Don't tell me my love letter to ajossi gets deleted but this remains.

This ought to remain because the sanitation standards that are clearly observable are major contributors to the spread of disease. This isn't racist or "offensive" this is a fact. Bleach and mop buckets are rarely used in public buildings such as schools and subways.

The attempted humor in the poll is not too far from the truth.

The xenophobia and racism demonstrated in the current hysteria over the flu is misplaced. Koreans should be scrutinizing anyone that has traveled recently.. not just the dirty foreigners.

Public health could be improved greatly with just basic things such as using bleach and clean mops.

I would love to read your love letter though!

back home I use Lysol in the water to mop the floors, maybe some spic&span. gives a nice clean smell as well.

when I came here I couldn't find any kind of detergent or disinfectant that one would use - I scanned all the bottles and boxes as closely as I could - I was in an Emart - finally I tried to communicate with an employee about what I was looking for - making motions about mopping/cleaning the floor while standing in the aisle with the cleaning supplies, then opening my arms and pointing and saying what?

all she could do was laugh.

was not a good experience for me, to say the least.

I finally gave up and later asked my adult students about cleaning the floor and they said they just used water, nothing more. I just said "oh" and concealed how shocked I was - especially given the multitude of other cleaning supplies on the market it just seemed so odd, and quite frankly, ignorant.

there's been multiple threads about this, btw.

yeah, bleach is about all we have here. lysol would be nice but don't see it anytime soon. don't know why K doesn't come up w/its own version. maybe the thought of having to use a disinfectant on floors would conflict w/their notions about sitting on it all the time? playing with their feet? who knows...

You guys are totally missing the parkery point.

We don't need no stinkin' spic n span.
