A toilet-seat cover is a disposable piece of paper shaped like the toilet seat itself that can be placed on the seat by its user. Its purpose is to protect the toilet's user from germs that may be resting on the seat by creating a protective barrier.
Sanitor Mfg: NeatSeat Toilet Seat Covers
Sanitor Mfg Co. began producing toilet-seat covers and dispensers in 1931. They are a toilet-seat cover manufacturing company in the United States. The NeatSeat toilet-seat covers are designed to be environmentally friendly, completely water soluble, and safe for all plumbing systems. NeatSeat dispensers have an exclusive way of dispensing so there is no tugging, tearing, or unfolding required. The toilet-seat cover goes from the dispenser to the toilet-seat with no extra work involved. NeatSeats have a unique attribute - the center section is die cut and will automatically be pulled down the drain when the toilet is flushed.
Use
While toilet-seat covers give public toilet users a sense of security, studies have shown they do not necessarily protect a toilet user from disease. For example, if a toilet user is negligent enough to place a toilet-seat cover while the seat is still wet with liquid waste the fluids can soak through the cover and make contact with the user.[1]
Versions
In 2007, businesswoman Jacquie Edwards of Newtonmore developed a biodegradeable toilet seat cover.[2]
In 2008, Mulundu Mulijo of Uganda invented a toilet-seat cover that can be flushed like toilet paper after each use.[3]
Laws
In 2009, legislators in Maine rejected legislation that would have required toilet-seat covers be placed in all restrooms. The bill was referred to the Committee on Health and Human Services, but eventually filed without further action being taken to enact the law.[4]
