Toilet Talk

You can fight those icky germs found lurking in most bathrooms with these common-sense tips:

  • Close the toilet lid before flushing to help prevent germs from being ejected onto nearby surfaces.
  • Since bacteria breed in moist environments, keep the bathroom ventilated and dry to reduce the possibility of bacterial multiplication.
  • Use bath tissue as a barrier against germs for your hands when lifting or closing the toilet lid, and when grasping the handle to flush the toilet.
  • Avoid using communal cloth towels for drying hands, especially when a family member is ill — use paper towels instead. Consider putting a paper towel holder in the bathroom.
  • Clean bathroom surfaces regularly, particularly the toilet seat and flusher handle, to reduce risks of cross-contamination. Increase cleaning frequency if someone in the household is ill.
