Flushing the toilet is something that people do multiple times a day, every day, and so it's hard to imagine that some could be doing it 'wrong'.
However, that might just be the case as an expert has warned that a common flushing mistake can have gross consequences. And that's not all, as reported by the Mirror Online, the microbiologist also revealed that the different areas of your bathroom need to be cleaned at different intervals.
Speaking to Honey Living, Emma Harding, molecular virology researcher and PhD candidate at the University of New South Wales shared the grim revelations. She explained that there is a 'right' way to flush the toilet, as the lid should always be down when flushing.
