Don't forget to wipe before you swipe the next time you are at Tokyo's Narita International Airport.

 

下次到东京成田国际机场的时候，不要忘记在滑手机之前把它擦干净。
 

 

Toilets at the airport have been equipped with "toilet paper" that you can use to disinfect your smartphone.

 

Paid for by Japanese mobile giant NTT Docomo, the sheets also include information about the firm's public Wi-Fi networks as well as details about its smartphone travel app.

 

The bizarre dispensers have been installed in seven restrooms and will remain in place until March next year, local media cited NTT Docomo as saying.

 

Japan is globally renowned¹ for revolutionising its public toilets, many of which are clean, modern and boast very elaborate high-tech² features.

 

"There are more than five times of germs on a smartphone screen as compared to a toilet seat," NTT Docomo said in a post on its official YouTube page.

 

It added that the special cleaning rolls were "made to clean screens so foreign tourists could enjoy their travel hygienically".
