Never flush the toilet after urinating, it’s a big mistake: here’s why

How many bacteria in urine

Many people believe that urine is sterile. This is false in itself, but the truth is that the number of microorganisms and  bacteria in urine is much lower than that found in our own saliva.

By this we mean that even if there are still bacteria, their concentration is so low that there is no problem leaving  pee in the toilet for a few hours.

Change the water pressure

Have you ever taken a shower and flushed the toilet? If you’ve lived with multiple people, this has probably happened several times, and we can assure you that the water pressure drops, and  we often end up showering with cold water without warning.

This can also be affected  if we use the dishwasher or washing machine while someone is showering.  Therefore, to avoid changing the water pressure, it is best to wait until they have finished showering to flush the toilet.
