Just in case you were not sure how to conduct yourself, here is a reminder...

Date: 01/24/2008
Subject: Reminder: Restroom Etiquette

It's been about six months since I've sent out a note about restroom etiquette -- well, if you don't count the one about flushing paper towels. I've gotten a number of complaints about the restrooms during the past week, and with the number of visitors we have to this office including senior management -- it is disappointing to hear.
Please take a minute to read ... and more importantly, adhere to the following:

Do… Tidy up. No one wants to navigate around your mess. Yes, we have cleaning personnel, but a.) it’s rude to make them pick up your trash, etc., and b.) until they come in, your office mates are forced to use a bathroom that is filthy. Throw away your trash, remove any newspapers and/or magazines, wipe up excess water on the countertops, and for goodness sake—don't leave any remnants on the seats.

Do…Flush. And check to make sure everything went down. If in doubt, flush again. The only additional material that should be flushed down the toilet is toilet paper.
Do…Treat it better than your bathroom at home. Perhaps you don’t mind your own mess, but in an office environment, be respectful. Keep the place nice for others, if not yourself.

Thank you for your cooperation
