StepNpull will make touching germ infested public toilet door handles just a nightmare

Most of us have a difficult time touching public toilet doors just after washing our hands and trying to stay as far as we can from germ and bacteria, but with this precaution device that allows people to open the door with their foot, the germy handle is just left behind.

Mick Janaway had enough of unsanitary door handles and is now promoting a serrated metal plate that can be used to open doors without hands. The plate is screwed onto the bottom of the door and it is used to drag it by using the foot instead of the hand.

Usually a person has between 10,000 and 10 million germs on their hands and using the toilet only doubles the amount. The StepNpull device is contamination free and keeps one's hands away from all those nasty handles touched by the majority of the people going through the door.

After almost losing his arm because of a nasty bacteria contracted through a small cut on his thumb, Mick decided to avoid any similar incidents and promote a healthier way of opening doors, the “Look! No hands” approach.
