premium Alcohol Gel Hand Sanitiser which conforms to EN 1500 and leaves the hands 99.9 per cent bacteria-free.
