You should never flush with it open as the other commenter wrote. Flush closed, then check after ~30sec again if there is a floater or stains. I have a friend I needed to explain that if he flushed open with his toothbrush in the vicinity, he could just go and put the toothbrush in the toilet bowl, not much of a difference.
It doesn’t matter. You do whichever placebos you into feeling like it’s better so you aren’t stressed about all the shit particles you’re breathing and scrubbing on your teeth.
The control toothbrushes outside the bathroom had the same amount of fecal coliformes on them. That stuff is everywhere, it doesn’t matter if you flush lid open or closed.

That was tested with Mythbusters. When your toothbrush is nearby there was hardly a difference if you flush open or closed, sorry :)
No, they didn’t test open VS closed.

Ah, it had no lid, and unfortunately that part of the end-scene is cut off on YouTube. It was this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nb-_KRh8asM

Damn that’s new for me. Glad I have them in the cabinet anyway but this sucks
That just concentrates the airborne germs into a jet that shoots out between the seat and the rim.
