It’s called toilet plume.

A toilet plume is the invisible to the naked eye, cloud-like dispersal of raw, infectious sewage particles as a result of flushing a toilet. Flush particles rapidly rise out of the bowl and several feet into the air after flushing. Aerosolized droplets can remain suspended in the air for tens of minutes between users, posing an inhalation risk. These invisible particles go on to coat and spread onto surfaces like floors and counters or objects like hand towels, bathmats, or even toothbrushes.

      Exactly, personally I like to keep them on the opposite side of my house so that you can’t dry your hands at all.

      Edit: I especially love it when my guests go to dry their hands and then have to start rummaging through my cupboards to find a towel, only, jokes on them! We don’t keep that in the bathroom!

          Oh yeees! Of course the linen closet I have right outside of my bathroom! Why didn’t I think of that!? The bathroom which happens to open into my kitchen, where there are barely any cupboards for my kitchen stuff.

          Sorry, my bad, I totally misunderstood.
