Experts point out: 6 bad habits in the bathroom will affect people’s health and increase the risk of getting sick! Come and take a closer look, do you have these habits?
1. Put a deodorant in the bathroom
Some people like to put various scented deodorants in the bathroom. Although they cover up the odor, these scents are all chemical compounds, and long-term absorption is likely to induce lung cancer.
Try not to place deodorants in the bathroom, but open windows or open exhaust fans frequently, which is stronger than any deodorant.
2. The bathroom door is always open to maintain ventilation
Many people think that the bathroom has an odor, and sometimes choose to open the window and door of the bathroom at the same time. In fact, this approach is wrong.
If the door is left open for a long time, the fresh air outside will come in, but it will also blow the bacteria and mold lurking in the bathroom directly into the room, thus forming a sloppy “internal circulation”.
People live in such a room for a long time, and the incidence of respiratory and skin diseases is much higher.
The bathroom must be well ventilated. It is no problem to open the window frequently for ventilation, and the door does not have to be open.
If your bathroom has no windows, then you must first install an exhaust fan with high power and good performance.

4. Shower with your mouth open
The shower head is actually a breeding ground for germs, and the water heater is also the place where the most germs hide. Therefore, when rinsing the head, it is best to keep your mouth closed to prevent bacteria from entering the body through the water flow.
5. Trash can without lid
In many people, the paper towel bucket on the side of the toilet has no lid. Since the bathroom is much more humid than other places, it will contain a large number of harmful bacteria such as intestinal bacteria, and the bacteria multiply relatively quickly, so you should try to put a trash can with a lid.
6. Put the toothbrush on the countertop of the washbasin
Toilets, toilets or trash cans are usually placed next to the sink, and the instantaneous cyclone in the toilet can bring germs or microorganisms to a height of 6 meters in the air, and suspend them in the air for several hours, and then fall on the wall. and toothbrush. Therefore, the toothbrush is best placed in a drawer or cabinet.
