Certain bathroom habits can negatively impact cleanliness and hygiene. Here are five common mistakes and how to correct them:
- Hanging towels near or above the toilet: Bacteria from the toilet can transfer to your towels, so it’s best to hang them in a different area.
- Not closing the toilet lid before flushing: Flushing with the lid open can spread bacteria throughout the bathroom. Always close the lid before flushing.
- Not ventilating the space: Bathrooms with high humidity need regular ventilation to prevent mold growth and protect the walls from damage.
- Skipping weekly cleaning: For optimal hygiene, sanitize your bathroom at least once a week. A quick wipe-down with a disinfectant spray is often enough.
- Leaving toilet paper in exposed areas: Store toilet paper properly in a clean, dry space to prevent contamination.
