🚽 Should You Leave the Toilet Lid Open or Closed?

You Might Be Doing It Wrong Without Realizing!

Toilets have become standard in almost every household, making life much more convenient. But have you ever wondered why your bathroom still smells unpleasant, even when it looks clean? Or why your towels always seem to carry a weird odor?

Surprisingly, it may all come down to one small habit — whether you close the toilet lid or not.

Recently, when we had a plumber come fix a blocked toilet, he gave us a few useful tips. That’s when I realized… I’ve been doing it wrong this whole time!

1. Leaving the Lid Open? That’s a Problem!

Many people leave the toilet lid open all the time — it seems more convenient, right?
But in reality, it causes more trouble than you think.

✔️ When you flush, tiny droplets containing bacteria and waste particles splash up — even if you can't see them.
✔️ Over time, the buildup of limescale and residue in the bowl causes stubborn odors.
✔️ These odors and germs spread through the air and stick to things like towels and bathroom surfaces.

Even if you wash your towel daily, if it’s drying in a smelly bathroom — it’ll pick up that smell.

2. The Right Way: Always Close the Lid After Flushing

If you already close the toilet lid after use — good job, you're doing it right!

✔️ Closing the lid traps odors and bacteria inside the bowl
✔️ Keeps your bathroom fresher and cleaner
✔️ Essential for bathrooms combined with shower areas
✔️ Protects towels, loofahs, and bath products from absorbing odors

It’s a small step, but it makes a big difference in hygiene and comfort.

3. Toilet Smells Still Won’t Go Away? Try This Easy Cleaning Hack

Toilet odors can be tough to get rid of — especially if there’s buildup of limescale or stains inside the bowl. But don’t worry, there’s a lazy-friendly method that works well!

✅ Here’s how to do it:

1. Flush the toilet once

2. Sprinkle a bit of laundry detergent inside the bowl
   → It helps clean and adds a light scent

3. Pour in some white vinegar
   → It’s acidic, which reacts with the alkaline buildup (like urine stains and limescale)

4. Close the lid and let it sit for 20 minutes

5. Scrub lightly with a toilet brush, then flush again

That’s it! The smell and stains will be much easier to clean — no need for harsh chemicals or constant scrubbing.

🧼 Final Tip: Always Close the Lid

It's not just about cleaning — it's about using your toilet the right way.
Next time, after flushing, make it a habit to close the lid. It's a small act, but it keeps your bathroom cleaner and your family safer.
