Many normal sized homes will have four toilets. One in the finished basement, one in the master, one in the powder room and a fourth in the bathroom that services the children’s bedrooms. And that’s in a suburban three bedroom middle class home.
Add one more bathroom of you have more than three bedrooms or some kind of in law guest suite and you have five. |
Now it is becoming more common for there to be 2 bathrooms in the master bedroom suite.

I clean my toilet seats with isoprobyl alcohol.
Cleans and kills germs.
I clean my toilet bowls with comet.
When I am inspired I bleach my vegetable cutting board from red pepper stains but then I have to wash it so well before use that it usually just remains stained.
My toilets are clean.

I wish. My house is a pre war house and it has 4 bedrooms plus finished attic and a guest/in law suite. (which we use as living space/office) One bathroom upstairs, and one downstairs in the guest suite.
More modern houses usually have more bathrooms, but often smaller bedrooms.

Completely true as you can generally date a home based on what kind of indoor plumbing a home has as well as the size of closets in the bedroom.
I have lived in homes that were built at the turn of the century so ONE indoor bathroom upstairs was a luxury. Often a pantry or closet would be converted on the ground floor to a tiny powder room.
En suite bathrooms in "middle class" homes didn't become a thing until probably the late 1960's - and then they were generally small with a small shower - small sink and a toilet.
Of course if a home was originally built for a wealthy person, it might have additional bathrooms. My friend lives in a home that was built just after WW II but it was assumed there would be a live-in maid and so there were originally four bathrooms - and then an addition with a master suite was built so five toilets. This was a "nice" home when built - for a professional - but was not a mansion or even a McMansion by any stretch of the imagination.
My friend lived in a two bedroom apartment in Manhattan and it had a maid's room with a toilet off the kitchen. There was only one bathroom for the family so I guess the maid was allowed to bathe once a week but was otherwise giving herself sponge baths from a basin. This was a middle class West Side apartment built probably in the 1920's.
