In many schools, students keep their water bottles on the classroom floor because there is no place to keep them on desks. The floor may have dust, mud, shoe dirt, food pieces and germs. Students pick up their bottles many times during the day with dirty hands.
Because of this, the bottles become dirty very fast. Sometimes students touch the bottle cap or mouth after touching the floor or shoes. This can spread germs and may cause stomach pain, cough or other health problems.
During rainy days, the classroom floor becomes wet and muddy, making the bottles even dirtier. In crowded classrooms, bottles may roll on the floor or get kicked by mistake.
This problem happens every day in many schools. It may look like a small issue, but it affects cleanliness and student health. Although its drinking water which is clean and safe but it can become unsafe because the bottles are kept in unhygienic places.
