Siwak (tooth stick)
It was narrated from Abu Umamah that:
The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: "Use the tooth stick, for the tooth stick purifies the mouth and is pleasing to the Lord. Jibril never came to me but he advised me to use the tooth stick, until I feared that it would be made obligatory for me and my Ummah. Were it not that I fear that it would be too difficult for my Ummah, I would have enjoined it upon them. And I use the tooth stick until I fear that I may make the front of my mouth sore.' (i.e. my gums) (or cause my teeth to fall out due to brushing them so often)."
It was narrated from Miqdam bin Shuraih bin Hani' that his father said:
"I said to 'Aishah: 'Tell me, what was the first thing that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) did when he entered upon you?' She said: 'The first thing he would do would be to use the tooth stick.'"
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ حَدَّثَنَا شَرِيكٌ عَنِ الْمِقْدَامِ بْنِ شُرَيْحِ بْنِ هَانِئٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ عَائِشَةَ قَالَ قُلْتُ أَخْبِرِينِي بِأَىِّ شَىْءٍ كَانَ النَّبِيُّ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ يَبْدَأُ إِذَا دَخَلَ عَلَيْكِ قَالَتْ كَانَ إِذَا دَخَلَ يَبْدَأُ بِالسِّوَاكِ

It is undesirable (Makruh) to urinate in the place for washing
It was narrated that 'Abdullah bin Mughaffal said:
"The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: 'None of you should urinate in his wash area for most of the insinuating thoughts come from that.'" (Da'if)

But nowadays this does not apply, because the baths you use now are built of plaster, Saruj and tar; so if a person urinates there then pours water over it, that clears it away, and that is fine.'"
It was narrated from Hudhaifah that:
The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) came to the garbage dump of some people and he urinated on it standing up.
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ حَدَّثَنَا شَرِيكٌ وَهُشَيْمٌ وَوَكِيعٌ عَنِ الأَعْمَشِ عَنْ أَبِي وَائِلٍ عَنْ حُذَيْفَةَ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ أَتَى سُبَاطَةَ قَوْمٍ فَبَالَ عَلَيْهَا قَائِمًا
