Even though the kitchen harbors the most bacteria in the house, that’s not to say your bathroom is pristine. Every time you flush your toilet, an aerosol spray of water droplets, laden with bits of feces and urine, explodes into the bathroom. The bacteria contained in those bits of waste travel as far as eight feet from the toilet, onto your bathroom sink, the floor, and even your toothbrushes. Closing the toilet lid before flushing can limit the spray, but it won’t completely eliminate the spread of bacteria. Nothing is safe.
