What's in a Good Toilet?
To me, the role model toilet so far seems to be the YFC toilet at EH. It is no posh hotel toilet but it is still a pleasant toilet. For those of you who's been there, you know what I mean. So what's a good toilet?

A good toilet is a good toilet is a good toilet.
1) It has no foul smell. In fact it smells pleasant. Try Haze. There shouldn't be an overpowering artificial fruity smell that fails to mask the horrible odour beneath it. NO Smoking in the toilet please. No cigarette butts in the toilet bowl either.
* To Smokers: Please QUIT SMOKING altogether. It's unhealthy, uncool and inconsiderate. And you smell like smoke no matter how hard you try to mask it with perfume or deodorant. I've sat beside enough pleasant-looking people who ruined their image with that smoky smell on the bus... and meet enough people in toilets trying to spray deodorant and mask that smoky odour unsuccessfully. Imagine overpowering perfume with hints of cigarette smoke...*
2) It is dry and clean. No puddles of water blackened with muddy footprints.
3) It is well-lit.
4) It has taps and flushes that work well.
5) It has mirrors that are clean.
6) There is good ventilation.
7) There is sufficient toilet paper for everone.
8) The hand-drier works without making funny noises and emmiting suspicious burning smells.
9) It is peaceful and quiet.
10) There is a rubbish bin that is large enough to contain most of the rubbish and keep unsightly things out of sight.
11) The doors work. The hinges don't screech. The doors can be locked properly and easily unlocked as well. Nobody wants to be stuck in the toilet.
12) The toilet bowl is in good shape with toilet seats that are not wet or cracked.
12) No graffiti. None of those nonsense phone numbers and vulgarities. If you feel like drawing tortoises in rebellion, take your art somewhere else. Try the nearby community centre for the children's art competition or go high-tech and try Adobe Photoshop.
13) X-Factor. X-factor refers to the people who use the toilet. If these people use the toilet with a heart, we'd all have clean toilets.

A good toilet is a good toilet is a good toilet.
