Should The Toilet Lid Be Closed?

When it comes to the toilet, don't be too dirty. It is what we see every day. It is an "old friend" in our personal private space. It solves our "worries" every day and makes us feel comfortable and happy. So the question is, in your daily habit, when you flush the toilet after having fun, do you cover or open the toilet lid?

 -Should the toilet lid be closed? -

Regarding the question of whether the toilet lid should be closed during flushing, there are pros and cons in the market:

Positive view: the toilet lid should be covered when flushing

If the toilet lid is opened when flushing, the instantaneous cyclone in the toilet can bring germs or microorganisms up to 6 meters high in the air, suspended in the air for several hours, and then fall on the wall, toothbrush, mouthwash cup, and towel . Therefore, it is necessary to develop the habit of closing the toilet lid when flushing, and the lid can also help people isolate the peculiar smell in the toilet.

Counterpoint: The toilet lid should not be covered when flushing

Bacteria will concentrate on the toilet seat. Even if you cover it to isolate the peculiar smell and prevent the water from spraying out, you can’t change it. When the toilet lid is closed for flushing, the bacteria will still float inside the toilet under the action of the cyclone. And it is easy to attach to the edge of the toilet seat and toilet lid. The next time you open the toilet lid, you will also be exposed to bacteria, which may be infected, so what is the use of "cover"!

▼ The truth

When the family toilet flushes frequently, due to the small water volume and low pressure, the number of bacteria brought up by the cyclone is limited. On the contrary, the toilet on an airplane has a high flushing pressure. In addition, the toilet on an airplane has a small space and is not ventilated. Passengers should cover the toilet when flushing to prevent bacteria from accumulating in the air. In the family, it does not make much sense to cover or not cover the toilet. The key is to keep the toilet ventilated and dry. It is best to close the door and turn on the exhaust fan when going to the toilet.

The toilet seat is the most intimate contact with our skin, so the gasket should be replaced frequently.

After flushing, if any residue is found, it must be cleaned up with a toilet brush in time to prevent it from sticking to the toilet and becoming "stubborn."

▼ Tips for cleaning the toilet

The toilet should be scrubbed from top to bottom. When scrubbing the joints of the inner edge of the toilet, the brush should be at a 45-degree angle and brush horizontally in one direction.
