Germiest Places in Your "Clean" Home
YUCK
Tags: germs, places, homes, nasty, gross, contagious, clean, sick
Places you'd think would not have that many germs compared to others.
| 1. | The kitchen sink - especially that sponge you've been using for months to clean dirty pots and pans |
| 2. | The toilet bowl - well, you might expect this, but you should buy toilet seat wipes for the restrooms you share with guests |
| 3. | The garbage can - especially if you don't use trash bags in them |
| 4. | The refrigerator - think about the old moldy foods that sit inside forever in an area that is rarely cleaned |
| 5. | The bathroom doorknob - stats say that most people don't wash their hands after, and this is the first thing they all touch |
| 6. | Phone recievers - if someone in your home is sick, this is the easiest place to catch those contagious germs |
| 7. | Desktops - people never seem to wipe down desktops, though you spend 8 hours everyday touching it |
| 8. | Keyboards - keyboards can be infested with boogers and germs over years of fingering |
| 9. | The flush handle on the toilet bowl - I take that back, this is the first place people touch after going to bathroom, even before they have a chance to wash hands |

Here's some germ-avoiding bathroom tips. Flush public toilets with your foot. Wash your hands then use your paper towel to open the bathroom door (if it doesn't push out). If it does push out, back into it or shoulder it open. --Notes from the Germaphobe! Comment by: buccicone.2 Oh also, the second place people touch after going to the bathroom: the sink faucet. This is the first thing you also touch with your WASHED hands...think about it. Comment by: buccicone.2 These are great... now I have a good list of places to remember to clean. I'll add to this (and this one is really weird, but nobody EVER cleans it) the cord on blinds - how many people open their blinds every day and close them every night (sometimes after coming right in from taking the dog outside or something) and never think about that little cord?
