Stop Doing This In The Bathroom!

Stop Doing This In The Bathroom!

These seemingly harmless bathroom habits may impact your health and hygiene. So stop doing them!

Flushing The Toilet With The Lid Up
Fecal matter and urine can fly as far as six feet away from the toilet bowl during each flush, according to Charles Gerba, a microbiologist from the University of Arizona. Close the lid before you flush to keep those gross particles in your toilet and out of the air!

Throwing Wet Wipes In The Toilet
Many “flushable” wipes aren’t as toilet-friendly as they claim to be. In fact, tests conducted by Consumer Reports showed that some personal cleansing wipes still couldn’t break down in the water after 10 minutes compared to regular toilet paper which disintegrated within seconds. These “flushable” wipes have been well known for clogging sewer systems in big cities like San Francisco and New York. Other toiletries that should never be flushed down the toilet include: sanitary napkins, tampons, condoms, band-aids, and dental floss.

Sitting On The Toilet Too Long
Some people like to use their toilet time to catch up on a good book or scroll through their phone. But there is a common health risk associated with sitting on the ceramic throne for too long: hemorrhoids. The seated position places a lot of pressure on the veins in your lower rectum which can swell or bulge and cause hemorrhoids. Just remember that the toilet isn’t the time or place for “me” time.

Using The Same Washcloth To Clean Your Face
Moist things like your washcloth are the perfect paradise for bacteria to latch onto. Grab a new washcloth before you wash your face each time. If a new washcloth seems a bit excessive for your daily routine, use your hands to scrub your face. And make sure you switch your towel out every couple of days too. Damp towels also harbour lots of bacteria.

You Don’t Rinse Your Soap Bar Between Uses
One study said that pathogenic organisms may be hiding out on bar soap during and after use, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). But research shows that the bacteria from a soap bar are unlikely to transfer onto your hands. Just to be safe, you should always rinse your bar soap under running water to wash away the germs before lathering up and store the soap in a dry place to keep the bacteria away since they love moist environments.

Keeping Your Toothbrush Too Close To The Toilet
Toothbrushes should be stored about four feet away or more from the toilet because, as noted above, fecal matter and urine can propel from the toilet bowl when you flush with the lid open. The sink is another area that’s off-limits since soap and dirty water can splash onto your toothbrush. The American Dental Association recommends storing toothbrushes separately in an upright position in a dry area to prevent the risk of harboring bacteria and cross-contamination.

You Don’t Wash Your Hands Long Enough
Twenty seconds is all it takes to give your hands a proper scrubbing with soap and water, according to the CDC. But at least 95 per cent of people don’t wash their hands long enough to effectively kill germs based on a Michigan State University study. The average hand-washing time was less than half of the CDC’s recommendation—only six seconds. Need a clever way to keep track of time? Sing the “Happy Birthday” song twice to give you the perfect amount of time to properly clean your hands.

You Place The Toilet Brush Back Into Its Holder Immediately
Toilet germs and moisture breed and multiply every time you put a toilet brush back into its holder right after each use. Let the brush dry completely after you’ve finished cleaning the toilet bowl so you’re not scrubbing the same bacteria back into your toilet the next time you use it.

So....are you going to think twice about what you have been doing?

Bet some of these sound familiar. Either you do them or have noticed others have.

Sexy...

I gave up worrying about "germs" a long time ago. I ain't had a germ jump me for so long, I can't even remember the last time one got me. Ain't even had a cold for 17-18 years.

I find that a daily regimen of drinking large volumes of aloe vera juice mixed with blueberry and pomegranate... and at least 2-3 grams of vitamin C are the secret to the sauce.

As for washing hands, soap don't really kill germs--it flushes the critters down the tubes. Water will work. But soap lowers the surface tension of your skin and the suckers can't hang on as easily. If you look close, you can see the freakin' claws those suckers are sportin'.

I agree with all those points! I have lived with toilet lids down for the last 45 years due to having cats in my household, but convincing visitors to do this is damm near impossible!

Yep it can be harder to train humans than it is to train cats!

I piss in the sink and wash everything down as I'm washing my hands. Splash free, trouble free and clean. The drains meet so it winds up in the same spot. A lot of guys, I'm sure do the same thing. About all that other stuff? I was brought up in an age where as kids - we used to drink out of the garden hose when we were thirsty. So I don't really give a shit about germs... A lot of other more dangerous things to worry about in our world today. But thanks for the info...

To each his own but yes society in general has become a bunch of germaphobes. My Mom used to say, ‘you have to eat a peck of dirt before you die’.

The idea that anyone might keep a toothbrush near a toilet is . . . yuuuck amp;

When the going gets weird, the weird turn pro.

The only thing we have to fear is fear itself.

Yep. What's scary is that it doesn't have to be that close. Think of hotel room bathrooms where the sink IS right next to the toilet. Or someone who plugs in their electric toothbrush and places it on the toilet tank. YUCK!

Most of these suggestions/facts are absolutely one way to stop the spread of germs and keep you healthy. The toothbrush one is for real- I worked for oral surgeons and we often figured out an oral pathogen bu questioning patients about their habits. The body you save will be your own

Pretty scary how cleanliness can be so difficult for people to achieve / maintain.
Thanks for validating these suggestions.

Pretty scary stuff huh? Yep, I know I have seen some of these practices in other people's homes and shake my head, wondering, "what the heck were you thinking?"

While I see the value in all your suggestions, what about bathroom sex?
Countertop intercourse ?

My suggestions were about things to STOP doing.
Do you think bathroom sex is a bad thing?

Just checking, No bathroom is not a bad thing. I am all for it at every opportunity.
