If you’re savvy, you probably always put the lid down when you flush – after all, surely everyone knows if you don’t, it basically sprays poo everywhere.
Well, we have bad news for you.
The truth is, closing the lid does not reduce any cross-contamination on bathroom surfaces when it comes to spreading nasties like norovirus in tiny particles of faecal matter.
When you flush, millions of invisible particles are ejected into the air, with such force this ‘toilet plume’ can launch them five feet or more away from the bowl.
Now it seems, even with the lid down, those crafty microbes still spray out the sides and float around the bathroom, just hoping to come into contact with a human.
A study, published in the American Journal of Infection Control, found the only effective way to reduce viral particles was via disinfecting the toilet, toilet water and nearby surfaces.
