There are many nuances associated with the bathroom.

For example, many housewives believe that the door to the bathroom should always be open to disperse odors and quickly evaporate water after bathing.

In fact, this habit is more harmful than beneficial.

Studies have shown that when you flush a toilet, bacteria and viruses are released into the air, which quickly spread to other rooms when the door is open.

After some time, they settle on the kitchen countertop, the living room sofa and the bedroom bed.

In addition, after a shower, there is high humidity in the bathroom, and if you open the door, this moisture will spread throughout the apartment, which can lead to the formation of mold on the walls.

The best solution would be to close the bathroom door, take a shower and turn on the ventilation to quickly remove moisture from the room.

It is also worth installing heated floors and a heated towel rail to maintain a comfortable temperature and prevent mold formation.
