Restaurant Hygiene
June 17, 2009When eating out whether it is in a fast food diner, or a fancy restaurant, keep in mind that germs are left behind by all the previous guests. The menu, especially is really handled. The waiter and other guests have looked at that menu many times. You have to use it too to place your order. So after you return it to the server, use a hand sanitizer before you touch your glass, tableware , or napkin. If you decide to wash your hands in the public restroom remember these tips. After your hands are washed, you need to get a paper towel the touchless way. If the dispenser is not automatic, use your wrist or back of the hand. Exit the restroom without handling the door opener, use your paper towel. Stay healthy and feel secure when you eat out.
Observations While Using Public Restrooms
June 9, 2009
I recently flew to California. While in the airports, I was pleased to see that the soap, faucet, and towel dispensers, as well as the flushers, were all automated. When you combine that with the doorless, S-Curve entry/exit you can feel secure that you did not pick-up all the germs from prior users.
The restrooms in restaurants and stores left me with other impressions. Some had automated soap dispensers or sensor-operated towel dispensers but no hands free door openers. None of them supplied automatic fragrance dispensers
. A fresh fragrance imparts a clean atmosphere.
This is graduation time, so I have used school and college restrooms, and usually nothing is automated. This would be a really important place to avoid cross-contamination since children and young people account for a lot of the spread of illness.
