My Improvement
I think toilets should have softer seats or seats with cushion. They should also have a Febreze attachment that spays Febreze as soon as you flush the toilet. In today's world I think all toilets should have a touchless flush. So many germs are on the nozzle when you flush after using the bathroom.
