Japan has a very high regard to hygiene and most of its public places are the living testament to this fact. Those passing by through Narita International Airport in Tokyo will find something interesting in it. Smartphone Toilet Swipes are somethingTokyo encourages people to use for keeping their handsets clean while and after using the toilet.

According to a report from CNN, the idea of using a separate swipe sheet for smartphones was behind one of the country's leading telecommunications company, NTT Docomo. It was part of a recently released video about how Japanese toilets are used properly.

It was also stated in a number of reports, including The Guardian, that the Smartphones are, in fact, more dirty and germ-infested than toilet seats. This was backed by a report from Buzzfeed, stating that smartphones are highly prone to bacteria than toilet seats and it even includes E.coli.

The study, however, shouldn't be a no-brainer given that public toilet seats are regularly cleaned and most smartphones aren't. Studies about toilet seats carrying three types of potential bacteria pales to compare with a normal smartphone's 12.

The dispenser shows an extremely easy step-by-step guide on how to wipe the screen with the sheets. This, apparently, promotes hygiene, which Japan is very keen about. This caught a lot of attention, especially tourists and had their varied reactions, mostly surprised in a good way, over Twitter.

In the current generation, toilets in Japan are some of the most elaborate toilets even when compared with similarly developed nations. Japan is the only country who has something called "Super Toilet" and is also referred to as "Washlet Zoe" It rivals other existing generations and it was even listed in the Guinness World Records as the world's feature-packed toilet. A smartphone toilet wipe is nothing out of ordinary with this fact.
