How to clean it: A vacuum cleaner can’t reach the bottom of your rug, so it is best to hire a company that is specialized in deep cleaning. Do it at least once a year!

#6 – Your faucet handle

You can multiply the number of bacteria on your toilet seat by 21, and you will get how much germs your bathroom faucet has. But, if you multiply it by 44, then you will get the number of bacteria on your kitchen faucet handle. Isn’t it crazy?

How to clean it: You must clean it with your sink regularly to make sure that your hands are not getting dirtier when you wash them.

British researchers conducted another study to see what’s dirtier: the computer keyboard or a toilet seat. So they went to an office in London and swabbed 33 keyboards, and found out that it holds 5 times germs more than the toilet seat.

This issue has caused a stomach flu outbreak in 2007 at an elementary school in Washington, D.C.

How to clean it: You have to wash the surfaces and your hands regularly to protect yourself from any illnesses.

#8 – Your handbag

It turned out that your handbag does truly carry everything, including the germs. The British researchers found out that handbags that are used regularly are 10 times dirtier than a toilet seat, while an average handbag is only 3 times dirtier.

The handles of the bag are the ones with the most germs, and also, the creams and lipsticks inside the bag.

How to clean it: If you have cloth bags, then try to wash them regularly. But if you own leather and plastic bags, then it is best to use disinfectant wipes. Keep them off the ground!

The device you use to switch channels is incredible germy. It collects the bacteria that were in your hands and anything that was roaming around the couch or the surface where you put it on. If you eat in front of the TV, then it is very possible that your remote still holds crumbs and germs from weeks ago!
