Whilst i agree that germs dont jump 3 ft in the air (however; scientific advice states that you should not keep your toothbrush within 6ft of your toilet), would you do it at home? Also, I can count on one hand the amount of times I have seen crew pour T & C from 3 ft as it splatters all over the toilet floor/walls etc, mainly crew pour from just above the rim or below it and when its bumpy yes the pots do touch the toilet. Thats my experience and what I have seen from the vast majority of my colleagues, so thats all I can comment on. As said, provide us with the right products to stop any blockages.
