Embracing Bathroom Hygiene
Bathrooms are often neglected despite being pivotal in our daily hygiene routines. Many people assume that a necessity doesn't need much attention. Psychologists suggest our discomfort with dirt leads to tension, which can manifest in habits like singing or reading in the bathroom. Dylan Thomas humorously suggested that novels should be serialized on toilet paper to give toilet readers literary credentials.
Traditionally, the bathroom has been a place where the battle between dirt and cleanliness takes place, yet it occupies an ambiguous role in human development. While the need for hygiene is acknowledged, effective techniques have often been awkwardly developed.
In the Christian world, there's been a historical ambivalence towards dirt. While Christianity preached that cleanliness is next to godliness, it also associated dirt with purity of the soul. This resulted in past neglect of personal hygiene, further challenged by factors like limited water access and cold climates. For example, in Elizabethan England, nobles rarely bathed and relied heavily on perfumes. Defecation occurred in pots kept indoors, leading to customs like women walking farther from windows to avoid waste being dumped.
For centuries, Europe used bidets for post-toilet cleaning. However, the rise of toilet paper, especially in the U.S., has led to less hygienic practices that continue today. Cornell Professor Alexander Kira points out the irony of people complaining about a stain on a tablecloth while ignoring their own soiled clothing. Water is unparalleled as a cleansing medium, respected in many cultures, from Christian baptisms to Hindu holy dips in rivers. The bathroom should prioritize the use of water for cleansing.
The Path to Better Hygiene
Today, our understanding of pathogens has revolutionized our approach to hygiene. Bathrooms are central to a healthy lifestyle, where we dispose of what's unnecessary. As civilized individuals, we must use appropriate materials for bathroom hygiene.
Next time you think of cleaning up, remember the value of water. Don't hesitate to get your hands wet and dry them properly with hand dryers or paper towels. Embrace this simple yet powerful step towards better hygiene and wellbeing.
