At this point, we ask ourselves the question: are we really moving forward correctly?
What happens to germs?
We all know that when we flush the toilet, the tank causes the water to flow into the bowl.
However, this simple action can cause germs to spread throughout the bathroom.
So, if we don’t want our bathroom to become an amusement park for unwanted germs, we can minimize their spread by flushing only after closing the lid.

Water conservation:
For those who don’t know, it takes between 3 and 10 liters of water to flush the toilet. This largely depends on the size of the cistern in your bathroom. However, if we were to waste between 3 and 10 liters of water each time we urinate, and keeping in mind that this is drinking water, by the end of the day we would have wasted approximately 80 liters. This is an individual calculation, so imagine the expense for a family of four who use the toilet several times a day! Wasting water in this way is harmful not only to us but also to the entire ecosystem. For this reason, flushing less frequently, or at least limiting its use, is an excellent way to reduce water waste, especially when it’s not necessary.
How many bacteria are in urine?
Many people think that urine is sterile. This isn’t entirely true, but it is true that the number of microorganisms and bacteria in urine is much lower than in our saliva.
