Victorine I was raised in Ohio, too, in Columbus. That is definitely not the "armpit of the nation".

When it's private home I say bathroom when it's in public I say restroom and I have no idea why they call it a restroom because you get no rest in there!

"restroom" for public bathrooms, otherwise "bathroom" . . . . USA, northeast. Don't forget "water closet"...

Or just "WC," though WCs in some homes were and are separate from a "bathroom". Many Europeans and Asians find the idea of the toilet and tub being in the same room very odd and unsanitary. -

I agree. As a plumber, I'm always impressed with the more upscale homes that locate toilets in a "closet" separated from the rest of the bathroom by a door. About the size of a linen closet, includes an "exhaust fan". Very practical, especially for a bathroom that might be used by more than one person at a time.

Bathroom at home, restroom for a public convenience. I grew up in Ohio until I was 15, but this is not an Ohioism. I've lived all over the country, from New England to the West Coast and now Chicago, and I've encountered this usage everywhere.

I usually refer to it as the "can".
-
I say bathroom at home or at somebody else's home. If I'm out and about, I say restroom, because there are usually not bath facilities in public restrooms. I was born and raised in the mountains of central Calif.

From the UK so of the options you give it is a loo, although I would probably say toilet. A bathroom has a bath in it, a washroom a sink & a restroom possibly a bed.

I call it a toilet and I was born and raised in England.

I sometimes ask "where's the WC?" for Water Closet but since Im in hill billy country no one knows what a WC is &some helpful person often hands me a cresent wrench or a pen or a handy wipe or some other random off the wall item. I should probably write a book about it.
