We all need a break sometimes, whether it’s from our kids, boss, even our furry little friends... So why not take a little respite from it all? And where else, other than behind the sweet, sweet lock of the bathroom door? Let that lock cliiiiick into place and ta-dah: you have peace. And while you’re in there, you deserve the best care. Good bathroom hygiene is important, so how do you remember all the toilet rules? Wall art is an easy way to jog memories, so hang these toilet rules printable to help remind everyone of the bathroom rules. 

1. Close the door.

Now, we know you won’t forget this one – privacy is the whole point. But it’s important to share the first toilet rule with little ones, since it’s about the importance of privacy and respect. Closing the door not only gives the toilet user privacy, but also shows respect to everyone else in the family, by keeping toilet business where it belongs.

2. Wipe from front to back.

One of the most important toilet hygiene rules for personal health and hygiene, wiping from front to back can help with the prevention of UTI infections.

3. Avoid pee splash.

Nothing kills your zen like sitting on a wet toilet seat. When you sit down, positioning yourself correctly over the loo will help pee go where it should. If you stand up to pee, avoiding splash back is all about the angle. Stand as close as possible, and aim carefully.  

4. Clean the toilet seat if necessary.

Even with the utmost care, splashes happen. That’s not a problem though, if you quickly wipe it away. This is another of our toilet rules that’s about showing respect to the other members of your household.

5. Don’t forget to flush.

This is an obvious one, but it can be easy to forget to flush the loo if you’re in a hurry – the washing machine just beeped and those damp clothes won’t hang themselves! But not anymore! Everyone will remember with a bathroom rules sign on the wall.

6. Clean with the toilet brush if necessary.

No one wants to scrub someone else’s mess from the toilet bowl (but of course, we do anyway, so the next person in doesn’t think it’s ours!). An important rule in the toilet is to leave it how you found it, which might mean a quick clean-up job using the toilet brush. Add a little toilet cleaner, scrub the bowl, flush the toilet and replace the brush.

7. Put the toilet seat down.

Everyone is happier when they find the toilet how they like to use it. Putting the toilet seat down is one of the simplest toilet rules to follow and thanks to our printable toilet rules sign.

8. Wash your hands.

Arguably the most important of our bathroom rules for personal hygiene: always remember to wash your hands. Soap, warm water, and a thorough hand washing routine will help keep germs at bay.

9. Replace the toilet roll if necessary.

It’s so frustrating to reach for the toilet roll, only to find one final scrap clinging onto the end of the roll! However, with a toilet rules printable on the wall, and a stash of cushiony Cushelle toilet paper, that tricky situation will be a thing of the past.

With your toilet rules wall art positioned for all to see, you can rest assured that your loved ones will have a gentle reminder of the toilet hygiene rules every time they go – and you’ll have something to read while you hide!
