A man has sparked outrage after revealing how he washes his toilet seat in the dishwasher alongside his dirty plates and cutlery. TikTok user Alison Koroly has shared a video of what appears to be her husband removing their toilet seat before loading it into the dishwasher for a quick rinse.
The 12-second clip has racked up almost two million views in three days - with viewers not knowing whether to believe it's true as she describes her content as "short films and comedy sketches". Commenting on the clip, one user said: "You can't eat at anyone's house..."
Another user added: "Yep, just throw the toilet seat in next to the plates."
A third user said: "I'm never buying a second hand dishwasher."
One more user added: "Not with dishes in it already - please God no."
Helping to put her viewers' minds at ease, Alison told the New York Post: "Our goal is to create entertaining content that people would laugh at and find fun and funny, and lighthearted."
Although it shouldn't need to be said, Dr. Brian Mangum, associate professor of medicine and epidemiologist at University of Health Sciences Antigua, has strongly urged people against washing their loo seat in the dishwasher.
He said: "The bigger issue, though, is what happens after you remove the toilet seat from the dishwasher.
"Consider the fact that your toilet seat is already full of germs, and you have now potentially transferred those germs to the same dishwasher where you will wash your children’s plates after pizza night
"Would you eat pizza off the toilet seat, even if you had cleaned it first? Probably not.
"You would be much better off just using bleach or other commercial products designed to kill germs."
Jumping on Alison's joke, one user commented: "I wash my dishes with my toothbrush - shame to waste that excess toothpaste."
Another user added: "I put my dishes in the toilet and flush. Much faster."
One more user said: "Don’t forget to put the toilet brush in the dishwasher as well!"
