Public restrooms are hotspots for germs, with recent COVID evidence showing they can spread pathogens through aerosolized bacteria and viruses during flushing. The high traffic, moisture, and frequent flushing make public toilets particularly risky.
However, with proper sanitation and hygiene practices, you can stay safe. It’s important to follow key hygiene steps rather than avoid public restrooms altogether.
Key Hygiene Tips
• Avoid Touching Surfaces: Use a paper towel to open doors, flush, and turn faucets on/off.
• Wear a Facemask: Especially in crowded or poorly ventilated areas, masks help reduce inhalation of aerosolized pathogens.
• Wash Your Hands: Use soap and water for at least 20 seconds, or hand sanitizer (75% alcohol). Always wash before and after using the toilet—it’s the best practice.
• Use Toilet Seat Sanitizer & Cleaner: Disinfect the seat before use with Bitos Hygiene’s eco+ “Toilet Seat Sanitizer & Cleaner,” which kills 99.99% of germs in just 3 seconds, dries quickly, and leaves the seat fresh and safe.

Easy to use, simply spray onto a toilet roll pad, wipe the seat, and it’s ready for use. These covers create a barrier, protecting you from lingering bacteria or viruses.
Public restrooms are a necessary part of life. When using them, be aware that you may encounter common pathogens. However, by practicing simple actions—washing hands, avoiding touch surfaces, and disinfecting the toilet seat with an alcohol-based solution—you will be safe.
Be Germ Busters: Protect yourself and others, ensuring a safer and healthier experience for everyone.
