Amtrak Watcher
Lead Service Attendant
I have a sensitive question, which the moderator may –at his discretion- delete from the forum without offense. Here goes.
The toilets on long Superliner trips can get rather raunchy, a situation not helped with the warm weather and the recent cutbacks in service staff. So, as I try to do my personal best to keep things nice, does anyone know of a way to use the facilities in such a way that (how can I say this…) no lingering evidence of my presence remains after a flush? The surface of the toilet bowel seems a bit too rough for satisfactory cleanliness.
So far, the only technique that seems to work (but only intermittently) is to use one of the little paper cups available in the restroom to fill the bowl with about a pint of water before attending to my personal affairs.
