Handwashing Day: 23% of Men Are Cool Leaving Restrooms Without Washing Their Hands

In a new survey, 77% of Americans say they see other people leave restrooms without washing their hands.

 

 

As usual, men are the biggest culprits.  85% of women report "always" washing their hands in public restrooms, compared with 77% of men.

 

 

45% of people admit to sometimes rinsing with only water, no soap.  And yes, men are more likely than women to skip the soap.

 

 

Also:  75% of fathers are satisfied that their kids wash their hands enough, but only HALF of mothers agree.

 

 

Overall, 93% of Americans say handwashing IS important to maintaining their health.  And generally, handwashing IS more common now than it was before the pandemic.

 

 

Of course, there are times when bathrooms are so gross that you can't wait to leave.  84% of people say that "unclean or unpleasant restrooms" give them a negative feeling about the business.

 

 

60% of people say they use a paper towel as a shield with doors and faucets . . . 43% operate the toilet flusher with their foot . . . 37% "hover" over the toilet seat rather than sitting directly on it . . .

 

 

30% open and close doors with their backside or a foot . . . and 27% operate paper towel dispensers with their elbow, if possible.
