This has not been verified by Snopes.

In Sweden, a customer in an international hamburger chain has lost his appetite, after discovering the restaurant's toilet seats being washed in its dishwasher alongside the kitchen utensils.
The Swedish TT news agency says while visiting the toilet, the man had noticed all the seats in the cubicles had been removed.

When he asked staff about the missing seats, an employee took them out of a dishwasher where they had been cleaned, together with trays and kitchen utensils.

The employee reportedly tried to reassure the customer by saying the freshly washed toilet seat would be warm and pleasant to sit on.

However, the restaurant chain now says the incident is not standard company procedure.

Health officials have since visited the restaurant.

Removing the toilet seats seems like more trouble than it's worth.

We used to just hook up a hose and spray down the bathrooms. No muss, no fuss. Of course - that is in the pizza and fast food type establishments.

I thought everyone cleaned their toilet seats in the dishwasher! You mean some people clean those nasty seats by hand? Now that is gross!
