Automatic Restroom Dispensers

From child to adult, we all use a public restroom at one time or other. Schoolchildren probably do this on a daily basis. Adults do this when shopping, travelling, visiting doctors' or dentists' offices, attending theatres, partaking in meetings or seminars, and at a workplace. These examples, and there are more, illustrate how often we do have to use a public restroom. So why should we be concerned? Each time that we must... (posted by Amy 1 year 239 days ago.)
Gardening Hygiene

Gardeners love to get their hands in the soil. That's ok because one can wash the hands when done.

"Look Ma, No Hands"

That old saying "look Ma no hands" takes on another meaning besides riding a bike with no hands. I am referring to the situations that we are offered in our public restrooms. What a great feeling it is to use a public restroom that is equipped with sensor-operated dispensers for the soap, water, and paper towel, automatic toilet flushers, and hands free door openers. The last item can be the most important in avoiding... (posted by Amy 2 years 115 days ago.)
