World Toilet Day, organised each year on 19 November by the World Toilet Organisation, is a day to celebrate the importance of sanitation and raise awareness for the 2.6 billion people (nearly half of the world's population) who don't have access to toilets and proper sanitation.
In a survey commissioned especially for World Toilet Day, Toilet Twinning lifted the lid on Britain's toilet habits and found that 78% of Britons fail to clean their toilets as often as they should and a shocking 2.4 million people only bother to wipe round the bowl when it is visibly dirty. Eew! Kim Woodburn, presenter of Channel 4’s How Clean Is Your House? says “In the average household of two adults, two children, with one bathroom, the toilet should be cleaned once per day.”
We also found Brits are so attached to their phones that one-in-four take them to the loo – to chat, text, email or update Facebook and Twitter!
