For some people, the toilet seat becomes a place to read books, watch videos or scroll through social media when they get in.

5. Placing toilet brush back into the holder immediately after use
This act can cause germs and moisture to breed in the brush. Before putting the brush in its holder, allow it to dry out.
6. Keeping toothbrush too close to the toilet seat
When being flushed, fecal and urine matter get into the air, and when your toothbrush is close by, they can get into the brush.
7. Not Washing your hand for long
