Howie Clean It: Restroom Edition

October 4, 2022

study by Live Science found that there were 500,000 bacterial cells per square inch on surfaces of public restrooms within an hour of normal use. This is why comedian Howie Mandel and Global Biorisk Advisory Council™ (GBAC), a Division of ISSA, Senior Director Dr. Gavin Macgregor-Skinner sought out to uncover the health risks of the average American restroom in this episode of Howie Clean it.

As part of ISSA’s Rethink What Clean Means campaign, the celebrity neat freak and our cleaning expert joined forces to discover the highlights and setbacks of the standard public restroom. The potential impact of these areas within a company’s cleaning protocol could be widespread and potentially deadly. Raising awareness is the first step to remedying the problem. 

To see Mandel and Macgregor-Skinner flush away bad cleaning techniques, watch the restroom episode of Howie Clean it below.
