Open or close? Which position to choose for the toilet lid

I’ll say right away: I personally am calm about an open toilet lid. Well, open and open... But my friend will simply terrorize her family 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 not really nagging?

I decided to find out how to deal with her correctly. And why the closed lid requirement is strictly observed in many homes.

Believe it or not

At first I came across explanations that, to be honest, I was skeptical about. 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 located in one place - in the toilet. More specifically, in the toilet and cistern. And the position of the toilet lid determines whether this negativity will remain here or spread throughout the apartment. And it will have an impact on all its inhabitants.

Consequences predicted by mystics

Of course, in this case, the eastern sages do not promise us anything good. Judge for yourself, this is what awaits you if you fail to comply with toilet rules:

• Those living in this apartment cannot avoid quarrels, disagreements, and misunderstandings in their relationship with each other.
• They also face financial problems. There will always be a shortage of money.And you won’t be able to save up, and it won’t be easy to pay off your debts.
• And in general, 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 can’t stop thinking that lids appeared much later than toilets. We lived then without them and dealt with this negative energy without them. Now why won't it work?

On the other hand, maybe we shouldn’t doubt the advice of Eastern sages? How about just closing the lid, just in case?

Moreover, this requirement has not only mystical reasons.

Rational reasons

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

Modern sewer systems use a strong water flow when draining. It flushes the contents of the toilet into the drain, creating a lot of micro-spatter. They rise into the air and then spray. In this case, the particles not only “return” to the toilet, but also settle around it. Thanks to their lightness and weightlessness, they manage to “capture” considerable space in the bathroom.

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

If only it were water. But the contents of the toilet bowl are added to it, along with all the germs and bacteria!

And even if you wash your hands most 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 way they can get on your toothbrush! Phew... 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. All!

Important! You need to flush the toilet with the lid closed! This will prevent the spread of germs throughout the bathroom.

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

Well, besides this, there are other reasons to close the lid. These are small children and animals who are so attracted to an open toilet.

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

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