Why are most public toilets particularly dirty?

The main thing is that there is no money. If the space is not large enough and the space is small, the air circulation will not be smooth, resulting in an unpleasant smell. And if there are too many people, the speed of cleaning cannot keep up. Go and see the toilets at the train station, attractions, overcrowded.

Most foreign countries do not need to squat pits, and the toilet will not be too dirty, and the domestic toilet is always very dirty. If the toilet is dirty, use the squatting pit, the squatting pit is too small, all kinds of leakage, many people do not flush, the squatting pit is usually difficult to keep clean and need to be cleaned frequently, just so that people's butts do not need to touch the dirty place.

Whether the public toilet is dirty or not, the daily management level is a more important factor. China does not invest much in the management of public toilets, for example, for example, public toilet cleaners in big cities earn only about 2,000 yuan a month, and in small cities they may only receive a few hundred yuan a month. Even so, the salary is not always available.

There is a kind of [broken window heart] in public places, Chinese have a [fear] of toilets and garbage, Chinese bring covers to mobile phones, bring covers to remote controls, wax car films, but never care whether their toilets are clean and elegant, technology, they feel that going to the toilet is painful, but they can "endure a moment of calm", get by, this is a kind of [ostrich mentality].

In addition to financial investment and management problems, there are some special reasons for the dirty and smelly public toilets in China. Squatting toilets are one of the sources of odors, and squatting pits are more likely to emit odors than toilets. In the past, squatting toilets were used in Japan, but today public toilets in Japan are widely used, which is one of the reasons why Japanese public toilets give a clean impression.

Public toilets are generally not clean. Even though there are relatively few people who use public toilets, public toilets that are not cleaned frequently are still very dirty. On the other hand, McDonald's toilets, which replace public toilets all year round in China, can be kept clean even though there is a constant flow of people entering and leaving the toilet every day.

In order to save water and electricity, public toilets reduce the frequency and amount of water flushed, and air fresheners and deodorants are rarely used. The cleaning equipment is not good enough, a few mops, a few brushes are enough, and in some places it is directly flushed with a faucet.

I also think it's a matter of consciousness. In Japan, even small convenience stores can be found everywhere with a wide variety of detergents and deodorants, while in China, there are not many types of toilet products and deodorant productsI have to say that the Japanese toilet cleaner smells good and not pungent, the packaging is also pleasing to the eye, and the products are designed to be easy to operate, such as Kao's foam spray gun toilet cleaner. And China's toilet cleaner can't smell and doesn't look good.

The temperature of the toilet is high, there is very little air conditioning, and if the temperature is high, especially in summer, the bad smell comes out. Many toilets have a toilet paper basket, which is also a source of odor.

One place that feels dirty is the toilet paper in the paper basket. Many tourists throw used toilet paper into the paper basket next to the toilet bowl when they play. The main thing is the fear of clogging the sewers.

In the past, there was not enough toilet paper, and it was common to replace it with coarse straw paper and napkins, which were not as water-soluble as toilet paper specifically designed for toilets. Even now, many public toilets do not provide specialized toilet paper.

Ordinary people and public services do not have a rational attitude and rational treatment of toilets and garbage disposal in their thinking, nor do they pay attention to consciousness, and they feel that going to the toilet and throwing garbage is filthy, not worth mentioning, just throw it away, and then hide far away, eager to get involved in it again, and even if it is not dirty, it will be dirty, and the psychology feels that it is a filthy place anyway, and it doesn't matter if it is dirty.
