Since 1995, all public toilets must have this open seat. - Bacteria and viruses are tiny enough to easily soak in through the paper the covers are made of. - You can find toilet paper in different colors on the market. But most manufacturers bleach it to make it softer. - No one knows for sure, but some think that this name appeared back in the 16th century when Sir John Harrington invented Britain’s first flushing toilet. - In many homes, there’s a vent pipe that goes outside to the roof. When the wind blows hard above that pipe, the air pressure in it is lowered. - Most American toilets use a syphonic system, which forcibly draws toilet water down the drain.
