Did you know? Flushing a toilet creates a spray of tiny water droplets that can carry bacteria, viruses, and other germs. This phenomenon is often referred to as a “toilet plume.” These droplets can spread several feet from the toilet and settle on surrounding surfaces, such as counters, toothbrushes, and towels. This is why you should always close the toilet seat before flushing. #ilbagnonigeria #healthtips #safetytips #bathroomsdirectng | Ilbagno_nigeria

When you flush without closing the lid, you trigger a microscopic explosion. A toilet flush generates a forceful upward spray of water droplets, aerosols, and microbes — a phenomenon known as a toilet plume. These particles can shoot up to 1.5 metres into the air. They linger long enough to settle on toothbrushes, towels, faucets, phone screens, and bathroom counters.
