LOO or pee?? Keep the toilet clean!


Singapore one of the cleanliness country and holiest citizens in the world. Singapore successfully creates a programme to monitor facilities' cleanliness of public toilet on smartphone application.This app provides toilet users with the convenience of locating a clean toilet nearby and also providing feedback on a dirty toilet they have just visited according to Emerson Hee, LOO programme app's Executive Director of Restroom Association of Singapore.


Successful apps and businesses need to solve people’s needs and problems. Luckily for this mobile app based in Singapore, it fulfills both needs and problems of the consumers. The Restroom Association of Singapore launched an app that tracks the conditions of Singapore’s public restrooms. The mobile app is proving to be very popular as many residents want to know which public restrooms are the cleanliest for their standards.














The mobile app is basically a “Yelp” for public restrooms. Users can use the app to find the nearest clean bathroom, see ratings or reviews on the bathrooms, then they can personally review the restroom after they use it themselves.

The LOO (Lets Observe Ourselves) Connect app allows users to rate over 40,000 toilets in Singapore.

It is only available on the android market at the moment, with a July release date for an Apple version. It has already been downloaded more than 500 times from the Google Play Store. The app allows users to rate over 40,000 toilets in Singapore. Users can merit super clean restrooms or put to shame some of the worst toilets. The app also allows users to upload pictures of the dirty toilets too. Restrooms with 4 stars and more will be deemed as “user-friendly.” This has been part of a campaign in Singapore for better toilets since 1998. The group also asks for donations for restroom cleaning attendants. They also have competitions for the cleanliest toilets too. Lastly, the group produces posters for “How to have fun in the toilet.”
