proper hygiene. With this, it
helps resolve problems like
the health of a person. When,
it comes to public many of us
find to be careless in proper
hygiene when it comes to
bathroom, one of the most
thing, main problems are that
there are few toilets in a
room, which people will wait
for many hours it depends on
number of them, with that
people are now impatient
because of that they are
careless. That is why foldable
toilets are conducted to be
put in public because it is an
environmental product that is
made from composite
materials and it is easy to
transfer because it is
lightweight.
