Have you ever walked into a public restroom at an airport or a restaurant to wash your hands, only to find that no matter how much you rinse and wipe your hands, it seems that you can never completely remove all of the soap? Your hands simply keep lathering again and again every time you rub them after rinsing with water.

It is also not fun believing that the soap is finally removed from one’s hands, only to see it drying up on one’s skin underneath the hot air dryer as the water evaporates.

Has anyone else experienced this?

I realize this topic is minutiae, but it can be slightly annoying, especially if one is in a hurry while traveling.

By the way, what is with that new foaming soap that I am starting to see at more airports?

I like the automated soap dispensers that I am finding more frequently at airports. It never made sense to me to have an automated faucet with a manually-operated soap dispenser or towel dispenser.

The soap in the bathrooms located in the B concourse at the airport in Seattle has a nice coconut scent. That is better than the medicinal smell of some soaps found in other airports.

I hope nobody gets caught up in a lather pertaining to this topic and wanting to bar me from posting on FlyerTalk, but I thought it was time to come clean. After all, what I have described can rub me the wrong way, but perhaps less so to a person with a more bubbly personality.
