Washing hands in public restrooms

Germ Freaks & Germaphobics
Wherever I go now I am meeting people who say they are "germ freaks". I think that sums it up without needing any explanation. The number one concern of those that I questioned were concerned about germs on doorknobs in public restrooms.

Here are some of the ideas and practices that these people use:

1. They take fresh toilet paper and turn or open the knob on the inside of the toilet door.

2. They use antiseptic wipes to open the door.

3. They use a spray antiseptic wash to open the door.

4. Some use their shirt, handkerchiefs, or skirt when in a pinch.

After washing their hands at the public sink they have to contend with the outside door. Almost everyone of them says that they take extra paper to open the door.

A study was just released that said people not washing hands in public restrooms has gone up in the last year. We think that is disgusting! Any ideas what to do about it? Please post here.
