The toilet lid should be open or closed and why

I will say right away: personally, I am calm about the open toilet lid. Well, open and open... But my friend at home simply terrorizes if she sees this. She spends so much energy on this struggle for order in the toilet that I involuntarily began to think: maybe this is really not nit-picking?

I decided to find out how to do the right thing with her. And why the closed lid requirement is strictly enforced in many homes.

Believe it or not

At first I came across explanations to which I, frankly, skeptical. On the other hand, what if they work even for skeptics like me?

The fact is that according to the eastern teachings of feng shui, the negative energy that accompanies a person is in one place - in the toilet. More specifically, in the toilet and cistern. And it depends on the position in which the toilet lid is located whether this negative will remain here or will spread throughout the apartment. And it will exert its influence on all its inhabitants.

Consequences predicted by the mystics

Of course, in this case, the Eastern sages do not promise us anything good. Judge for yourself, here's what awaits if the toilet order is not observed:

• Living in this apartment not avoid quarrels, quarrels, misunderstandings in relation to each other.
• They are also threatened financial difficulties. There will be a lack of money all the time. And it will not be possible to accumulate, and it will not be easy to distribute debts.
• And generally speaking - there will be more and more grief, it will be difficult to organize your life conveniently and comfortably.

You can avoid all this, and without any difficulties. You just need to keep this negative energy "in check". It's easy to do - just close the lid!

On the one hand, I never stop thinking that the lids appeared much later than the toilet bowls. We lived then without them and coped with this negative energy without them. Now why doesn't it work?

On the other hand, maybe you shouldn't doubt the advice of the Eastern sages? And just close the lid, just in case?

Moreover, this requirement there are not only mystical reasons.

Rational reasons

Hygiene specialists explain everything from their point of view. It is quite understandable and justified.

In modern sewerage systems, a strong water flow is used when draining. It flushes the contents of the toilet down the drain, creating a lot of microspray. They are rise into the air and then spray. In this case, the particles not only "return" to the toilet, but also settle around it. Due to the lightness and weightlessness, they manage to "capture" a considerable space in the bathroom.

Reference! The radius of the "toilet plume" can be from 2 to 5 m.

If it was only water. But to her the contents of the toilet are also added along with all the germs and bacteria!

And even if you wash your hands thoroughly, you cannot be sure that you will dry them with a clean towel. Most likely, a lot of microbes have already found a place on it! But this is how they can get on the toothbrush! Ugh... I don't even want to think.

How to keep your toilet clean

And in order not to think about it, you just need to close the toilet lid. Everything!

Important! Flush the toilet with the lid closed! This will prevent the spread of germs through the bathroom.

Agree cleaning the lid regularly is easier than all the surfaces in the toilet!

Well, besides that, there are other reasons to close the lid. This is small children and animalswho are so attracted to the open toilet.

Their health and safety is well worth teaching everyone in the family to keep the toilet lid closed!

It turns out that her friend is right: keeping the toilet closed is a useful habit that should not be neglected.
