Are public toilets cleaned regularly and well?

What a wonderful reason given by the Council for the lack of soap in public toilet facilities - they want to minimise the risk of slipping accidents. (Peninsula News, Edition 496)

In my bathroom, I keep bath oil, body lotion, toothpaste, shampoo and hair conditioner as well as of course soap (both liquid and bars).

Despite this wide selection of slippery liquids, I have always managed to stay upright when walking across the room.

Like most people, I don't wash my bathroom floor every day but I've assumed that public toilets are cleaned at least once a day.

Maybe this is where the problems lie?

Has anyone checked with those facilities mentioned in your article that do provide soap?

Have they reported a large number (or, indeed, any number) of soap-related accidents or do they, as I imagine, clean their facilities regularly and well?
