Maybe not quite the same thing, but I recently won an innovation challenge for improving public bathrooms.

I started with what actions people take that make the bathroom as disgusting (pee everywhere, vomit, shoving food in the walls, etc) and then determining defensive mechanisms from there.




Could you please share more about what you have actually come up with?



Yeah, minimalism is great to reduce dirt/dust collection points.

By the way, I think toilets which are attached to the wall instead of to the floor are great because you can easily mop under them.


I like the stealth treatment you apply to the loo to reduce edges. Without wishing to imply my own bathroom needs a clean this would actually be handy in people's homes too (even though generally people are less wayward than they are in public loos)
