Questionnaire and undressing experiment were carried out to clarify the consciousness concerning dirt and how to treat clothes in the toilet. In the questionnaire (n=522), most of the respondents chose “toilet seat” and “floor” for concerning dirt in the public toilet. More than half of the respondents had tried to cope with the dirt to keep their cloths clean. Additionally, most of the respondents had tried not to touch their trousers or skirts to the floor when they change the clothes in the public toilet. In the undressing experiment, six males were asked to take off two trousers and during that, the height at which the trousers touched the floor, and the length of the contacted area were measured. As a result, it was shown that the length of the area of the wide leg trousers was longer than that of the suit trousers. These results suggested that the prevention measures of the trousers or skirts touching the floor are needed in the public toilet.
