Daycare Toilet Causing Contact Dermatitis

I would use a bleach water mix spray and wipe with a cloth. Most research shows that as long as toilet seats are kept cold germs will not stay or grow on a seat even public toilet seats are safe to sit on.

Is that a reg in some states, that the toilet has to be cleaned sanitized after every use? I've never heard of that. We of course are supposed to clean and sanitize at the end of the day or if its soiled, but not between every kid at potty time.

I don’t see it in the regs for centers in Texas. It’s not in the regs for homes. I clean mine daily during nap, and if I have a spare minute I’ll do a quick swipe with a disinfecting wipe at other times.

I think spraying with Lysol after every child is unnecessary.

Mine says "To prevent cross-contamination surfaces shall be cleaned with a disinfectant and dried with a single-use disposable towel between each use."

The sink: "Any sink that is used for handwashing after diapering or toileting must be sanitized BEFORE the sink is used for ANY other purpose(s). This practice prevents the germs that are associated with diapering and toileting from being spread to other classroom materials and surfaces."

We just got the pass to use commercial EPA approved disinfectants in place of mixing bleach water daily.

"A cleaning solution such as soapy water is used to clean a surface by removing visible residue or debris. A sanitizing solution such as bleach water actually kills germs and disease-causing organisms. For sanitizers to be effective the solution should be used on a visibly clean surface and must be allowed to air dry before being wiped away – two minutes is the recommended amount of time."

Havent read all the comments---
sure it's Lysol, and not having dampness on the tush?

My son will get it sometimes, he's not much older. We don't Lysol his butt, LOL.
