Best reason to close the lid: The things you do in the toilet smell. Lid keeps the smells from spreading.
Flushing is a thing.
Tell me you haven't owned a house without telling me you haven't owned a house
I own two houses and seven toilets and I can't say that I have ever had my toilets stink unless they are broken or not cleaned regularly.
Also, they might be stinky if I was to get my nose all up in there, but I tend not to do that.
As far as I know, my bathrooms all have working fans as well. That could cause issues if they were broken.
Cleaning regularly is the one, your short comment above insinuated flushing is all you need to do.
The short comment I posted should be classified as a quip.
What it actually insinuated is there is a very short list of operating and maintenance procedures for toilets. If you are to the point of closing the lid to contain odors, some of those basic steps might be getting missed. Hence, the quip.
Plus it hides the nasty stuff you leave behind, when you don't know how to operate a toilet brush.
I do it to prevent my dog from drinking from the toilet
Actually it doesn't, flushing with the lid closed can leave the particles in the air for up to around 11minutes longer as they exit the side of the toilet with more velocity and pressure. It's not a sealed system.
Yeah, I'm aware that toilet lids are not an airtight system, I've seen them. It still does slow down airflow enough for most of the poop to settle instead of spreading to your whole house.
No it actually does not, it increases the spread and creates a pressure build up compared to being open, you are initially adding volume into the toilet when you flush with the lid closed this pressure build up is greater and spreada the particles further. You are essentially creating a shit nozzle on the sides of your toilet. All the lid does is help the particles become bigger so there are fewer visible particles but they are bigger and travel further, while remaining airborne longer due to their velocity.
