Re: toilet rolls
Etiquette dictates the paper hangs away from the wall, not against it.

Re: toilet rolls
Where I work, we get and use 2 pallets a month of toilet rolls. Each pallet contains 54 packets of mini-jumbo`s. 108x12 rolls=1296. Thats a lot of rolls. Cost per month= £2484. When it comes to paper towels, its even more expensive.

Re: toilet rolls
If you look at toilet rolls printed with crosswords, jokes, etc they are all designed to hang away from the wall.

In public loo`s where the large holders are on the cubicle walls, the holder should be on the left with the dangling loo roll nearest to the person sitting on the loo and not the furthest away. Believe it or not, people where I work do complain when the roll is the wrong way round. |
I'm afraid that as a customer who holds no NVQ's in cleaning but many years of experience of using these types of facilities I have to disagree with this.
Having just been for a dump & used an industrial sized roll that is sideways on, given that these are usually fitted with thier screws in the same place that a normal roll holder is fitted (IMO the wrong place to fit them).
IMO it is in fact easier to remove the paper from the side nearest the door (furthest away from you), as it involves less turning of the torso & arm manipulation to get to it.  (or it is in the bogs where I work).
So if someone has a back problem (as I curently do as will others) this can cause discomfort yet I see no discomfort in the other way.
Of course, its different wherever you go as different holders are fitted in different locations by different people & we all have different requierements of them, ideally they dispense paper as & when required, of the requiered number of sheets without undue damage to the paper.
Another question in the same sort of topic, at work do you have 1 door to your bogs or is there a 2nd one just after?
Oh this is fun..

Re: toilet rolls
Not really, there has not been much point to many of the topics in this forum recently.

Funny you should ask. We`ve got 4 sets of public loo`s. On 2 sets we`ve got double doors and the other 2 we havent. On the 2 that have double doors the first door is wedged open. Why do you ask?

Re: toilet rolls
Because I am very used to finding a double set of doors in loos, especially in factories etc.
I have a feeling that this was some form of building regulation, perhaps to act as a privacy or smell barrier sort of thing.
However,the new extension at my factory has a single door which means that a passer by can see right into the loos when someone is going in/out.
Apart from a wierd chance for someone to perve I dont think its right, a passer bye can see right into the mens cubicles when the door is not shut & often when someone goes into it for a pee they might not shut the cubicle door.
The same for the womens (but they shut the cubicle doors).
Just making this thread even worse than it is & talking toilets again..lol
