 Restroom Reminders

1. Never leave the restroom dirty. Smelly toilets are big turn offs. Disinfect and deodorize after
using.
2. Please ensure that the restroom’s door is 100% close all the time.
Note: The restroom’s front door is facing the kitchen and kitchen sink which symbolizes
provisions. According to Feng Shui restroom is a place of waste and you don’t want your
provisions to be sucked. Likewise, scientifically speaking the air inside the restroom is
contaminated with microbes, molds and mildew. Opening the restroom’s door will only
contaminate the dishes and utensils which is unsanitary.
3. Females should always sit on the toilet seat while peeing. Male should always stand a little close
to the toilet seat to avoid dripping.
4. Never forget to use flush once you are done.
5. Make it a point to wash your hand with an antiseptic soap or sanitizer every time you use the
restroom.
6. Do not spit on walls or floor. Use the toilet bowl and then flush it instead.
7. Don’t take much time inside the restroom if it’s not necessary.
8. Make sure you do not throw anything in the commode. Tissue paper must be thrown inside the
dustbin and not anywhere else. Sanitary napkins must be wrapped in polybags and disposed in
dustbins.
9. Do not leave the restroom with faucet on. It is important to conserve water.
10. One should not smoke inside the office toilet. It leads to suffocation.
11. Do not forget to switch off the lights when you leave the restroom.
12. Do not throw unwanted hair or soap wrappers in the washbasin.
13. Share the responsibility in maintaining the restroom by following your cleaning schedule.
