10 Of The Dirtiest Spots In Your Home!

• No matter how clean you try to keep your home,
  there will always be those hard to reach or
  forgotten about places where dirt and grime like
  to hide. And in fact, some of the dirtiest spots
  are the items we use the most, and its perhaps
  because we use them so often that we dont always
  think about just how dirty they might be. Items
  such as video game and television controllers,
  and any other frequently used handheld devices
  can play host to thousands of germs per 100
  square centimetres, which in many cases, amounts
  to more than five times the amount found on
  toilet seats, yuk!

• While we should of course wash our hands
  frequently, the reality is that most of us dont
  wash our hands directly before we touch most
  things in our homes, which can even include door
  handles and light switches, making the
  transmission of germs and bacteria a very real
  risk.
• Cleaning handheld devices and controllers
• Washing these items can prove a little trickier,
  since you dont want to get water into any
  electrical components, but provided you use a
  damp cloth and are careful, you shouldnt damage
  the item. Mix water with rubbing alcohol in a
  bowl, dip your cloth in and give it a good
  squeeze so that its damp rather than wet, before
  giving the item a good wiping over.

• Removing batteries first is a good idea, and a
  toothbrush can help you get into all the little
  nooks and crannies, such as the spaces between
  the buttons or around the screen. Try to do this
  regularly so that dirt and dust doesnt have a
  chance to build up there.
• You should also include your cell phone in this
  regular cleaning routine, since experts have
  shown that there can be anything up to 4,200
  units of bacteria found on the average cell
  phone.
• Cleaning your cell phone
• In much the same way that you would clean your
  video game controller, make a solution of 70
  isopropyl alcohol and water and soak a sponge or
  cloth in it.

• Wring the sponge or cloth out so that its damp,
  not wet, and give your entire phone a good
  wiping. While it might not be necessary to do
  this every day, at least once a week is
  recommended. You may prefer to purchase store
  bought sanitizing wipes that are designed
  specifically for cleaning phones and other
  handheld, electronic items.
• Now we know just how grimy those items can be,
  here are some other common dirty spots that can
  be found in the average home

• Kitchen sponge or cloth
• Coffee reservoir
• Toothbrush holder
• Cutting board
• Stove knobs
• Purse handles
• Kitchen sink

7

• Pet bowl, bedding and toys
• Light switches
• Faucets
• If youre worried about germs and bacteria
  invading your home and threatening to make you
  and other members of your household sick, try
  calling up the professionals and having them come
  into your home to get it hygienically, and
  spotlessly clean.
