2. The bathroom door is always open for ventilation
A lot of people think the bathroom has a peculiar smell, sometimes choose to open the window and the door of the bathroom at the same time, in fact, this approach is wrong.
If you leave the door open for a long time, fresh air will come in, but it will also blow bacteria and mold lurking in the bathroom directly into the room, creating a messy “inner loop.”
People live in such a room for a long time, the incidence of respiratory and skin diseases are much higher.

In many homes, the paper towel bucket next to the toilet has no lid. Because the toilet is much more humid than other places, it will contain a large number of harmful bacteria such as enterobacteria, and the bacteria multiply relatively quickly, so it should be put in the trash can with a lid as far as possible.
6. Put your toothbrush on the counter of the sink
A transient cyclone inside a toilet, toilet or trash can can send germs or microbes up to six meters into the air and stay there for hours, landing on walls and toothbrushes. So, it’s best to put your toothbrush in a drawer or cabinet.
