Self-Cleaning Public Toilets in Paris | Toronto Needs These!

[@Kaisersozze]

God that looks awful. I was expecting it to be spotless. At least there wasn't a dead body in there.

[@ChattieCathie]

Same

[@shizukagozen777]

This is honestly one of the worst I've ever seen. Usually they're pretty clean, no shoes left in the corner, no nothing. 😅😂😂

[@richarddiaz9699]

That was a quick guided tour of Paris 😆 and very interested one, a public toilet. To tell the truth, thats looks dirty and gross. Anyway, hope you have a great time and catch you on the next one. 😄

[@LSOP-]

Toronto used to have a lot of public toilets. The francophone school at Danforth and Broadview was toilets. There's a pair of under ground toilets at queen and Broadview who's entrances were just paved over. There were many like that throughout Downton. Public bathrooms were one of the fews places members of the same sex could be alone so they mostly were closed due to gay panic.

[@devinsullivan6160]

Yea, anything that "automatically cleans" itself is going to get ignored and fall into disrepair. All for free public toilets, but somebody has to take care of them

[@shizukagozen777]

Someone does take care of them: the employees of the company clean the toilets and refill all the toilet paper, soap, and do some other stuff every day. 🤦‍♀️

[@lazerlayne]

The ones we have in Toronto are way cleaner and better...!!!!

[@shizukagozen777]

Toilets in Paris arw usually pretty clean. This one is a special case...

[@marge2127]

Thanks for sharing your latest adventure

[@Mike.T.]

That was really disgusting in there.

[@shizukagozen777]

That is Pigalle: lots of bars, EX shops, and other stuff you don't want to know about so yeah, drunk people or worse usually don't leave clean places...

[@darleneaitken1620]

Toronto's will be full of used syringes within a week, and the door locks broken.

[@Popeslash]

The tech is well designed in many places. Yes we need public self clean bathrooms.

[@jennykreutzkamp5251]

As someone who makes her living by cleaning toilets and washrooms... hard nope on this.....but thanks for sharing.. Question, does the TP change itself then and is it in the right direction lol

[@gabygaedecke2411]

These have been in Berlin for almost 20 years. They are generally MUCH cleaner than this one was - the wash cycle sprays the walls and floor very thoroughly. Have only been inside two of them though - so cannot vouch for all of them.

[@Apd766]

The ones in Paris only power wash the floor and the toilet.

[@polishtheday]

We have some in Montreal at Papineau Station, Chinatown, Parc Émilie-Gamelin and maybe Old Montreal. I think they installed a total of four. I used one and, other than my dog being freaked out by the noise (he was with me on a walk when we came across it), it was great. I’m not sure I’d use it if I was by myself because who would you notify if there was a malfunction and you were stuck inside.

[@nic12344]

There's a emergency button that you can push to unlock the door. Our self-cleaning toilets are much higher quality than those in Paris and I wish we had more of these, because the public restrooms in many of Montreal's parks are often filthy, although I've seen an improvement in the last years (I think they ramped up the cleaning schedule because of Covid). But at the same time, with a cost of $1 million, I understand why there are so few...

[@michaelfarrell1891]

Toronto has, well, one of these. It's on the Martin Goodman Trail around Dowling, about 10 feet east of the tennis courts. Twenty-five cents last time I checked.

[@SilverFox_487]

They did have individual super clean pay toilets in Paris in the late 1970s. I've never seen a more grotesque toilet in my life! 🤢

[@charlieleone]

We should have this self cleaning toilet in Toronto, Thank you for sharing 😂

[@rundown132]

Would get vandalized within the day

[@wl03bu]

We do, but like everything in the City they break all the time.

[@saramartin4135]

Vancouver has them, they are fabulous!!

[@drregmonster4371]

Part of the Johnny reviews toilets series!

[@JohnnyStrides]

lol

[@kramer911]

Idk why I expected it to be spotless in there after.. Not sure what type of cleaning is going on but I guess beggars can't be choosers.

[@iamthatiam44444]

That toilet is in need of some deep cleaning and re painting stat!

[@fatoye]

paris is so nice for having a complementary shoe ☺️

[@shizukagozen777]

🤣🤣🤣👟

[@david1george]

Dirtiest washroom walls I've ever seen. I'd rather buy something at McDonald's and use theirs. Toronto shouldn't get these unless they had a clean button to notify maintenance about those walls like they do at Walmart.

[@etblok9359]

Montreal has these!

[@yvr2002rtw]

I remember another youtuber leaving his camera on a similar type of public toilet just to see what would happen inside during the wash cycle. Did you thought of doing the same?

[@JohnnyStrides]

Never occurred to me lol

[@MalcomMcLeod]

My hovering technique would need to be absolutely on point!

[@lisadeeyoung]

So bizarre, the timing of this. I saw a video yesterday or the day before about these. Someone sat on the sink to trick the washroom into going into the self-cleaning cycle when he was in there. Didn't seem too crazy.

[@CityWalks_Estelle]

We have these here in Geelong & Melbourne been around for about 9 years im so suprised Toronto doesn't have them & you have a 10 minute time limit or the door opens automatically it cleans everything after each person they are handy but some are gross they should have hand sanitier to & when you flush the toilet it if you don't flush the tap wont turn on i mean to wash your hands

[@dimasdushyanto3928]

Thanks for the video…it gave me how to prepare, seems to me toilet in Paris is dirty…😊

[@darleneaitken1620]

Some of our fast food restaurants are filthy now. Times have changed.

