Description
- The present invention relates to disposable sanitizing wipes to clean area between toilet tank and floor. The invention is comprised of sanitizing wipes 21 inches long by 2 inches wide pre-moistened with disinfectant to kill germs when used to floss toilet.
- You use the wipes to floss back and forth between toilet and tank and toilet and floor killing germs that cause odor and illness.
- Any small area would benefit from being cleaned and flossed with Pottyfloss.
- Disposable sanitizing wipes to clean area between toilet tank and toilet and the area between the toilet and the floor.
- As unpleasant as it may seem, public and private toilets are rife with germs and bacteria. According to a report filed by the American Medical Association (AMA), touching a toilet just once can leave enough germs and bacteria on the skin, that hands must be washed at least five to six times consecutively, just to get rid of the majority of these harmful agents. Easily thriving on hands, these germs and bacteria are also easily deposited onto the legs and buttocks. Realistically, few people, if anyone, would have time or even consider showering five or six times after using the restroom. Most public toilets are a breeding ground for microscopic fecal coli for, potentially dead for of the E. Coli virus. In fact, the AMA also reports that as many as 25 percent of people leave the restroom with traces of fecal coli form (usually E. Coli) on their bodies. Furthermore, it has been found that the common cold and influenza are easily transmitted from one person to the next, via the public toilet. While anyone can be exposed to illness from contact with a contaminated toilet, elderly persons, those suffering with immune deficiency diseases, chemotherapy patients, pregnant women, young children, and people with diabetes are particularly susceptible to these germs and bacteria.
