Awesome Restroom Idea!

I went to the Nordstrom department store bathroom at Ala Moana shopping center this summer. No, I don't normally shop at Nordstrom. I was there with my daughter and granddaughter. My usual place to shop is Ross or Walmart.

Well, I might venture out to Nordstrom again after seeing their bathroom


They actually provide tissues by the doorway so that you can use one to hold the handle and then throw it away in that bin below.

You might think that this is unnecessary, but just the other day I saw someone at another mall come out of the toilet stall and head straight out the exit.

In fact, I saw this on Microsoft news:  "One study even found that only 31 percent of men and 65 percent of women washed their hands after using a public restroom, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reports."

It might be a waste of more tissues, but would hand sanitizers outside the bathroom be better? I don't know. Whatever the case, I thought this was a cool idea.

  1. Great idea. I use my left hand to open the door with as few fingers as possible. I think the men's figures are off from what I see in washrooms. Most men do wash in my experience.

  2. Why not use the same paper towel you dried your hands with?!!
    We waste so much. I just don't know.

  4. This is perfect. Maybe instead of Walmart, try shopping at Nordies Rack. :)

  5. I usually use the one I dry my hands with but there is rarely a convenient place to put it once I have opened the door.

  6. I also use the same one I used to dry my hands. Many places these days have a receptacle near the door just for this reason. ;-)

  7. You sometimes have to acrobatic to open the door and get rid of the paper towel.

  8. This is a really great idea, I love it. I always use the one I dry my hands with too. Thanks for sharing this, Kay.

  9. It doesn't shock me women wash their hands more often than men.