[@cainrac]

Good morning, Johnny Strides! Thanks much for showing us this piece of technology, except that the area by the toilet looks very unclean. Yes, they should have something like that in big cities like Toronto. Bring it to Mayor & Council & see what they say/think...................Cheers & have yourself a great day/trip! Happy touring! 🥰🥰🦅🦅

[@jeanbolduc5818]

Montreal is way ahead of Toronto ... self cleaning toilets exist in Montreal ...

[@Gadol_Adonai_196]

Is there an option to leave the door open?

[@tka1528]

When I use to live in France my aunt stayed in one of those public toilets at the time it had only a 5 minute limit and she got stuck in it during the cleaning cycle and she came out soaking wet, at the time it was funny as hell but would hate to have it happen to me, lol

[@caperboy1169]

I saw some at Fisherman’s Wharf in San Francisco

[@Netgear1968]

These are quite common all over Europe

[@taklungwong]

In France, in railway stations and even churches, you have to pay to use the toilets. If you don't have coins, bad luck. I had to hold off until I got on the train, to use the train's free toilet. 🥴

[@pauly5418]

I thought it would have a bidet with a blow dryer not for the hands.

[@1spell539]

"self cleaning" i see brown stuff everywhere

[@Ifeomaubadi]

What is the name of the toilet?

[@Nature_with_Peter_Kane]

You didn't say if there was any smell in there 😅

[@KevinLaswiss-l6m]

I thought the one in Toronto was not clean. That one looks bad

[@Ibrahim-ey9bu]

Humans have reached the moon and are planning to go to Mars, yet we still aren't able to create eco-friendly, self-cleaning public toilets or even manage to keep a simple public bathroom clean.

[@dshock2903]

Yah, long off and on rainy season.

[@jennifergala]

Not very clean haha.

[@NanaDots]

Nope.. I'll pass. Looks like Rust or mildew. Garbage still there. Definitely standing position only 😷 🤮

[@NanaDots]

Good share with information on the toilets. 👍

[@jorgesoberanes2378]

We have some of those in Mexico and I guess they're cleaner.

[@jujubees711]

This is why it's nice to be a guy when there's no toilet paper and you don't have to sit

[@CliffCarson]

geez, Johnny ..if that is what a self cleaning toilet looks like after ...I do not want to see the before....ugh.

[@monaj33]

Where was the toilet paper??

[@davehenderson6896]

It looks dirty as hell to me.

[@LLAMA84L.VILLANUEVA]

As a person, who has lived in Finland, this toilet seem luxury clean for me

[@shizukagozen777]

Parisian here: they usually are pretty clean. This one indeed looks absolutely awful. 😂

[@JulianPhotofit]

Those French words basically said “it’s us the dogs” pretty weird. Disgusting public bathroom lol.

[@boomgraham]

cant spare a square

[@JohnnyStrides]

lol

[@dshock2903]

Wow Paris doesn't seem to have much to look at.

[@Mrs.Topsykretz]

Toronto has this. Go down through Woodbine Park and cross street to beach and it is right there. Been there for years. At the crossing area across from condos near parking lot. Beaches East.

[@JohnnyStrides]

Having a couple of something is not the same as having hundreds IMO.

[@sherylleelee]

No. There is no way. That is too not good.

[@aikidcruz291]

There's one by Harbourfront

[@ThomasJM]

There is also another at woodbine beach near the TTC bus stop there. They did have plans for more but people objected to having to pay a tooonie to use it.

[@margd77]

The one on Queens Quay is cleaner and costs a quarter to use.

[@ThomasJM]

@@margd77 i think they are both a quarter, i just couldn't remember what it was.

[@jonny777bike]

To have nice bathrooms you need to pay for them and they need to be cleaned by humans. There are people out there who won't clean up after themselves no matter where they are and won't to leave the world a mess for others. As an American I've been to the bathrooms in Mannheim train station. You had to pay to use these bathrooms and they were kept clean.

[@grassytramtracks]

Most of the toilets are better than this one, but someone left some things behind for the next people

[@jeanbolduc5818]

These self cleaning toilets exist in Montreal and way better ...bigger , modern and cleaner

[@lovable-chaos]

OMG. A comb, shoes and clothes!! Not very clean at all. Ick. Someone went in right away when you left? I thought they self cleaned first!! 🥺

[@masajhn]

That was disgusting i will never go in a place like that .. terrible for a 1st world country

[@shizukagozen777]

Man, you could have used a better example ! What image of us are you showing to the world ! LMAO

[@JohnnyStrides]

lol it was random, I didn't know what to expect.

[@shizukagozen777]

[@serchsource8744]

No toilet paper!! No thanks for me!!

[@ingmarwaffenstrat3449]

The odour is putrid. Even if washed.

[@6west7r]

i would not go in there only if i had to

[@hunterm4188]

Probably the most disgusting restroom I’ve ever seen 👍🏻, definitely should keep trying to act like it’s awesome… absolutely ridiculous

[@LeeAnneG]

Nah. They’d just ruin it.

[@matureyoungman]

it's gross to think of the sexual activities that happen in those

[@SuperTerry1971]

That not clean enough 🙄

[@FCT8306onTwoWheels]

Wow it's dirty in there

Doesn't wat to Touch anything.. Ludicrous! Very American.

What if a German didn't want to touch anything in there? Would that make them very German? 😋

But he lives in America, albeit Canadian America. Still pretty American from across the Pond. I've known English immigrants in Vancouver who called Canadians 'Yanks'..😁
