Flushing With Their Feet - Closing With Their Hips

Here's an interesting survey related to restroom cleaning as conducted by the Bradley Corporation and reported in the European Cleaning Journal.

More than half (57 percent) of Americans flush the toilet in public restrooms with their feet, according to a recent study conducted by Bradley Corp.

Bradley Corp.’s sixth-annual handwashing survey queried more than 1,000 American adults about their hygiene habits. Fifty-five percent of respondents stated that they use a paper towel to avoid touching door handles directly, while 45 percent close the door with their hips rather than their hands.

The study also found that while an overwhelming majority of respondents (92 percent) felt that it was important to wash their hands after using the restroom, only 59 percent of men and 75 percent of women said they actually do so.
