Flight attendants have revealed that the bathroom is the most unhygienic area on a plane. Therefore, when you need to use this space, it's essential to be informed and take necessary precautions to safeguard your health and well-being.
Properly open the bathroom door

The green light signals that the bathroom is unoccupied
Previously, some flight attendants shared that what frustrates them the most is when passengers can't open the bathroom door on their own. Witnessing the passengers' confusion and struggles, attendants often have to assist with opening the door, leading many passengers to mistakenly believe that this is part of the crew's duties. In reality, opening the bathroom door is much easier than you think – simply approach the door and press the PUSH button, and the door will open immediately.
Moreover, wise passengers have found ways to protect themselves from germs starting with opening the bathroom door: instead of directly touching the door with their hands, they use a tissue to create a safe distance for their hands. This is because the bathroom door is touched by many people and is only cleaned after each flight, making it a breeding ground for bacteria and a potential health hazard.
Always remember to lock the door after entering the bathroom

Don't forget to lock the door when you enter the bathroom
When using the bathroom, be sure to lock the door to prevent anyone from accidentally opening it without knowing.
To lock the door, look for the latch located on the door (the latch is at eye level). Simply slide the latch to the left and try pulling the door. If the door doesn't open, you have successfully locked it, ensuring the bathroom is secure so you can use it without worrying about someone entering.
Avoid using toilet paper on the plane

The toilet paper in the bathroom poses several risks that you should be aware of
Not all airlines provide high-quality toilet paper on their planes. As a result, many types of toilet paper are of poor quality and dissolve quickly when wet. Therefore, it’s a good idea to use your own tissues instead of the airplane's toilet paper.
Additionally, the toilet paper in the airplane bathroom is often placed at a low height, making it prone to dirt from the aircraft's movements and other passengers using the bathroom. This reduces its cleanliness and reliability for use.
Always close the toilet lid before flushing
To prevent water, dirt, and other debris from splashing around when flushing, remember to cover the toilet seat and press the button located on the right side of the toilet. Perform this action slowly, as the force from pressing the button will create a gust of wind and noise that could startle you or any children nearby.
It is especially important to remember that you should never throw trash into the toilet, as this could cause the flushing system to clog.
Hopefully, with these tips in mind, you can ensure a safe and enjoyable flight by paying attention to even the smallest details. Additionally, for the smoothest and most cost-effective journey, feel free to contact Mytour's customer service at 1900 2083 for helpful and effective guidance.
