Mnemonic symbol: the WTO or WHO.
Sherlock Holmes (sh) is cleaning a flower pot (廿) under the shower of the space station's bathroom (Ø4) with a loofah (L) because he didn't quite understand a poster next to the shower from the WHO (世) explaining dangers arising from different germs.
In this case, L is for loofah.
