How to deal with community bathrooms?

I am a rising freshman girl and I have community bathrooms. I would like to get tips on how to keep the community toilets and showers clean? Especially the toilets! Do i need to get seat covers and use lysol wipes as well? I need help! Thanks so much!

You’ll want to ask in [this</a> forum](<a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/college-life/]this”>College Life - College Confidential Forums), but you probably don’t need to worry about Lysol and ass-gaskets unless you’re a germaphobe. Many, if not most (hopefully most) colleges have cleaning staff that regularly clean the communal bathrooms. Ideally, everyone on your floor/section of the floor will know how to use a toilet properly. So there shouldn’t be any messes.

You may want to invest in a plunger if they aren’t provided.

Also, avoid bathrooms that guys use (if your floor is co-ed). They are most unpleasant.

Agreed … I wouldn’t worry about the sinks and toilets too much. To me the two biggies are … 1) get some flip flops so you do not walk bear foot in the bathroom … 2) depending on your modesty you might want a big towel (beach towel?) or bathrobe for traveling to and from the bathroom.
