Yes I know, I know, I have a fixation with finding clean public washrooms! Call me weird but I know that you're having trouble finding them too!
Remember this?: The Old Dog Asks: Pay Toilet Wars.... Are They Really Worth The Money?
On that occasion I did find a clean public washroom but it was a PAY toilet.
Have I Now Found The World's Cleanest Free Public Washroom?
I think that the answer may be yes but why it's clean might just surprise you! Check out what I experienced this past spring!
First Let's Take A Look at The Location For This Gem of a Washroom!
@lellabird60 and I were hiking up to the top of Monte Brè near Lugano Switzerland. This is the half way point.
The object of our desire was the balcony of the hotel and restaurant over yonder!
Having a nice cool drink here is an awesome pleasure and a great reward after the walk!
Of course after the drink and the hike it was time to use a washroom and we were expecting a cringe worthy experience at this public washroom that's used by hundreds of people a day!
As we approached the doors to this public washroom I was fully expecting the gross meter to have topped out at 10! What a shock to find everything spick and span and in perfect condition!
Why, not only were things clean and shiny but they added some little flowers to make our experience even better!
What Was The Secret to This Washrooms Cleanliness?
These premises are cleaned and maintained by volunteers from the town!
In case you can't read it well here is what it says (the grammar errors are not mine):
"These baths are cleaned by voluntary people. We beg you to respect them and to leave these services as you would like to find them. Many thanks for your kind co-operation."
What a paid cleaning service could never do volunteers from the town have accomplished! Way to go Brè, you just might have the cleanest public washrooms in the whole world! I for one am thankful!
What do You Think?
- Do you have trouble finding clean public washrooms?
- Are you surprised that volunteers are cleaning the facilities in this tourist town?
- Do you feel that this is a new and unique solution?

I heard the consensus for clean public toilets are Japan.
Kudos to the Japanese football team who cleaned up after their last match.
BTW, "payed" should be "paid"
I've never been there but I can believe it. Thanks, I've payed er paid for my mistake!
You're welcome. :-)
Even if the washrooms weren't pleasant I think it would have been worth it to have such a wonderful hike with those stunning rooms @kus-knee.
Clean washrooms were a bonus! 😊
In answer to your questions:
Yes. Pretty much everywhere.
Very surprised it's not a job I would want to volunteer for.
Yes, but I don't feel tourist places, such as where I live should have to rely on volunteers.
The public toilets in my area are pretty disgusting and only to be used when you have no other choice. Also, there are not enough of them. 😢
The volunteer aspect is so unusual. Hopefully when people see that it's clean and tidy they respect the goal of keeping it that way.
That was my thought too @kus-knee and, I would imagine that you might get a more responsible type of person in such a place! 😁
I think this is very a big problem in every country....public toilets are so dirty...cleaning your public toilets is very important to keep a good level of hygiene of health...The following needs to be include the following activities.
1 Check stock of toilet Paper..
2 Check stock of Paper towels..
3 Check stock of soap..
4 Check stock hand Lotion..
5 Check stock of air freshener..
6 wipe sink and fittings..
7 wipe mirror..
8 Check and wips toilets..
9 Pick up litter..
10 Empty bins..
11 Mop floors..
Great list!
Thanks dear
I have to say I have never seen a faucet with a larger drop!!! WOW!
Sadly I am still finding many of these cramped up ones, where the spout is right next to the back wall of the sink!
Yes the drop is normal for that era here in Switzerland. My home is from the 60's and it's similar.
Your example does look cramped.
What a beautiful place! I would expect no less from the people who live in such a pristine and clean setting! Looks like they respect the land as well as their structures. I can only hope visitors are as respectful and clean up after themselves. I've found that most don't respect "it " unless it's theirs............
Yes cleanliness is culturally engrained here.
Most Common Bathroom Problems that i faced in my life.
I know, I know!
Solution of these problem is necessory like we breath.
Nice
I'm Happy to see you found that was impossible to found :P
Many many congratulations.
LOL yes true!
It's the most clean washroom i have ever seen! Amazing Hospitality.
It is amazing!
Don't you kidding me!
I just can't believe it's a public washroom, Public washroom here in my country are not even watchable!
I'm happy for you!
I'm happy for me too!
Nice experience @kus-knee

May be it will good policy,, thank..s
Thanks!
A major problem that faced almost everybody. Dirty and smelly bathrooms causes the germs. Leakage and poor ventilation is main cause of it. keeping the public toilets clean is for all of us but there are people who are rough disasters that we care about destroying
True
The cleanest and very beautiful toilet rooms I saw in Egypt, where there were floating flowers and it was so cute! I like your post and a good trip! Thank you for sharing @kus-knee!
