What Is The Dirtiest Place In Your Home?
It is no surprise that our home is filled with all kinds of nasty filth and grime. We bring in germs on our bare feet, our bedsheets and mattresses are covered with debris, and let’s not forget our bathrooms!
Ask most people and they will tell you that the toilet is hands down the dirtiest place in a home. Surprisingly, your toilet is actually one of the cleanest surfaces in your home! While this might come as a surprise, it actually makes sense when you think about how often most people wash their toilets compared to some other places in the house that you wouldn’t expect to be as dirty.
But the place that takes home the prize for “most disgusting room” is actually one that you might not expect: Your kitchen. Given how much time we spend cleaning our kitchens, this might be surprising to most people. So why is this the case?
The answer lies in the fact that food is a carrier of some of the grossest germ. Bacteria from raw meat gets all over our kitchen without us even realising it. Our counter tops, sinks, and refrigerators have all been contaminated by the bacteria our food carries with it.
This is no thanks to perhaps the dirtiest item in our homes- the kitchen sponge. It is a dirty, dirty item that carries all sorts of food leftovers containing bacteria that can multiply over time. Many of us also fail to wash our hands thoroughly during food prep, and inadvertently spread germs all across the kitchen and beyond.
The most important things we can do to combat bacteria from our food is to make sure we always adhere to the highest standards of hygiene. Always disinfect your kitchen sponge after we use them and wash your hands like your life depends on it! These will help prevent cross-contamination that takes place as we go about our business in the kitchen.
