Putting loo lid down when flushing

[AllIeveknewonlyou]

I heard this a few years ago, that you should put lid down when flushing to escape spray.

Is this a load of cobblers? Do you do this?

I am still slightly annoyed at having to battle the toilet yesterday with a loo brush (the final resort) as it hadn't been cleaned so my mind is on loo related matters!

DysneyBlueEyes on Earth, where I live, I've never seen or heard of this.

Lid up for the flush so I can check the loo is clean. Then lid down otherwise all the luck if the house disappears down the loo.

Toothbrush in a case in a cupboard.

I flush then lift the lid up so I know that it's clean.

It just annoyed me a bit today that I had to clean it as it wasn't me and wondered if other people did the same thing.

Well no, because obviously the typical mumsnet poster thoroughly cleans and bleaches the toilet after every use, then strips a layer or two of skin off their hands to make sure they're not contaminated after doing so."
Exactly this 😂😂 But they never use a loo brush!
