the dirtiest things that we touch everyday



There are several dirty things that we all touch...daily. In fact, we touch a few of these things multiple times a day.

Based on some data from researchers...here is a list of the dirtiest things that we touch everyday (in no particular order)

1. SPONGES AND DISHCLOTHS
Do you wash your hands after touching these? If not...you should.

2. SINKS, FAUCETS, AND HANDLES
We have to touch these daily. Often after we touch them, we touch our face. This is an easy way for us to spread germs




3. TOOTHBRUSHES AND TOOTHBRUSH HOLDERS
This is a campground for germs





4. REFRIGERATOR HANDLES
If you are like me and you have kids, your handles are dirty

5. CUTTING BOARDS
I use cutting boards often so I know it's not easy to keep them clean. You must wash them before and after you use them.





6. REMOTE CONTROLS
If your remote control is normally under the couch or under the covers in your bed, it's probably dirty

7. PHONES
You're probably touching your phone right now...

8. PURSES
Ladies...When's the last time you cleaned your purse? The answer is probably "not recently enough."

9. GROCERY CARTS
You know those wipes most groceries have sitting out by the carts? Start using them: Researchers say almost all supermarket carts have E. coli because of the frequent food contamination.

10. KEYBOARDS
Staph, Coliform, yeast, and mold are often found in the crannies of your favorite QWERTY keyboard.
