How to make public toilet not so smelly?

[Vhtfhwlego]

i also feel / remember the same.... really wonder why they stop using the drain types.... and side-benefit: can practise random shooting from one side to the other side, the stainless sheet in front is wide enough for the practice!!

I not too sure about yours but when mine mets the stainless sheet, the pressure will sent it everywhere

[Good-Carbuyer]

main culprits are men who drips when they pee........

 

how to stop this?

 

this is not joking..... lets start with the urinals chosen for the toilets.

 

some urinals really cmi..... too small and any drips sure land on the floor, and become smelly

 

there are basically a few types of urinals, which you used and found more drip-proof than the others?

 

1. old school common urinals in stainless steel, one long longkang everyone can see next guys' didi... but the 'drain' catches the drips quite well (but i think no more liao, even SAF camps also not using this)

 

2. individua "box type" hanged from the wall, open front, with a little 'lip' sticking out in front trying to catch the drips... quite useless

 

3. the moden individaul oval (egg-shape) type, also hanged from wall, i find this type catches the drips quite well (my vote goes to this)

 

4. the full height individual urinal which sits on the floor, we pee all the way down into its 'catchment' on the ground.... quite rare nowadays

 

5. other types?

 

maybe they should introduce a drip-sensor ---- anyone drips, he gets water jet shoot at his face from the wall.... this way he will aim and shoot properly

 

maybe the urinal should be shaped like a xmm's open mouth, then the guy insert his didi and shoot, sure no drips on the floor, not smelly toilet... ??

There are two basic problems to be managed:-

First: odour from unrine even when dried up as stains

Second: odour from urine vapour float upwards as warm air lighter than colder air

The types of ventilation currently available are not meant for odour evacuation

The types of urinals currently available are not meant for odourless performance

The Sanitary Plumbing practices today often left out odour management, for one reason or another

Exisiting building designs are not meant to have odourless toilet

Perhaps only solution left: engage me to renovate the place

those kopitiams or food center must have their toilets hygiene standards up.can some NEA or authorities go stand by area them?if no meet standards then confine the shop owners in the toilets for the weekend.

unless they create a elite-toilet-expert post, else not worth working for MOH...

 

better than giving your ideas here for free??? at least has some pay...

To solve half of the problem - just revert to long kang type urinals and squatting type toilet bowl. Easy for cleaners to maintain also. Anyway, anyone here sits on public toilet bowl? Even my house one, I also don't. I do half-squatting position since I spend 1 min and lesser for big business. Aim and shoot, flush off, clean and hygienic.

 

I am surprised people can read newspaper in toilet!!!

yes.. i also think the long kang type is good..

one thing about the toilet bowl.. i think the sitting type caters for everyone, as some people with certain conditions cannot squat.

Maybe cause people nowadays become more shy, they cannot pee standing so close to each other?!

Replace the urinal with a tree, problem solved.

The tree will topple one day with so many urine around its roots, so must practise either 1 hand or 1 leg leaning against the tree ....

 

That's why Sun Yu says more 'dogs' in SG ...

Usually run in, quickly do your stuffs, wash and run out immediately.

However 2 years ago I went to Pulau Payar, the toilet near the shore is like..... Can't stand the smell even from the outside. Luckily, got no "business" to do.

think they also have "bacteria bags" on the urinals to eat up those foul-causing germs.

Iioniser also no use if the urinate got drip on the floor.