Thank you!
Here is what beauty, do you like such flowers in the bathroom?
Yes a like beauty and cleanliness!
To find cleaned bathroom is a difficulte. Leaky and slow shower head makes bathroom smelly and dirty. Poor ventilation causes the smell in bathroom. So awarness about bathroom ckeaning should by teaching at school level.
That's a good idea.
@kus-knee,
Yeah this is a surprise to me! In my country, I think no one is willing to do that volunteer! So, this is pretty amazing and great concept indeed!
Cheers~
Yes it is!
Man that’s like the rolls Royce of public bathrooms ! I often find that it’s not only the location that matters when you travel, equally important, or maybe even more important are the people living there.
True!
I always find it difficult to find a clean public washroom. Good to see you could at least find one that stands out.
It seems almost impossible
Hi, if you were really lucky enough to find a clean public bath, in fact, your tour looks fantastic. I hope you enjoyed it.
Haha yes I enjoyed it. I like cleanliness
just like you do not like dirty bathrooms is unpleasant, there is no need to do the necessities in a good bathroom that does not cause it to be dirty and smelly, how lucky you are to find it
keeping the public toilets clean is for all of us but there are people who are rough disasters that we care about destroying
This is a really amazing place, my friend, I would love to visit him someday
Yes it was a gem. I always try and clean up when I use a washroom!
that's the attitude so that everything works and stays always clean, if we were all like that the world would be another
WWell it's a big problem finding a clean public toilet, but it's really nice to see a well maintained and clean toilet in Bré, it's great to see volunteers paying attention on this issue.
Amazing!
It is really a privilege to have found the clean public bathroom, to which I have never been. In your photo it looks very impeccable.
It was !
Very nice....I am surprised to read about neat and clean wash rooms.this will be a splendid experience for me if I could find these neat wash rooms in my country.we do have this facility in our country but we often have to pay and those wash rooms are not so clean.
It is amazing!
I think it is the effect of rising inner individuality of people.If this attitude of humanity spread around the world,the world turns into a heaven for all,voluntarism is great power.Thanks for sharing this great message.
You are right!
I have heard of this concept before. However here in America volunteerism it's not nearly as alive as folks value their time sadly some folks would rather pay for the service rather than volunteer. I definitely great idea though and I see the benefits. Perhaps we could take this a step further instead of paying taxes to your city one could volunteer their time. Thanks again for sharing a great post @kus-knee
Yes quite cool!
First of all i 'd like to say that the place seems very beautiful this season. Hope one day i'll be able to visit it.
To the subject now. VOLUNTEERS ? REALLY ? Could never imagine that there could be a place in the world with this culture on this sector ! We are talking about public washrooms ! Well done @kus-knee , this article was a prototype !
Yes I was very surprised as well!
definitely looks like the big change begins with the small steps if that its that should be implemented on a massive scale too :)
If we all cared....problem solved!
Amazing post @kus-knee , you always shear different interesting post to other.
I appreciate your kind words!
@ kus-knee Before entering the subject of the baths, I can not stop admiring these beautiful photographs that you have taken, a lovely place to visit.
In my country Argentina It is not very common to find clean public toilets, nobody takes care of anything.
I'm not surprised to see the limousine baths made by the community, that place is touristy, people respect tourists and try to provide them with pleasant and pleasant visits, including bathrooms
Many thanks to share these beautiful images
I wish you a beautiful weekend
It is a beautiful place and the people work hard to keep it that way!
If my greetings are about your new invention, finding a common bathroom is a problem. Actually, they are doing a great service for the city and for the cleaning of workers. There are no two talk about this.
It is very rare!
Beautiful view of the top of Monte Brè. And he's right @kus-knee nowadays it's almost mission impossible to get a clean public bath but the need makes us use it. The cleaning of this bathroom that you mentions is due to the note they put on the wall where he says to leave this bathroom as you would like to find it.
Even if you do not believe it, a simple note can make you act differently, since it says something similar to these "Do not do what you do not like that they do to you".
The natives of Monte Brè are very obedient when it comes to keeping everything clean and tidy.
Yes perhaps the sign helps.
What an awesome find! In all my travels, I think, maybe, perhaps I have found three or four public washrooms that I would call clean. I guess I set my standards too high. The worst bathroom ever was a public washroom in a hospital!
What you write about a hospital I have also seen! Terrible!
it is very beautiful! enjoy traveling
GREAT, lovely washroom🤗
