A toothbrush should not be used if the bristles have started flaring up. Another good reason to change your brush is when you have had a bout of illness, be it a cough or cold. Most studies have shown that it is best to also keep them away from the bathroom to reduce the incidence of spreading germs. It is advisable as a good practice to change toothbrush every 2 months whether or not the bristles have flared up or a round of illness.
How leaving a cluttered bathroom can harm your health?
2 of 5
While we often don't realise, the every time the water spray and toilet flush are used, there is a spray of germs too into the open toilet space. Imagine the toilet tray having everything spread from the hair dryer to the hair brush. It is definitely not a healthy habit, and keeping things locked in cabinets is always safer. If possible, keep toiletries relating to individuals separately. This will help avoid the spread of germs from one person to another.
Using the phone in the bathroom is okay.
3 of 5
While most of us want to use the toilet time to finish with messages on the phone, it definitely is not a healthy idea. In fact, the phone has been declared as one of the most contaminated products in recent times. The bacteria spray and water flush makes sure the germs are spread throughout the bathroom, leaving the phone completely contaminated. Leave the phone out of the bathroom; you may think you save some time, but it may be a great health hazard.
Using a loofah for a long time is a nice way to clean off the body

Yes, working up a nice lather with the soap and scrubbing with the loofah is a good cleansing tool. But think about it and never use it for too long. It only makes the bacteria stick to it - what more do they want other than a moist and closed environment. Make sure the bath sponge or the loofah is not used for very long time. Try avoiding the loofah with every bath, and after use, dry it out, if possible in the sun, so it is completely dry.
Keeping the toilet seat closed is a good idea.
5 of 5
Keeping the toilet seat closed is a good way to keep the germs at bay. An open toilet seat allows for the easy spread of the germs throughout the bathroom. Keeping it closed (open only during use) ensures the germs are contained and not spread easily. Especially in shared bathrooms, it is essential to avoid the spread of germs. Try flushing the toilet when the seat is down, it is a great way to control the splash of germs throughout the bathroom.
