#4 Storing Your Toothbrush In The Bathroom
We are all probably guilty of making this mistake.
More than half of the toothbrushes in households have bits of human feces on them. How did it get there? Because you store it in your bathroom. When you flush your toilet – the contents of your toilet bowl are sprayed in all directions.
This is all the more relevant if you share your bathroom with others – especially with kids around the house. Putting a lid on your toothbrush helps reduce this issue.
Consider storing your toothbrush someplace other than your bathroom – like on your nightstand or inside your medicine cabinet.
Oh, and don't forget to close the lid on your toilet seat before flushing.
