It’s a common debate – should you leave pee in the toilet or flush it away? There are pros and cons to both, so it’s really up to you to decide what’s best.
Leaving urine in the toilet can help to mask any bad smells coming from the drain, as the ammonia in urine can act as a natural deodorizer. However, if you have a small bathroom, the smell might still be noticeable. Urine can also build up over time and cause staining, so you’ll need to give your toilet a good clean every now and then if you choose this method.
Flushing urine away is the most hygienic option, and ensures that your bathroom stays smelling fresh. It’s also the best option if you have a septic tank, as urine can cause problems with the bacteria that break down waste in the tank. Flushing also uses less water than leaving urine in the toilet, so it’s more environmentally friendly.
The short answer is no, you should not leave pee in the toilet. Urine is full of bacteria and can cause serious hygiene problems. It’s also unsightly and can make your bathroom smell bad.
If you’re a man, you should always aim to urinate in the bowl and not on the seat. If you’re a woman, you can hover over the bowl if you’re worried about bacteria. Either way, it’s best to flush right away so that the urine doesn’t have a chance to sit in the bowl and cause problems.
