IN BLANKSTARE NEWS: Do you flush the toilet with the lid up or down?

The powerful force of the flush can shoot disgusting microscopic particles into the air, which is why some might argue that flushing with the lid down is the more hygienic thing to do.

Forget the debate over which way to hang the toilet paper ... The real question is: Do you flush the toilet with the lid up or down? The powerful force of the flush can shoot disgusting microscopic particles into the air, which is why some might argue that flushing with the lid down is the more hygienic thing to do. However, microbiologist Charles Gerbas at the University of Arizona has been studying toilet germs for nearly 50 years and he says it really doesn't matter, because any way you flush it, those viral particles are being released. He says, "A lot of people said all you have to do is close the lid and the problem is solved. All that air when you flush goes somewhere, and it carries the viruses that are in the toilet bowl out of it."
