There's a difference between brushing your teeth in the same room as your toilet and storing your toothbrush uncovered in the same room as your toilet.

toilets actually throw up a lot of fine spray when flushed...

i recently started brushing/flossing/shaving/etc in my kitchen, which has a better view, and is larger, and usually pretty damn clean.

my tiny bathroom is now for showering and eliminating only.

should have done it years ago. it makes way more sense in an apartment. did you notice nice/large houses usually have the toilet separated from the sinks?!
