THOUSAND OAKS, CA - May 26, 2010 - Sanitation has always been a key
issue with public restrooms and even toilets within the home,
especially those in which a toilet seat must be lifted by hand. A
company called Johnie-Lift, LLC has introduced a new, decorative
toilet seat handle to address this issue.
The Johnie-Lift handle attaches instantly and provides a more sanitary
and convenient way to raise and lower the seat, eliminating any direct
contact. Being able to avoid direct contact with the toilet seat
where the "splash zone" is located reduces contact with and the spread
of germs found in bathrooms. It protects consumers while visiting
public restrooms, household members and anyone that cleans toilets
regularly, either at home or on the job.
Some may have noticed the unique Johnie-Lift handle in stylish hotels,
but now it's also available to households nationwide. And this
couldn't come in a timelier manner. On May 12, 2010, Congress had a
hearing regarding the "Potty Parity" bill, which has to do with the
number of public toilets available for women as opposed to how many
toilets/urinals are available for men. The bill would require the
number of women's toilets to equal or exceed those in men's restrooms
for new federal buildings or those being extensively renovated.
Health concerns about the use of toilets in unisex restrooms were also
discussed, stating these may cause even more spreading of germs when
toilet seats are touched or lifted.
"We have always felt that toilet seats should have been designed with
handles. And as more and more bathrooms become 'Gender Parity'
(otherwise known as unisex), our product will become more important as
the need to raise and lower the seat is increased," states Paul Doyle,
President of Johnie-Lift, LLC.
Doyle says, "Most individuals find it unsettling to touch the seat
and, as a result, it is not raised when it would be appropriate to do
so. Our handle reduces what I call the 'EEEEEWWW' factor."
Both commercial and household consumers will find the handle very easy
to install. It can be instantly applied to the bottom of the toilet
seat on either the right or left side without the need for glues or
screws. The user will simply remove the protective tape from the
handle and press it into place. Once in place, the toilet seat can be
raised or lowered without actually touching the seat.
The Johnie-Lift handle is intended for all households, hotels and
hospitals, and custom handles with company or hotel logos are also
available. For just a few dollars per handle, consumers and
businesses can greatly reduce the spread of germs in restrooms. The
handle is available at select retail stores as well as the
JohnieLift.com Web site. The company also offers corporate sales for
hotel chains and hospitals.
"The American Medical Association has reported that it takes five
consecutive hand washings to remove most of the germs after just one
contact with a toilet seat," Doyle added. "While our product will not
eliminate all germs, it will greatly reduce them as it is outside of
the 'splash zone' of the toilet."
