If you're known to flush with the lid up, then we think it's best you place the lid down...
Toilets are less than sanitary places but somehow, they are always a fun topic.
A topic that really gets people's attention. We've always known that it is best practice to place the toilet lid down before flushing.

As much as we have known that water droplets enter the air from the toilet bowl when flushing, actually seeing it makes is somewhat more gross.
"Scientists showed how water spews from the toilet bowl after a flush, using powerful lasers to illustrate what we normally can't see. Scientists have known for some time that tiny, invisible drops of water escape the toilet bowl after each flush. But this is the first time scientists have shown this happening in real-time with lasers." (Business Insider)
