Dirty Bidets May Spread Germs Instead of Keeping You Clean
Many people use bidets at home or in public bathrooms because they believe they are cleaner than toilet paper. However, experts say bidets can be unsafe if they are not cleaned thoroughly, especially when many people use them. Studies by the Korea Toilet Association and Seoul National University found harmful bacteria on toilet seats. Bidet nozzles can collect even more germs because they stay wet. Contaminated water from bidets can cause infections, particularly in women and people with weak immune systems. Automatic cleaning is not always enough. Experts say regular and careful cleaning is the best way to stay safe.
