Microbes in Your Mist

Posted on 27th March 2012 in bathroom

Here’s another gross factoid from our buddy Chuck. Every time you flush your toilet it gives off a microscopic mist, so if your toothbrush is w thin misting range t gets sprayed w th bacter a—yuk! Some good news though—since bacter aren’t superhuman broad jumpers, you just need to keep your toothbrushes far away.

If you live in a New York City apartment this may not be poss ble; therefore, lose the lid before you flush and consider keeping your toothbrush near your kitchen sink.
• Attach a disinfecting wipe to the bottom of the slippers or socks with a rubber band or scrunchie.
• Turn on your iPod and dance away the debris.

SWIRL: Dampen a microfiber mop and put half a capful of mouthwash on it, then sweep. Mouthwash will give your bathroom a fresh, minty smell—feel free to take a swig for yourself. Use the time you’re swirling it around in your mouth as a timer so you don’t spend more time doing this task than you have to!
