Description | ||
| The purpose of this experiment was to compare the bacterial content before and after the use of Clorox wipes on the inside and outside door handles of restrooms. I became interested in doing a project on bacteria because I am interested in a career in medicine, biology or microbiology. In addition my mom has taught me about avoiding bacteria in restrooms and encouraged me to use a paper towel instead of my hand to open the door when leaving. I thought it would be good to study this scientifically. The information gained from this experiment affects almost everybody on earth today but it should especially help store and restaurant owners in trying to keep their bathrooms clean. The bacteria on bathroom door handles could possibly cause sickness and disease and needs to be dealt with properly. | ||
