00:00Do you really need to close the toilet seat before flushing? Here's what we know.
00:03According to the American Journal of Infection Control, closing the toilet seat before flushing
00:07doesn't actually make a difference when it comes to the contamination of bathroom surfaces.
00:11But the study did find that it makes a difference when you disinfect the toilet
00:14and bathroom surfaces after flushing. While it may not be super realistic to clean the
00:18toilet after every flush, you should try to clean it at least weekly to mitigate the spread of germs.
00:22And if you or someone in your house is sick and you're sharing a bathroom,
00:25you should try to clean the toilet even more often.
