It's no secret that the toilet and bathroom are full of germs.

All people know that after using the toilet, you need to wash your hands with soap and wash the toilet bowl at least once a week with a special, disinfectant.

Do I need to close the toilet lid when flushing?

According to many studies, it is desirable to close the toilet lid before flushing. And no matter how long ago you cleaned the toilet with detergents.

The fact is that along with the flush, bacteria that are contained in wastewater rise into the air.

In addition, these germs from the toilet settle on surfaces near the toilet: on the floor, bedside tables, bathroom.
